The intention was to remember these Pilgrims who established Plymouth Colony in what was then called the northern part of Virginia. Today there are tensofmillions of individuals descended from these brave souls. It is the goal of The Mayflower Society and the South Carolina Society of Mayflower Descendants to join together people who share this heritage and to carry on the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors.
