Tomorrow being Thanksgiving I thought it would appropriate to revisit some of my children's blood ancestors who tried out a new life starting with a trip on the famed Mayflower in 1620.
Edward Doty came to New England in the Mayflower in 1620 as a servant/ apprentice in the household of Stephen Hopkins.
His place of birth is unknown. It was referred to, along with Stephen Hopkins as "of London"
They set sail in June and landed in December.
[FDR decreed the last Thursday in Nov. to be Thanksgiving. this info was taken from Mayflower Families Through Five Generations Volume 11 ]
