The Patriots to Passenger Project (in Virginia)

As more and more information becomes available on the internet, descendants are reaching out to trace their lineage from their Revolutionary War Patriots to the passengers of the ship Mayflower and the Mayflower Society.

The Patriots to Passenger Project is a unique American Heritage program and is based on 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) with the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (aka, the Mayflower Society).

The Patriots to Passenger Project is a way to help others find their link to a Mayflower Pilgrim and also benefits our SAR and Mayflower members to discover other American Revolutionary War Patriots and 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 Mayflower Society Historian Muriel Cushing, so check back often.  Suggestions and ideas are always welcome!
