    I’m down! Apparently I’m one of 2 million descendants of john howland.

    Didn’t learn of this until I stopped being an arborist.

    These things are fun and worth hearing about.

      My understanding is that john fell off the mayflower and caught a rope, which saved him. Sounds like catching that rope wasn’t likely
