Some sources cite John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley as the Mother and Father of America because they may have the largest number of descendants in America, estimated to be over 400,000.
John Howland fell overboard during a storm at sea and was recused in the nick of time as reported by Governor Bradford in his "History of Plymouth Plantation". Howland's descendants include two U.S. Presidents. John's brother immigrated later and his descendants include two more U.S. Presidents. |
