How has it come to pass that when retelling the story of one of the most iconic events in early colonial American history, the women involved have almost disappeared into the shadow of men?

In this new work, Sue Allan presents significant research that disputes Samuel Webber’s early study of the origins of the Southworth line in America. The claim that Constant and Thomas, sons of Edward and Alice Carpenter Southworth, descend from the Samlesbury Southworths can no longer be upheld. The evidence she presents is compelling and sheds light on many of the Bradford, Southworth and other connections.

Not for over a hundred years has anyone studied the history of Scrooby Manor with such care as Sue Allan now presents in her new book. Re-examining manuscripts and adding many previously unknown, she has built up a documentary basis for interpreting the remains of what was once a magnificent structure of more than thirty rooms, including a chapel now recognized as part of the existing house.

Sue Allan’s tenacious pursuit of origins of the Mayflower passengers in England led us from Dorothy May Bradford’s family, to William White’s family in Wisbech, which in turn led to her assembling all the pieces necessary to solve the mystery of the origin of Mayflower passenger Susanna (Jackson) White Winslow – something researchers have been trying to puzzle out for many decades without success.

William Bradford, Mayflower passenger, was not just the long-serving and most influential Governor of the Plymouth Colony. His famous handwritten manuscript, Of Plymouth Plantation, has also preserved its history in magnificent detail. While Bradford recorded and preserved the historical record of Plymouth and its people, he rarely wrote about himself and he failed to preserve a record of his own history and background. While a brief biography was assembled by Rev.
