William White and Sussana Jackson would be my 10th great grandparents. Here is the line through the Tannahill family. The first 5 generations are in the Mayflower Families - Through Five Generations - Vol 13 (Silver Books) There are a few comments on a few interesting ancestors. I have several ancestors who were on the Mayflower. I suppose most people who have early New England ancestry probably share the same claim.
William White (10 Nov 1591 - 21 Feb 1621) m. Susanna Jackson (1592 d. 01 Oct 1680 )
William, Susanna and their son Resolved were 3 of the 102 passengers of the Mayflower. They also brought along two servants. In late November, Susanna gave birth to their son Peregrine having made the voyage in the latter stages of her pregnancy. The two servants who came with the White family both died that first winter with Edward Thompson being the first to die amongst the passengers. William Holbek also died soon after they landed. Both were indentured servants.
There were also 30 crew. They dropped anchor near the tip of Cape Cod Massachusetts on November 20, 1620. During that first winter, most stayed on board the ship because of a lack of shelter and food. There was an outbreak of scurvy, pneumonia and tuberculosis. Only 53 passengers and half of the crew survived that first winter.
Susanna was the only surving widow and went on to become one of the first brides, marring Edward Winslow in May of 1621, having 5 more children in addition to her two sons with William White. It has only been the past few years that we have actually known her last name thanks to persistent research by some descendants.
Resolved White (1615 d. aft 19 Sep 1687) m. Judith Vassall (b. 1619 d. abt 3 Apr 1670)
Anna White (b. 4 Jun 1649 d. 26 May 1718 ) m. John Hayward (b. 20 Dec 1640 d. 22 Nov 1718)
David Allen b. 1675 d. bef 1752) m. Sarah Hayward (b. 16 Jun 1689 d. bef 1748)
David Allen (9 Feb 1713 d. 1799-1800) m. Sarah Baker (27 Sep 1715 d. Aft 1762)
Interesting point - I worked with Lucy Kelly Simpson trying to find the connection between Adoniram Allen and Ethan Allen (Green Mountain Boys - Revolutionary War). We never could make the connection through the Allen family and it turned out the connection was through the Baker's. Their mother's were sisters. David traveled to either NC/GA likely after 1762 and ended up in North Carolina. Both David and his son Adoniram fought in the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780 which would have made David around 67 and Adoniram at 46 years of age.
Adoniram Allen (b. 1734 d. 1838) m. Elizabeth Morris b. 1777 d. 1815)
Adoniram is possibly one of my favorite ancestors. He was born near the New Hampshire border in 1734 moved to Georgia and then North Carolina with his father. He then got a land grant and moved to Kentucky and started a mill there in 1807 at 70 years old. His nickname was "Teges" because he was "particular" and the creek near that mill is called "Teges" in his honor. Adoniram retired at 102 and died two years later at 104 years of age.
Morris Allen (b. 1794 d. 4 Nov 1864) m. Rachel Bishop (b. 1805 d. aft 1870)
Ailey Allen (b 12 Apr 1823 d. 5 Apr 1890) m. William Kelly (1818 d. 9 Jun 1899) - on the right is a photo of Ailey Allen. According to family stories, this was a tintype that was nailed to the wagon that carried John Ward Kelly and family to Kansas and Oklahoma. The nail hole is still in the upper right hand corner.
John Ward Kelly (b. 8 Aug 1849 d. 20 Feb 1910) m. Melvina Robertson (b. 19 July 1849 d. 22 Dec 1890) John Ward Kelly and Melvina Robertson had 14 children. Melvina died in childbirth with that child. They moved to Kansas around 1885 near the Oklahoma border.
Sarah Rachel Kelly (b. 17 Dec 1877 d. 21 Jan 1966) m John Lyons Tannahill (b. 28 Apr 1873 d. 21 May 1945)
They were the parents of:
- Samuel Ward Tannahill (1897-1973)
- Earl Sylvanis Tannahill (1898-1942)
- William Sylvester Tannahill (1900-1988)
- John Theodore Tannahill (1902-1987)
- Goerge Carter Tannahill (1904-1971)
- Elvina Almira Tannahill (1907-1972)
- Rachel Olive Tannahill (1912-1984)
- Oliver Richard Tannahill (1912-1947) (my line)
