In the late 1800s, as non-English immigrants flooded into America, descendants of the 102 passengers who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 were eager to establish their standing as the first settlers of the “new world”.
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants — commonly called the Mayflower Society — was established in 1897. It is a hereditary organization of individuals who have documented their descent from one or more of the Mayflower Pilgrims.
