Just want to mention that good genealogy practice dictates one works their
tree from the bottom up, starting with themselves, and not trying to find a
"descent" from a Mayflower passenger. Good documentation is important, but
start with your parents, then grandparents etc. and work higher. If you
find yourself up higher to a Mayflower line, great. But beware of working
too hard to prove your line coming DOWN. I have many years of experience
in genealogy.

Dear David,
Totally plausible and, if you can document descent from the Sixth Generation of either Chilton or Rogers, highly likely. The early generations of Mayflower descendants didn't move much, so there was a lot of intermarriages. When documenting one line, you can find yourself branching off to another Mayflower ancestry. I have Hopkins-Cooke-Doty descent just because of marriages within the first three generations.
By Sixth Generation, I am referring to the formally proven lines of descent as documented in the so-called Silver Books. These are published by the General Mayflower Society, and are available in hardcover at most major research institutions. Google for the Society's website. I suspect even the Bodleian would have copies now, but there are several private research libraries in London that do so.
When you read the book, follow the Aaron Simmons (Gen. 4) descent for the next two generations, then document your descent from that Sixth Generation child. You can then request an application from either the Ohio society or from the General Society, fill it in, and then contact the Ohio State Mayflower Historian for a review before submitting it. The types of documentation necessary are spelled out in the application guide.
For general application questions, go to the Rootsweb Mayflower board and search for replies from Susan E. Roser, Canadian Historian. She monitors that board and consults on applications.
Best wishes.

Hello,
I have recently begun to look into my ancestry, and find on the LDS web site that I am descended from the Chiltons:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/AF/pedigree_view.asp?recid=4120303...
I have noticed that there are sometimes doubtful/optimistic links included in some of these pages, so I wonder if anybody can comment on the reliability of the link. It suggests that we are related via daughter Isabella (d. 1615), and her husband Roger Chandler. Then via Simmons.
According to LDS, I am also descended from Thos. Rogers, but I think this is quite doubtful.
It would be nice to be a Mayflower descendant, but how plausible is it?

A follow-up on my previous message:
I found the Texas death certificate for Ella Burton Battle which confirms that Richard Ellis Chilton is the father and the mother is Susan Pace.
It appears that she must have died in childbirth of the previous mentioned premature birth of twins on 27 Feb 1920. The death certificate lists high blood pressure and cerebral hemorage as cause of death. It lists Oak Cliff Cemetery as burial place.
The Registration Dist. #4951
Registered # 557.
Hope this all will be helpful in your family search.

There is a Ella Chilton in the 1900 census, Dalla, TX in the household of Richard E. Chilton (b. Tenn) and wife Susan A. (b. MO) Also in the household is son James W. age 32, daughter and son-in-law Etta and Jefferson Tennison with daughter Mildred.
At familysearchlabs.org record search there is also two death certificates from Texas showing Ella B Chilton as the mother of premature babies (James Battle & Henry Battle) who died shortly after birth in 1920.
So am wondering if you should be looking for Richard instead of Robert as the father of Ella B. Chilton?
