Society of Mayflower Descendants
in
South Carolina
Organized August 11, 1938 at Greenville, South Carolina
More than one hundred years ago, a group of descendants of the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, saw the need for a national society to honor their memory. The intention was to remember these Pilgrims who established Plymouth Colony, in what was then called the northern part of Virginia.
Today there are tens-of-millions 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.
