RE: Mayflower Royal Descents? (Was Re: Ghost of

"So Richard More and his two siblings, all illegitimate, and possibly
Edward Winslow, a printer and the son of a wealthWorcestershire
merchant (owner of a salt boilery), and his brother Gilbert, are the
only
Mayflower passengers with Plantagenet descents. Five out of 102
passengers."

What about Jamestown, which of course predates the
Mayflower? I have several early Jamestown ancestors,
none of whom have royal descent. Say include only people who
are in the post-massacre census.

So it seems currently, Brad. I might also mention, though, that there
is ancient, though non-Plantagenet, ancestry for Henry Sampson of the
Mayflower [Robert Leigh Ward, _The American Genealogist_ 52:198-209 and
56:141-143; _The Genealogist_ 6:166-186].
