John Howland, Mayflower pilgrim

An interesting fact about John Howland is that he fell off the Mayflower in the middle of the Atlantic during a storm, and was saved when he grabbed a rope. He later married Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower who had sailed with her parents John Tilley and Joan Hurst Tilley. There is a painting of John overboard the Mayflower on his biography on www.mayflowerhistory.com. John and Elizabeth are the 10th great-grandparents of my grandkids through their other grandmother.

I will be glad to do lookups for any information on the descendents found in this book.

Mary,

When we're done power merging, can we call on you to proof read the tree and make sure it's correct? That would be a huge help.

I'll let you know when. There's a lot of duplicates!

Thank you so much.

Best,
Erica

I'd be glad to proof. Mary
