Novemeber 9, 1620 – December 25, 1620:

As the Mayflower approached land, the crew spotted Cape Cod just as the sun rose on November 9.  The Pilgrims decided to head south, to the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, where they intended to make their plantation.  However, as the Mayflower headed south, it encountered some very rough seas, and nearly shipwrecked.  The Pilgrims then decided, rather than risk another attempt to go south, they would just stay and explore Cape Cod.  They turned back north, rounded the tip, and anchored in what is now Provincetown Harbor.  The Pilgrims would spend the next month and a half exploring Cape Cod, trying to decide where they would build their plantation.  On December 25, 1620, they had finally decided upon Plymouth, and began construction of their first buildings.

John Whitman (1598 – 1692) was a Puritan Emigrant in the 1620-1640 wave… some say he is Ensign John emigrating in 1638. His brother was Zachariah Whitman (1595 – 1666) who settled in…. Connectivity of Royal Emerson Whitman to Walt Whitman was Zachariah Whitaman, John and Willliam Whitman, all sons of Abijah Whitman and Alice (Eaton) Whitman…  Yes, that is the point of connection of the Royal Emerson to Walt.
