Robert Cushman-11th Great Grandfather

Family History & Research

Robert Cushman
11th Great Grandfather
(Responsible for the Charter of the Mayflower)


Since discovering my family ancestry from my mother and her grandparents, Henry Deitz & Grace Pope, back to Plymouth Mass. and the Mayflower Pilgrims, I have found many ancestral great grandparents and relatives that have English, Scottish and Irish roots.

Robert Cushman is one of those ancestral great grandparents.

Though Robert was not on the Mayflower and is not one of the 1st settlers of Plymouth Colony, he is treated as such in the history of the Pilgrims, as without his assistance, this chapter in the history of the world might never have been written.

Come along with me and meet one of the men responsible for the the Charter of the Mayflower and the sowing of Early Colonial America....
