I, like more than 35 million people in North America, have a Mayflower ancestor,. His name was John Howland and he came from England to America in 1620. This four-part blog entry explains our link. The first part summarizes the descent, in 13 generations ending with my mother. The second part, from a Mayflower ancestry website, details Generations 1-3. The third part, from the website Family Search, links Generations 3-5. In Generation 5,Bathsheba Joyce the Mayflower descendant marries Ebenezer Mahurin. The fourth part details the Mahurin ancestry, from Ebenezer's Scots Irish parents, to my mother in Generation 10 in the Mahurin line, or Generation 13 in the Mayflower, Howland line.
PART ONE
I list people who are related to Olive Annie (Bender) Nasby, my mom's mom, and related to John Howland (1593-1675), the Mayflower passenger listed after the following 13 links. Below that Mayflower information is the lineage of Mahurin, the most common name in this lineage.

1.
John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley (1607-87) bore Hope Howland (1629-83/84).
2.
Hope Howland and John Chipman (1613-1708, long life) bore Elizabeth Chipman
(1647-98).

Walter Joyce and Elizabeth Low (1668/71-?) bore Bathsheba Joyce
(1693-1755).
5.
Bathsheba Joyce and Ebenezer Mahurin (1691-1755) bore Stephan Mahurin (1720-63).

Stephen Mahurin and a woman whose name I can't find bore Silas Mahurin
(1744-1811/20).
7.
Silas Mahurin and Sarah (1752-1815), unknown last name, bore Stephen (Steven)
(1774- 1849).
8.
Stephen (Steven) Mahurin and Sarah Meeks (1773-1849) bore William Harmon
Mahurin (1815-1914, long life). In 1815,
Stephen and Sarah bought 75 acres in Greyson County, Kentucky that their
descendants own today.

Mahurin (1845-1927).
10.
Stephen Keith Mahurin and Annie Austin (1847-?) bore Ada Mahurin (1880-?)
Military: from October 19, 1863-October 17, 1865, Stephen was in the
Sixth Iowa
Cavalry Regiment. The United States Civil War (1861-65) was on
then.
11.
Ada Mahurin and Al Bender (?-May 8, 1945, VE Day) bore Olive Annie Bender
(1906-51).
12.
Olive Annie Bender and Marvel Nasby (1903-94) bore Irene Marie Nasby (1928-80).
13.
Irene Marie Nasby and James Joseph Wynne (1919-89) bore Harold (1951-),
Lorraine (1952-), Jeannette (1956-83), Michael (1961-), and Maryanne
(1964-).
Now that
you plowed through that, read the Mayflower passenger list below for John
Howland's name. Then note his daughter Hope and granddaughter Elizabeth
in the generations listed under his name. There are some uncertain
years but the descent is solid, I think. No wonder we Wynnes all swim.
After the generations listed below, read the Mahurin family lineage to confirm
this famous link.

The Mayflower left England on September 16, 1620 with 102 passengers plus crew, and after a grueling 66 day journey, the ship dropped anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod (Provincetown Harbor) on November 11 (dates in Old Style, Julian Calendar).
The Mayflower originally was destined for the Hudson River, north of the 1607 Jamestown Settlement. However, the Mayflower went severely off-course as the winter approached and remained in Cape Cod Bay. During the winter the passengers remained on board the Mayflower, suffering an outbreak of a contagious disease described as a mixture of scurvy, pneumonia and tuberculosis. To establish legal order and to quell increasing strife within the ranks, the settlers wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact.
At the end of that winter, there were only 53 persons still alive [view list of dead], half of the passengers and half of the crew. In spring, they built huts ashore, and on March 21, 1621, the surviving passengers left the Mayflower.
Every living descendant of a "Mayflower" passenger, as far as known, is descended from one of the twenty-two (22) passengers named in the following list. Applications for membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants mush show descent from one of these men:

There
were 104 passengers, including men, women, and children, of whom 24 were heads
of families. Two of these left only a daughter each, who married into one of
the other families, thus leaving 22 from whom descent is traced without
duplication of ancestors, as follows, viz:

PART THREE
The Link Between the Mayflower's John Howland and the Mahurins
Still with me? In "The Mayflower Passengers Their Children and Grandchildren," which ends just above, note Section IV. Atop it, you will see Hope Howland (?-1683) married to John Chipman (c1614-1708) in 1646. Just below that, line 33 notes their oldest child, Elizabeth Chipman (b June 24, 1647). and that Elizabeth will marry Hosea Joyce. Elizabeth's birth date helped me find which Elizabeth, among many Elizabeths I found, helped produce the following link between the Mayflower and the Mahurins. That link is below, in four parts, gleaned from the Family Search website, run by the Mormons, ancestry maniacs.
In Section One, below, see Elizabeth Chipman and her parents John Chipman and Hope Howland, all noted in IV of the Mayflower details above. Elizabeth and Hosea, some times Josea, Joyce had several children, including Walter Joyce.

In Section Four, below, which is the Descendants of Hugh Mahurin, notice that Ebenezer is Hugh's son, the first of the family born in America. Hugh is from Scotland or Northern Ireland. Hugh married Mary (Campbell?), of Northern Ireland. In that era, the English settled Scots to Ireland to colonize the plantations which took away Irish ownership of the land. These settlers helped push the native Irish off their land.
The Scots Irish, as these settlers were known, would spawn the main group that pushed Indigenous people westward in what would become the United States. In A Little Matter of Genocide, United States Cherokee and Professor Ward Churchill details this Scots Irish-Indigenous collision:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Matter_of_Genocide
As you read the Mahurin lineage, notice the westward migration of Mahurins over the generations.
My ancestors therefore include pilgrims who fled persecution in the British Isles for America, pilgrims who then persecuted Indigenous people in America. My ancestry also includes Scots sent to persecute the Irish, and Scots Irish who persecuted Indigenous people in America.
Someone once joked with me that, when you see two birds fighting in the air, look for an Englishman, because he started them fighting. The common English man gained little from this, however, because the elites set people against one another for the elites' own gains; but people eking out a living sometimes unite against the elites that profit from neighbor fighting neighbor. In 1649, the Diggers of England united to defend their land from enclosure by elites who preferred sheep to people on that land. Listen to radical English singer Billy Bragg sing of this resistance, in his song "The World Turned Upside Down:"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwQwA_kFxoE
So have Section Four, Descendants of Hugh Mahurin, which inserts Bathsheba Joyce, the Mayflower descendant, into the Mahurin lineage, my lineage. Generation No. 2, below, notes that Bathsheba is a Mayflower descendant. Reading that fact led me to find the Mayflower and Family Search websites to connect the Mayflower and me, and you if you are my relative. Numbers beside and above the text make this easier to understand.

Notes for Hugh Mahurin:
[By: Francis H. Huron]
Hugh Mahurin was granted land at Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1692/93, and died there, May 1718. His children and grandchildren intermarried with several other early families of Bristol and Plymouth counties. Among his descendants at least eleven were soldiers in the American Revolution; many were genuine pioneers on the frontiers of northern New England, New Jersey, and southern and middle-western states as the colonial population expanded.

2665.Olive Annie9 Bender (Ada8 Mahurin, Stephen Keith7, William Harmon6, Stephen (Steven)5, Silas4, Stephen3, Ebenezer2, Hugh1) was born November 11, 1906 in White Bird,
Idaho.She married Marvel Raymond Nasby
1928. Marvel was born June 16, 1903 (a year to the day before
Bloomsday, the one-day setting of Irish writer James Joyce's novel Ulysses)
in Chilicothe, Illinois, he used to say. An internet search put
Chilicothe in Indiana. Marvel had Norwegian ancestors. Olive and
Marvel migrated from the United States to Canada as children, with their
families. Contrary to what I read on this website, Olive, nor Marvel,
died on February 18, 1951, in Edson, Alberta (AB), Canada. Marvel died on
January 10, 1994 in Edson.
Children of Olive Bender and Marvel Nasby, the first two born in Cessford, AB, Canada, before the 1930s drought drove many people from the plains, the rest in Edson, AB, Canada, about 300 miles to the northwest, are:

On January 5, 1950, Irene married James Joseph
Wynne in Edson, AB, Canada. He went by Joe. Joe was born on
September 30, 1919, in Quesnel, British Columbia (BC), Canada, of Harold
Joseph Wynne and Mary Ann (Irvine) Wynne. Harold, known as Harry, was
born in or near Sherbrooke, Quebec (QC), Canada, in 1882 of Joseph, 37, and Mary, 34, both Irish-born, according to the 1891 Richmond County, Quebec Census. It seems that Joseph married twice, the second time to Eleanor O'Borne, Harry's mother noted on Harry (Wynn) and Mary Irvine's August 14, 1918 York, Ontario wedding record.
Mary was born in Enniskillen, Ireland on November 11, 1879. Harry
died in 1943 in Edmonton, AB, Mary in 1960 in Edson, AB, Irene on July 7,
1980 in Edmonton, AB. and Joe on September 29, 1989 in Edson, AB. Joe's sister, Eleanor Mary Margaret Wynne,
"Nellie," (b Kamloops, BC, June 3, 1924, d Edmonton, AB 1985), neither
married nor had children.
Military: In 1916, a doctor refused Harry for war service. "Your heart is bad. You'll be lucky to live six months," the doctor said. Harry lived until 1943. Military: In 1940, Joe enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy in Victoria, Canada. He was a Stoker, Second Class in the North Atlantic Ocean during World War Two. He traveled on corvettes, motor torpedo boats, and destroyers, escorting troop and supply ships across the ocean to England and Scotland. Some supplies continued to Archangel and Murmansk, in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), Canada's and England's wartime ally. Joe's name is on a plaque in St. Joseph's Catholic High School in Edmonton, Canada, commemorating students who went to the war. By the time of his enlistment, Joe was working for the Alberta Provincial Government in Edmonton. His name is on a plaque in the legislature in Edmonton, commemorating civil servants who went to the war. The Royal Canadian Legion, Joe Wynne Branch 51, in Edson, Alberta is named to honor Joe. Children of Irene Marie Nasby and James Joseph Wynne, all born in Edson, AB, are
Harold
James, born 1951
Lorraine Marie, born 1952
Jeannette
Louise, (1956-83)
Michael
Joseph, born 1961
Maryanne
Simone, born 1964
Note: Maryanne Simone acquired Irish
Republican citizenship and an Irish passport in 2013-14 and emigrated to
Europe. She proved descent from her namesake granny, Mary Ann.
The Irish Republic grants citizenship to children and grandchildren of
citizens. The United Kingdom, which rules Northern Ireland, grants
citizenship only to children, not grandchildren of citizens. Although
Mary Ann was born in what is now Northern Ireland, it was all the colony of
Ireland in 1879. The Republic recognizes her as Irish, not
British. Centuries after Hugh Mahurin left Ireland, there is now a
newly-Irish descendant.

The key I found to unlock this complexity was Bathsheba Joyce (1692/3-1755), wed to Ebenezer Mahurin, of the second generation, above. Bathsheba's ancestor was Mayflower passenger John Howland. The text above misspells that as "descendent." It also says that Marvel died in 1951. Olive died in 1951. Marvel died in 1994. Despite this and other mistakes, I think the information reliably links me to Bathsheba.
What made me research this was Dorothy Ada
(Nasby) Balderson, my aunt, above. During our annual Christmas phone
conversation in December, 2015, Dorothy said she had Mahurin ancestors. It was the first time I heard that name. Dorothy said that Ron Mahurin of Idaho (b 1946, I found out), visited
Dorothy's Beiseker, Alberta farm a few years ago. She said he left ancestry notes with her. I found the Mahurin lineage online. It noted Mayflower descendant Bathsheba married to Ebenezer Mahurin, Dorothy's ancestor. Should I have named our daughter Bathsheba, not
Chelsea?
My sister Maryanne recently added poetic unity to this ancestry. She acquired Irish citizenship because our dad's mom was born in Ireland. Our mom had an Irish-born ancestor, Mary (Campbell?), an ethnic Scot if Campbell was her name, a recent surprise to me. Maryanne therefore completes two-generation and a multi-generation circles back to Ireland. My and Carla's marriage completes a Welsh circle. Carla has ancestors from Wales. Her tribal council has traced that lineage. My dad's mom had an English surname, Irvine. She married a Canadian, Harold Joseph Wynne, born of Irish immigrants. Wynne is a Welsh name. My spouse and I therefore both have Welsh ancestors. Where is the name Wynne from? In May, 2015, my sisters Lorraine and Maryanne generously bought me passage to and around the British Isles, where Maryanne lived from 2014-2016. Maryanne and I stayed in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, for a few nights. Enniskillen is fewer than 40 kilometres from Brookeborough. We saw this village which our dad's mom Mary Irvine left to emigrate to Canada in 1916, exactly a century ago. In an ancestry book in the Enniskillen public library, I read about the 1642, I think, migration from Wales to Fermanagh, Granny's county, of a Welsh policeman named Wynne. Wynne is Grandpa Harry's, not Granny Mary's name, so this Welsh Wynne is probably not our ancestor. Or is he? I don't know. In the 1640s, the English sent many Scots, Welsh, and probably English to support the plantation system that colonized Ireland. It seems that our ancestors are more migrants to than indigenous people of Ireland: Irvine is and English name and Wynne is a Welsh name. Indigenous Irish, however, adopted non-Irish names; but I don't have enough information to see what, if any Indigenous Irish ancestry I have. Regardless, after a few generations, many plantation colonists of Ireland, like those of the 1200s, 400 years before, considered themselves more Irish than anything else. Many Irish critical of English rule have been Protestant, the same religion as that of the colonists who came after Protestantism rose in England in the 1500s: Jonathan Swift, the writer and Dublin Church of Ireland cathedral dean in the early-1700s; Wolf Tone, the lawyer who led the 1798 rebellion against English rule, and the George Bernard Shaw, the early-1900s writer and Nobel Literature prize winner. Our Irish Granny had a brother in the Royal Irish Constabulary, the English colonial police in Ireland, the model for Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police. When we fantasize that our ancestors were rugged rebels, we should pause and realize that they at least as likely collaborated with colonizers. Similarly, modern Indigenous people in Canada wax poetic about descent from anti-colonials, but they probably realize that their ancestors probably worked with colonizers. It's flattering to imagine one's ancestors fighting the colonizers and their local collaborators, but more fighters than collaborators died, especially in Ireland and America. The living, not the dead, produce descendants, our ancestors. Chelsea, my and Carla's daughter, justly ends this lineage. Carla is Indigenous, from the Chilcotin nation near Canada's Pacific Coast. In Part Three, above, I note that Scots helped push Irish from their land in Ireland, and that the resulting Scots Irish helped push Indigenous people from their land in America. Now the settlers have an Indigenous descendant. Long ago, my dad joked, "You might not want to know who your ancestors were. They might be highwaymen," that is, robbers. Perhaps his dad, and especially his mom, told him things he didn't want me to know. Perhaps my grandparents, whom I never met, knew things they didn't want Dad to know.
