Today we're going to be taking a tour of one of the oldest cemeteries of Colonial America. Founded in the 1600's, Yarmouth MA is a town with a rich history dating back to the time of the first English settlers (Pilgrims) who sat at the first Thanksgiving table with the local Native American Tribe of Indians. We will also spot a WW1 headstone and a public tomb from the 1800's all while exploring this amazing old graveyard.

Thank you for finding Thankful Hallet, a distant cousin of mine. Her 3rd great grandparents, John and Elizabeth Howland, are my 10th great grandparents. They were passengers on the Mayflower. You also found Joseph Hawes, another distant cousin of mine. His 2nd great grandparents are John and Elizabeth Howland. Joseph is Thankful's 2nd cousin once removed.

@@danielschmude Howland is big in New Bedford, MA and Fairhaven, MA. Good starting point would probably be to visit the New Bedford, MA and Fairhaven, MA historical societies. Also may want to check Fall River, MA. Influencial family in that area. Interesting to note, if you start looking in Rhode Island, state lines changed and it can be tricky. Please let me know if I can be of assistance, as I'm originally from the area. My ancestors arrived later, 1631.

⚫It is wonderful to be present exactly in the places. Where you know for a absolute certainty. The tough courageous people stood centuries ago. Looking at the exact same marker. The fact that they took the time to have a funeral at all. Was a testament to their Love and courage. When survival meant continuous back breaking labor. Brutal deaths at much earlier age, and constant loss.⚫

I live in a small town south of Boston MA, there's a very old cemetery in our town as well that I walk often. It's still in use but in the original section there are burials dating back to the early 1700's and some stones that are older but are no longer readable. These cemeteries are like history books, some of the stones tell great stories. It's also sad when you look at the recent graves that are still visited and tended to by family and then the old ones that aren't because everyone who knew those people are also long gone. Their graves are maintained by the groundskeepers but no one has visited them in a very long time.

Dude you have to go to St. Augustine, Fl. You could probably do like 10 videos. Its the oldest town in America, colonized almost 200 years before the US was founded. Theres a huge Spanish fort there called the Castillo De San Marcos built in 1668. Theres a great pirate museum, a medieval torture museum, the Villa Zorayda built in 1883 based on the Moorish Alhambra Palace in Spain. The Old Jail built 1891 by the same company that built Alcatraz prison. There's Native American historical places, the lady de la leche church which was the location of the first Catholic Mass held in the United states. So much more I can't think of right now but it would be tons of wonderful content. Look up the places I mentioned!

The Mayflower didn't land at Plymouth Rock. The Pilgrims first went ashore on the other side of Cape Cod Bay at what became Province Town. They spent a few weeks there before reboarding the Mayflower and setting out and ending up at the Plymouth Rock site. They did some far out crap at Province Town - chasing natives, robbing native burial sites and stealing native food stores. It wasn't as bad as it sounds but it wasn't all together wholesome either.
