Preserving the legacy of the brave Pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic in 1620 and established the foundations of American democracy through the Mayflower Compact
The Alabama Society of Mayflower Descendants welcomes inquiries and appreciates interest in our activities and publications. Our members all have demonstrated direct descent from the Pilgrims or their companions who bravely crossed the gale-ridden Atlantic in the Mayflower in 1620.
Founded in 1952, we organized as a society to commemorate the spirit of these brave people who had such strength in times of adversity. Beginning with the signing of The Mayflower Compact, our ancestors created a self-governing community founded upon democratic principles.
The Alabama Society was founded to commemorate the brave Pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower in 1620, establishing Plymouth Colony and the democratic principles that would shape America.
