My Mayflower passenger George Soule documentary has now posted. You can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=dLURYM…

@RLTrane Since you are a descendant of George Soule, you may be interested to check out my YouTube channel on 11/14 in the evening. I will be posting a 39-minute documentary on George Soule. youtube.com/channel/UCtGsD…

@mayflowercaleb Hey there! Turns outs I'm a descendent of George Soule. At least if the reporting from this site. Lucile Lupton was my great grandmother. Pretty cool I think :)

The "Brewster Book Manuscript" was unveiled at the Pilgrim Hall Museum last week. This 17th century manuscript, not fully published until now, contains new historical material about Plymouth Colony: letters, patents, provision lists, and more. Order yours: lulu.com/shop/caleb-h-j…

My first documentary (written/edited/produced) covering Mayflower passenger George Soule, will be posted to MayflowerHistory's brand new YouTube channel on the evening of Nov 14. Please visit now to subscribe and turn on notifications. More videos soon! youtube.com/channel/UCtGsD…

@CCCJennaD He was born about 1636, the son of Jonathan and Elizabeth Bosworth of Rehoboth, and grandson of Edward and Mary Bosworth. The Bosworths appear to have come to America about 1633. A good source is Robert C. Anderson, “Great Migration Begins”, vol 1, pgs. 187-191.

@mayflowercaleb I was wondering if you happened to know where John Howland's son-in-law Jonathan Bosworth came from as I don't see his name on the Mayflower passenger list?

I will be giving a brief presentation at the Mayflower 400th Anniversary Constitution Week conference, streaming on YouTube today. Before me will be Nathaniel Philbrick and Nick Bunker, among others. You can watch online here: uvu.edu/ccs/mayflower/

"Wednesday the sixth of September, the wind coming east northeast, a fine small gale, we loosed from Plymouth, having been kindly entertained and courteously used by divers friends there dwelling ..." And so 400 years ago today (adj for 10 day calendar diff) the crossing began.

@hollyblaikie I have several books out. See them on MayflowerHistory.com in the bookstore section.

@mayflowercaleb What is your books title? I’d love to read it?

@mayflowercaleb Fantastic. I’ve written an historical fiction with Dorothy as a central character. Keep me posted.

@hollyblaikie Published in the article: Caleb Johnson, Sue Allan and Simon Neal, “The English Origin and Kinship of Mayflower Passengers William White and Dorothy (May) Bradford of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire”, The American Genealogist 89(2017):81-94,168-188. americangenealogist.org.

@mayflowercaleb Hi Caleb, how might I find the information you discovered on Dorothy May?

We announced the discovery of the English origins of William White, Susanna (Jackson)(White) Winslow, and Dorothy May.

@GardnerTally The passengers of the Anne and other early ships to Plymouth are well covered in "Pilgrim Migration" by Robert C. Anderson. shop.americanancestors.org/products/the-p…

I will be speaking at an NEHGS conference in Boston on September 14: "New Discoveries in Mayflower Genealogy", along with Simon Neal, Sue Allan, Robert C. Anderson and Christopher Child. If interested, here are the event details: my.americanancestors.org/single/eventDe…

@vanessastoneart Unfortunately, no, I am not sure who carved them.

@mayflowercaleb Have you any idea who carved the gravestones? I'm researching #belvoirangels ☺

Mayflower Richard More grave, center, at Old Burying Point cemetery in Salem; witchcraft mem. in back. Wives Christiana (left) and Jane (rt)

I am pleased to announce that our findings on the English origins of Mayflower passenger Isaac Allerton have been published. Find them in New England Historical and Genealogical Register 173(Summer 2019):197-205. Son of Bartholomew and Mary Allerton of East Bergholt, Suffolk.

@RebeccaSiegel14 I think it is unlikely the Pilgrims were carrying printing press components. Theirs in Leiden was confiscated in 1619, and distributing printed works into England from America would have been impractical.

@mayflowercaleb Any thoughts on what the "great iron screw" might have looked like? Are you on team "screw jack" or team "printing press"? #mayflowerhistory #pilgrims

We discovered the origins and parentage of Mayflower passenger Elizabeth Barker and more records of her family/activities at Chattisham. Our article in NEHGR (winter 2019 issue). During that research we also discovered Isaac Allerton's parents in East Bergholt ... details soon.

@coldorangina It was a documentary “Stephano: The True Story of Shakespeare’s Shipwreck” by PBS’s Hit and Run History, but unfortunately I don’t think it ever came out.

@mayflowercaleb hello Mr Johnson. I read there was a documentary filmed in England in and around Upper Clatford. The All Saints Church noted you were there. Can you share the name of the film? Would love to see it! Thank you!

@MoPubs Thanks very much, link fixed. I have met some Brewster-surnamed descendants. Looking at BrewsterFamily.org, for example, I see the VP is Stewart Brewster.

I am researching for a children's PB and noticed a hyperlink in your Massasoit page mayflowerhistory.com/massasoit/ to William Brewster takes me to William Bradford @mayflowercaleb Great collection of work! Have you knowledge of Brewster descendants carrying the surname?

Happy Thanksgiving! I am spending it in Florida, following presentations and speeches I gave in Mobile, Naples, and Fort Lauderdale. Several new Mayflower discoveries are in the publication pipeline, so stay tuned!

@dumduck2 @Rwhite42White I don’t know about short articles, but our 40pg article has all the latest: "The English Origin and Kinship of Mayflower Passengers William White and Dorothy (May) Bradford of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire," The American Genealogist, 89-2(April 2017):81-94 and 89-3(July 2017):168-188.

@mayflowercaleb my name is Robert @Rwhite42White Direct descendant William and Susanna White, I saw once a short article on White family before the Mayflower sailed. and now I can't find it again Perhaps you can help Thanks

Sue Allan's new book on Susanna (Jackson)(White) Winslow, fills out her biography in great detail, based on our recently published discoveries (The American Genealogist 89[Oct 2017]:241-264), and is due out in a month, on April 9. Get it then from domtom.co.uk!
