Orpha's Mayflower Ancestors

 

"Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many...." 

                                                                 William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth Colony

Orpha's ancestral roots run deep into American history--all the way back to the very beginning with the pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. This year marks the 400th anniversary of that momentous occasion. Orpha's Mayflower ancestors come through her maternal grandparents, Arza Adams and Sabina Clark, as follows, with their relationship to Orpha listed below the name. Each name is linked to a website with information about each person.
