“Our” Jerri Thorpe McCoy’s article in the Mayflower Descendant

Mayflower

Our own Jerri Thorpe McCoy, who has been active with the Washington State Genealogical Society and many other related societies, is a published author!

I was recently in the Family History Library doing some documenting work on my several Mayflower lines and came upon a reference in The Mayflower Descendant, Winter 2 008, Vol. 57, No. 1, “Huldah Gross, wife of Jehiel Gates of East Haddam and Litchfield, Connecticut.” This was a ten page article with 107 source citations. I was most impressed.

Jerri is currently the historian for the Washington State Chapter of the Mayflower (Descendants) Society. If you think you are (or know you are) a Mayflower descendant, and would like to join this group, here is the official link:

We are proud of you, Jerri Thorpe McCoy.

    Thank you for your kind words! Huldah Gross Gates, my 4th gr grandmother, was the “snag” in my own Mayflower connection for many years. When I was finally able to prove who her parents were, I was encouraged by two Mayflower state historians to write this article for the MD journal. Now the article itself is being used as a source on new Mayflower applications. It makes me feel good that my work is benefiting other genealogists. ~Jerri
