Orville and Wilbur Wright - my cousins with dedication and drive

While not a direct relationship, I found through "Relative Finder" that I'm cousins with Orville and Wilbur Wright.  I also just finished reading David McCullough's book, "The Wright Brothers", which I would highly recommend.  I knew the short school version of their flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but not much else.  These cousins were great examples of good throughout their lives.

10th Great Grandmother - Susanna White

In honor of Mother's Day, I offer this short story on my 10th Great Grandmother, Susanna Jackson White Winslow, who was a Mayflower passenger and had several "firsts" in her life -
                  -Mother of the first English-born child in America
                  -First bride at an English wedding in America
                  -The First Lady of the Plymouth Colony
                  -Mother of the first American-born governor of an American Colony
