My goodness! Is this a Mayflower Traveller or a baby of those who did? He was born in 1620, which is sounding like he came here in that era when he was into childhood or adulthood. And it's really impressive, if this is accurate, for someone born four hundred years ago (and died more than three hundred years past) to have lived to 89 years of age. Not everyone today might make it to four-score and ten; my Nan lived to be 94, and her Mum to be just past that at 96, in our modern day with modern medicine and good and enough food and clothing to be counted on. My Mum is just past eighty, and I'll be overjoyed if she's with me and my brothers for another ten years in good health.
