Note for Researchers: Neither of Winslow's parents were Mayflower descendants. Winslow's mother Mary Winslow was the daughter of Josiah Winslow, a younger brother of Gov. Edward Winslow, the only one of the the Winslow brothers to arrive on the Mayflower. Winslow's wife Rachel Ripley was a descendant of Gov. William Bradford. But, that only makes Winslow the father of Mayflower descendants, but not a Mayflower descendant himself. (Thanks to Don Blauvelt)
