St. Botolph's church (aka "the stump") is the main landmark of #Boston, #Lincolnshire, #UK. The name of the town is derived from "St. Botolph's town". Today I climbed the 200 something stairs to enjoy the view. I found graffiti dating back to 1817 inside the narrow staircase.

In 1607 religious separatists aka the #pilgrims fled to #Leiden in the #Netherlands, and then sailed to the New World on the #Mayflower to found Boston, Massachusetts, USA. #history

Looking forward to hearing about "Mayflower Descendants in North Carolina" next in the 2023 Virtual Conference from the NC Genealogical Society. (Have to admit, I hadn't thought about this before this topic was announced.)

John Carver (l. 1584-1621 CE) was one of the leaders of the Mayflower expedition, first signer of the Mayflower Compact, and first governor of Plymouth Colony.

@Sameagle @jeffjarvis Yes, I know and I've read the studies/research and the layers are complex. It seems #Republicans today are #CarnivalHucksters selling snake oil to poor people red or blue. They don't like those people or #BlackPeople, #Immigrants or their citizen children unless they came on #Mayflower. #MAGA #GOP want a #WASP #America where THEY prosper and have power. The #Democrats argument is a sideshow but the eating their own for #gerrymander, social/health cuts are main stage

Do you know how many #Mayflower descendants there are in the world? Millions. Even if one’s Mayflower ancestor was among the “most influential” (whatever that means), that’s like ten generations back.

I’m a descendant of TWO influential Mayflower passengers—and I’m slouched on the sofa, jobless and grumbling about an old book
