Mayflower Frontier
My British grandparents Thomas and Susan Collier were American original descendants.
they sailed the rough sea for their independence
I believe they came on the mayflower voyage ship and landed in America 1620
I know their dreams for our generation were plenty
my first generation grandparents Thomas and Susan Collier were buried in Hingham Plymouth Massachusetts on this free soil
my grandfather Thomas death was 1647 and his wife Susan was 1667
the bible was American pilgrim law to own land that my family heritage toiled
everyone who came to America doesn't know they rode on the coat tail of our heritage and hard work today
our school used bible that were outlawed, and our new generation couldn't pray
our pilgrim lineage was documented in a bible as a passport
I doubt my Collier bloodline was in a May Flower compact before England's deport
The bible was law in England from 1530 and we dont know if it came to America by the first pilgrims
the natives told me the Spaniards from Columbus in 1492 brought the first bible in America and caused mayhem
