Our special guest speaker was the author and historian Revd. Dr. W. Becket Soule.
Our friend, Becket, spoke about Mary Allerton (1616-1699), the last surviving Mayflower passenger.
Mary witnessed the birth and the death of the Plymouth Colony, and her 1636 marriage

tragic, stories about Mary, Thomas, and the infant Plimoth Plantation.
