Mayflower passenger Priscilla Mullins is my 2nd cousin, 12 times removed.
Priscilla Mullins was born about 1603 and died between 1651 and September 12, 1687, the date of her husband’s death. She had been a passenger on the Mayflower with her parents and her brother Joseph, and only she survived after their deaths in 1621. She married Mayflower cooper John Alden before 1623 and had eleven children. The only proven descendants of William Mullins living today are descended from Priscilla.[6]

Blog about family history or genealogy and human interest stories. All of the Josephs were prospectors and I have decided to make that a theme in this blog.

Mining Activity near Woodside Utah.
MATERIAL RESOURCES
__________
Peter Petersen and Felix Pressit, two long time residents of Woodside came over Sunday to lay in a few fall provisions. Besides being a fine agricultural and horticultural section, said Mr. Pressit to the Progress man, Woodside boasts of some good mineral. Of course all the surrounding country is staked off as oil land and experts tell us that the indications for striking flowing oil wells are as good as any place in Utah. However we have copper and silver and ex-Sheriff Harvey Hardy of Salt Lake has resumed work on his Mayflower and Sheep Ranch mining claims some 11 miles west of us. He has a shaft down on one of these claims over 100 feet deep and has opened up a vein showing good ore. He says the showing is very pleasing and that development work is to be continued. My brother Louis has interested some eastern capitalists in an adjoining property to Hardy's and called the Mammoth. He has opened up a long vein carrying high grade galena ore. Three miles east of Woodside Messrs Peer and Ensign are opening up one of the finest seams of coal in Emery County. They are in about 65 feet on the vein which shows a body of high grade coal 10 feet thick.
