Mayflower Pilgrims Burial Ground

The one that’s got the wooden sign next to it must be the original grave marker

George Morton? Patience Faunce?

Isaac Drewe my family!

I live in , was born in, Plymouth. Related to 17 "Pilgrims"...
It's said the original Pilgrims are buried in the hill on Water St. (Not Burial Hill)
Markers long gone.

Have you been to the Howland House?
I'm a descendant, soon to be exploring with a GoPro too!

"The first English settlers, know as the Pilgrims", Wrong- Roanoak island NC Was first, Jamestown Virginia was the first surviving English settlement.

The name is pronounced "Ig-nay-shus" (Ignatius). I enjoyed the video. Thank you very much

I found your video interesting and gave you a like and subscribed.

Skull ☠️ and bones 😮

William & Mary Brewster are my ancestors.

12 of my ancestors were buried there in 1620 and 1621. Fun fact, the oldest part of the cemetery is under a road. The first few graves didn't get stones and after a while nobody was exactly sure where they were buried. The road kept getting closer and closer to the cemetery until it ended up on top of the cemetery. Ground penetrating radar found bodies under the pavement about 20 years ago. Presumable some of them my ancestors.

I'm supposed to be related to Degory Priest. He was my 12th great-grandfather, a Lieden separatist. It's my understanding that his marker is long gone and no way off knowing where he is buried.

Simple - Samuel Talbot married two ladies who had the same first name. Commonly the married ladies' graves were inscribed with surname of their husband but not always. Also some had the term consort which was like saying "Wife of".

They didn't have modern medicine, but they also didn't have processed foods.

I have Plymouth settler Ancestors who are buried there. I live in Hannibal Missouri. The other America's Hometown.

My relatives are buried in the Howes family cemetery in Dennis/ Barnstable, Massachusetts. Thomas and his wife( maiden name Burr)

My 13 or 14th great-grandfather was William Billington.. please don't hold that against me😂

My 11th great grandfather John E. Prentice Turner was a Mayflower passenger. Died in early 1621, the winter of starvation. Doubt that he would be buried here. If so, there would be no marker.

Such great history. Thank you for sharing.

Priscilla Mullins is my great x 5 or 6 Grandmother.

My Mayflower ancestor was Dregory Priest

You left out that on the entrance of this is where they put King Phillips head on a spike for 20 years. Metocomet was Massasoett second son king phillip. Learn the truth ! Its not what we have been told. He was beheaded drawn and quartered hand chopped of and given to the Governor . Notice this is not mentioned.

That roman numeral date is1691. Age 84. Interesting video!

oh wow, the 1st settlers, colonized occupied land, rip

Have you been to Salem Mas ?

Ig-nay- shush is how it's pronounced. Ignatius is one of those old names no longer favored. Rather like those Puritan favorites, I called" morality names" like Prudence, or Makepeace, meant to be direction to the child's life. You can find some real oddities in old records.

the stones (wives' names) you had such a problem with is really quite simple. when my parents divorced my father turned around and married a women wuth the same name as my mother. we laughed and claimed that he did it that way so he wouldn't make a mistake in a moment of passion.
in the case of your tombstones, though, it's pretty obvious that the guy married another woman of the same name after his 1st wife died.

Did you see John Carver grave site there

all real british names :O)

The pilgrams were NOT the first English settlers.

Brewster is my family ancestor

The oldest graves at Plymouth were on Coles hill. The bones were uncovered in later years and are now in the memorial sarcophagus there. Most pilgrims moved out of Plymouth to other new towns. The earliest marked grave on Burial Hill is 1683. Edward Gray. The earliest gravestone in New England is in Boston. 1653? I think. It was found reused in a later building. Gravestones were not common until later on. Wooden markers or rails around the grave were used. Sometime fieldstones. None of my 5 Pilgrim ancestors has a marked grave.

The Roman Numerals are 1741 and the second one 1699.

The dead mouse probably rode over on the May Flower as well.

STOLEN LAND = CURSED

My ancestors: William and Mary Brewster

The Roman Numeral stands for 42. So Thomas Cusman was 42 years old at the time of his death. As for Mary she either died on the 28th of November or she was 28 years old.

If you’re ever in Wellfleet take a look at Moses full grave stone in duck creek cemetery it’s strange in some ways

They should put those stones under a giant housing/museum and under glass. To preserve them forever. Out of the elements.

William Bradford is my 1st cousin twelve times removed. And Isaac Allerton was my 10 Great Grandfather. In all I had 12 relatives on the Mayflower!

Very few dates from the 1600's are covered.

My 11th great-grandparents are buried there --- Edward & Mrs. Fuller, Mayflower passengers.

My great grandmother in laws cousin

My wife is from Plymouth, we live a few towns away now and spend a lot of time around the harbor, it's a beautiful spot. She went to high school with Bradford's and Allerton's and other direct descendants of the original Mayflower passengers. Many of the families live in a part of town called Chiltonville which is about a mile from the harbor. It has always struck me as a bit funny that their ancestors came all this way, thousands of miles from England to a new continent but then never made it more than a mile or so inland before they decided that was far enough.

the 2 Jerusha Talbots are the first 2 wives of Samuel. he also had a 3rd wife named Rebecca. check out find a grave for the details. two of my mayflower ancestors are buried there. John Howland and William Bradford.

What a great tour especially of my hometown that I have not visited.

Beautiful old will kept cemetery. Thank you for sharing friend. All rip Amen 🙏.
