THE PATRIOTS TO PASSENGER PROJECT

As more and more information becomes available on the internet, descendants are reaching out to connect their Revolutionary War Patriots with the Mayflower Society.  During this time commemorating the Decade of the American Revolution and the America 250 / VA 250 initiatives, now is the time.

The Patriots to Passenger Project is a growing published list of Patriots who descend from Mayflower passengers, in an effort to build a bridge between other heritage societies such as Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).

The Patriots to Passenger Project is a way to help others find their link to a Mayflower Pilgrim and also benefits our Mayflower members to discover other Mayflower lines of descent so that they can submit supplemental applications to honor and recognize all of their ancestors.

This is a work-in-progress by Florida Society Historian Muriel Cushing, so check back often.  Suggestions and ideas are always welcome!

Learn more and check out the GSMD Patriot to Passenger Project, the Virginia SAR, and/or Virginia DAR.

If you have a Patriot ancestor descended from the Mayflower that is not currently listed, contact us to add your Patriot to the project!
