SUMMARY:History Lovers Come Face to Face with a Fearless Woman
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM\nYou will be enthralled with this historical first-person interpretation. Step back to the year 1650 and meet Priscilla Mullins Alden. She will tell you of the 30 years that have passed since she set foot in the New World. Arriving on the Mayflower\, the Mullin’s family and John Alden came to pursue new opportunities in a new land. They were not separatists who sailed away from their homes seeking religious freedom. Priscilla married John Alden three years after the British merchant ship Mayflower arrived in 1620 to establish the Plymouth Colony. The last time Mrs. Alden is mentioned in any written document is in 1651.When John Alden died in 1687\, he was the last surviving signer of the Mayflower Compact. Descendants of John and Priscilla Alden comprise one of the largest groups of Mayflower descendants living today. They had ten children and 69 grandchildren. \n\n\nSPEAKER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDenise Bennett is a first and second generation American. For more than 25 years she has researched her genealogy\, even traveling to Ireland and Scotland to conduct family research. Despite her descent from such recent immigrants\, she can trace her lineage in America back to the American Revolution as well as to the third ship\, the Anne\, that arrived in Plymouth\, Massachusetts in 1623. Her husband can trace his ancestry to several of the Pilgrims who sailed to America on the Mayflower. \nA member of the Lady Washington chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution\, Denise serves as the Texas Chair of the TXDAR Speaker Staff. She has been accepted into ten lineage societies\, including Colonial Dames 17th Century. Her applications are some of the most international of applications. In her first three generations\, she has proof documents requiring translations in three different languages – German\, Spanish and Old Persian. \nDenise is a lifelong volunteer. She enjoys creating historical first-person interpretations\, which require considerable research into every component of the bygone women she portrays. Currently\, Denise has presented at least one persona for every century of American history.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n
