As I've stated on this blog before, I find it incredibly cool that Lincoln and the kids can trace their lineage back to the Mayflower. Next week Hannah and her classmates will be taking a field trip to Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower. A few years ago Lincoln's Aunt Elaine and Uncle Russell gave us the documentation showing the family lineage back to Peter Brown, one of the 41 signers of the Mayflower Compact in 1620, so I put together a little sheet for Hannah to show exactly how she is connected to someone who actually came over on the Mayflower.
