28812 When Ingebord's first baby was born, a girl named Martha; the Indians (Souix) were excited about the new arrival. They named Martha the Indian name of Winona for the first girl child; just as later they named her brother Ed, Chuskee for the first boy child's name. Ingebord was tiny and pretty and the Indians liked to watch her work and take care of her little white baby. They would stand in clusters by the windows to peek in. They spread their heavy shawls over the windows in order to be able to see inside better. Ingebord would finally have to motion them away because they shut off so much light and darkened the room.  SIVERTSEN, Martha (I24353)

He was hon orably discharged on September 25, 1847, at Fort Leavenworth, but no mo re is known. Transportation was slow and communication was poor. Eviden tly he was unable to come home to St. Joseph for some time. Perhaps Houston was so sick and injured that he was not able to get hom e to St. Joseph for a long time. Although Houston was released from the A rmy on September 25, l847, Thirsa didn't know it. Thirsa said she thoug ht he was dead. She married another, Elisha Brown, on October 15, 1847. N o one knows exactly how long it was until Houston came back to St. Jose ph to find her married, or about to be married.

28817 While in Leiden, Francis and Hester were members of the Walloon church. In 1606, they left Leiden briefly for Norwich, England, where they joined another Walloon church, returning to Leiden in 1607, possibly for religious reasons. Between 1611 and 1618, the Cookes were members of the Pilgrim Separatist congregation in Leiden. The Pilgrim church was not established in Leiden until 1609, so Francis was living there long before their arrival and must have met up with and joined them afterwards. The two ships began the voyage on August 5, 1620, but the Speedwell "leaked badly" and had to return to Dartmouth to be refitted at great expense and time. On the second attempt, the two ships sailed about 100 leagues beyond Land's End in Cornwall, but the Speedwell was again found to be leaky. Both vessels returned to Plymouth where the Speedwell was sold. It would later be revealed that there was in fact nothing wrong with the ship. The crew had sabotaged it in order to escape the year long commitment of their contract. Eleven people from the Speedwell (including Francis and John Cooke) boarded the Mayflower, leaving 20 people (including Robert Cushman and Philippe de Lannoy) to return to London while a combined company of 103 continued the voyage. For a third time, the Mayflower "headed for the New World". She left Plymouth on September 6, 1620 and entered Cape Cod Harbor on November 11, 1620. The Fortune eventually followed, arriving at Plymouth Colony one year later on November 9, 1621. COOKE, Francis MAYFLOWER (I2016)
 
28818 While on the way to a meeting, the horse took fright, ran, and threw her and her husband from the carriage, resulting in her death. CARY, Priscilla Pineo (I37208)
 
28819 While supervising the securing of an anchor aboard the schooner H.B. Foster, he slipped and tumbled overboard. He must have been stunned or unconscious as he never tried to grab a safety line which was pitched to him as he floated passed. TABBUTT, Capt. 1st Mate William Merritt (I15989)
 
28820 While the Mayflower was anchored off Provincetown Harbor at the tip of Cape Cod, and while many of the Pilgrim men were out exploring and looking for a place to settle, Dorothy Bradford accidentally fell overboard, and drowned. Some theories have been postulated that she jumped overboard, but no evidence exists to support them. MAY, Dorothy MAYFLOWER (I10873)

He was known for his life in the woods. A great hunter and trapper. He even sold trophy sized bucks to hunters from lower MI that couldn't or didn't know how to hunt. When asked about a hunting/trapping/fishing license he would laugh and say "That's for other people!" 
PUFFER, Lyman (I14805)
 
28825 Widely rumoured to have been either homosexual or bisexual, Edward nevertheless fathered at least five children by two women. He was unable to deny even the most grandiose favours to his male favourites (first a Gascon knight named Piers Gaveston, who was banished by Edwards father, and, as a first regal command when he becomes king, is reinstated as Edward's right hand man. And also, later, a young English lord named Hugh Despenser, which led to constant political unrest and his eventual deposition. The architect of that deposition is none other than his wife, Isabelle of France (and her lover, Hugh Mortimer). PLANTAGENET, Edward II of Caernarvon, King of England (I1842)

28851 WILLIAM BRADFORD came on the "Mayflower" with his wife Dorothy (May). S he fell off the boat and drowned when it was anchored in Cape Cod (Prov incetown) Harbor. After the death of John Carver, he was elected governor of the Plymouth c olony, and continued in that capacity nearly all his life. He also wro te "Of Plymouth Plantation", chronicling the history of the Plymouth co lony, and the events that led up to their leaving England for Holland, a nd later to New England. Family History: 217 Genealogy Books There is another very interesting paper included in Mr. DRAKE'S w ork, which may be briefly noticed. It consists of extracts from the mu nicipal records of Leyden, in Holland, made by the Hon. HENRY C. MURPHY . Many English families took refuge in Leyden, and the list referred t o is a register of the births, marriages, and deaths which occurred the re among the exiles. It was from Leyden that many of the first settler s in New England, popularly known as the Pilgrim Fathers, came, and emb arking from English ports, sailed on board the ships MAYFLOWER, FORTUNE, ANN, and LITTLE JAMES. Among other notices contained in this list, are the following:--- WILLIAM BRADFORD, of Austerfield, Eng., m. Nov. 30, 1613, DOROTHY MAY, of Witzbuts, Eng.* The place here mentioned may be traced as Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire. A f amily of the name of MAY certainly lived at Wisbeach at the time referr ed to. The foregoing extracts sufficiently demonstrate the nature of the Leyde n records. Further notices are unnecessary, but the list of those who e mbarked in the before-mentioned ships is of sufficient value to entitle i ts insertion in this place,though it must be remembered that it is not a bsolutely official.It is taken from the interesting work of the Rev. As hbel Steele, A.M., entitled "Chief of the Pilgrims, or the Life and Tim es of William Brewster." Philadelphia, 1857, pp. 401-410. * Both Bradford and Winslow sailed in the MAYFLOWER. LIST OF PASSENGERS IN THE MAYFLOWER; Being the names of those who came over first, in the year 1620, and we re the founders of New Plymouth, which led to the planting of the other N ew England Colonies. This list of their "names" and families, was pres erved by Governor Bradford at the close of his History, and is here pre sented in the order in which he placed them. The value of such an accu rate list cannot be too highly estimated. JOHN HOWLAND; man servant, afterwards married the daughter of JOHN TI LLIE, and had ten children. Mr. WILLIAM BRADFORD; their second Governor, author of the history of the Plymouth Colony, lived to the year 1657. DOROTHY, his wife; who died soon after their arrival. Governor BRADFORD left a son in England to come afterwards---had four children by a second marriage. Mr. ISAAC ALLERTON; chosen first assistant to the Governor. MARY, his wife; who died in the fist sickness. BARTHOLOMEW; son, married in England. REMEMBER and MARY, daughters. RE- MEMBER married in Salem, had three or four children. MARY married in Plymouth, had four children. Capt. MYLES STANDISH; who lived to the year 1656; chief in military affairs. ROSE, his wife; died in the first sickness. Capt. STAN - DISH had four sons living in 1650, by a second marriage. Mr. WILLIAM MULLINS, his wife, JOSEPH, a son; these three died the first winter. PRISCILLA, a daughter; survived and married JOHN ALDEN. ROBERT CARTER, servant; died the first winter. Mr. RICHARD WARREN; his wife and five daughters were left, and came over afterwards. They also had two sons; and the daughters married here. JOHN TILLIE, and his wife; both died soon after they came on shore. ELIZABETH, their daughter; afterwards married JOHN HOWLAND. FRANCIS COOKE; who lived until after 1650; his wife and other childr en came afterwards; they had six or more children. JOHN, his son; afterwards married; had four children. The wife of D. PRIEST, and children, came afterwards, she being the sister of Mr. ALLERTON. JOHN ALDEN; "a hopeful young man," hired at Southampton, married PRISCILLA MULLENS, as mentioned, and had eleven children. Accordingly he says of the Mayflower company: "These being about a hu ndred souls, came over in the first ship." Afterwards he adds: "Of the se one hundred persons who came over in this first ship together, the greatest half di ed in the general mortality, and most of them in two or three months' t ime." Omitting those two hired sailors who returned, and counting the person t hat died and the child that was born while on the passage as one passen ger, we have the exact number---one hundred of the Pilgrim Company, "who came over in t he first ship." And, as fifty-one died the first season, this enumerat ion makes good those other words of the historian, that,"the greater ha lf died in the general mortality." Bradford, at the age of 18, joined with the group of Separatists that f led from England in fear of persecution, arriving in Amsterdam in 1608. A y ear later he migrated with the rest of the church to the town of Leiden , Holland, where they remained for eleven years. In Leiden, Bradford t ook up the trade of a silk weaver to make ends meet, and also was able t o recover some of the estate in England that he had been left by his fa ther, to support himself and his new wife in Leiden. They had a son, J ohn, born about 1615-1617. BRADFORD, Gov. William MAYFLOWER (I4803)

In it he mentions his wife Alice, children Prisc illa and Joseph, and his children back in Dorking, William Mullins and S arah Blunden. He also mentions a Goodman Woods, and a Master Williamson , who have not been identified. It was witnessed by the Mayflower's captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower's surgeon Giles He ale, and Plymouth's governor John Carver. MULLINS, William MAYFLOWER (I8083)

His son Rev. Samuel kept a journal, which is probably the source of som e of the vital dates above. In that journal he gave an account of his f ather's migration:
"My father William Man was born in the other England in the county of K ent (in what town I cannot learn) about the year of [our] Lord 1607 bei ng the youngest of eleven children of what age he was and in what year h e came into the land...I cannot learn, only this much he was one of the f irst comers into the Colony of the MA." 
MAN, William (I36421)

28897 World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. Born in Jefferson, Iowa and served as a Captain, flight commander for the 394th Bomb Group's 585th Squadron, U.S. Army Air Corps. On August 9, 1944 he led a formation of 30 B-26s in a mission to destroy the strategic enemy-held L'lsle Adam railroad bridge over the Seine in occupied France. During the approach, his plane's right engine received a direct hit from enemy antiaircraft fire and burst into flames. He remained composed and piloted the plane over the target to complete his mission. He then gave the order for his crew to parachute to safety from the doomed aircraft, while he held the descending plane in a steady glide. Just as the man jumped to safety, the fuel tank exploded. The aircraft sheathed in fire, went into a steep dive and was seen to explode as it crashed. His widow Evelyn accepted his posthumously-awarded Medal of Honor in 1945. LINDSEY, Darrell Robbins (I43834)
