[quote:Anonymous Coward 7962679:MV8xOTM1MjQ0XzMyNDE1ODA5X0E5RjUwNThG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1215947:MV8xOTM1MjQ0XzMyNDE1NDc0XzkxMUYxNjkx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 14408911:MV8xOTM1MjQ0XzMyNDE1NDMxXzg1MTkyNzFB] Except that he was adopted by the Holmes', so what is his true geneology. [/quote] He was adopted? Didn't know that. Who is his adopted father? Regardless, he comes from a privileged background. [/quote] Why do you say that he comes from a privileged background? Like the poster above said, millions of Americans are descended from the Mayflower (although I'm not sure it is as high as 50M). One of my ancestors was born in Plymouth in 1623 and I don't have a privileged background. We were middle-middle class, and my parents were at most a step higher than their parents had been. When the late John Chaffee was Senator from Rhode Island, he once said he was a descendent of Roger Williams, seeming to imply that he held office almost by birthright. A reporter responded in print saying probably half of the people in Rhode Island could claim descent from Roger Williams. I too can claim such descent but live in Georgia. [/quote]
Original Message
The Daily Beast is reporting that alleged Colorado movie massacre madman James Holmes, originally from San Diego, had relatives that came over on the Mayflower. Holmes paternal grandmother, Mayflower descendants Mary Jane Crawford Holmes, represents a proud lineage stretching back to the original Pilgrims.
