Mayflower Descendant – Mabel Lora Cheney

The 400th Anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower is in 2020…and it’s true!  Mabel Lora Cheney is a direct descendant of several Mayflower passenger pilgrims!

          William Bradford

          Thomas Rogers

          William Mullins and his wife, whose name is unknown

          Priscilla Mullins

          John Alden

          (Longfellow’s poem, “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” is about Priscilla Mullins, John Alden and Miles Standish)

Mabel’s lineage is documented and proven through the Society of Mayflower Descendants.  All of Mabel’s children, as well as their direct descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.), are also direct descendants of the Mayflower passenger pilgrims named above.  If you are one of them, you are eligible for membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants by proving your connection to Mabel (through birth certificates and other documentation).  But whether or not you care about joining a society or getting a nice certificate, you are a direct descendant of ALL the Mayflower passengers listed (as well, quite possibly, of others who have not yet been fully documented).

Here is the proven Mayflower lineage of Mabel Lora Cheney, starting with William Bradford, Mayflower passenger and Governor of Plymouth Colony.

— Governor William Bradford and his wife, Alice Carpenter Southworth, had son William Bradford (born 1624).

— William Bradford married Alice Richards, had son Samuel Bradford.

— Samuel Bradford married Hannah Rodgers (daughter of John Rodgers and Elizabeth Pabodie…both also descendants of Mayflower passengers), and had daughter Wealthea Bradford.

In addition, Mabel’s husband, William Harvey Inlow, is a proven and documented descendant of Revolutionary War soldier, James Scott of Virginia.  Both Mabel and W.H. have multiple other Revolutionary War ancestors.  More about that another time.
