Landing in New England

This account of the Pilgrims landing is by grandpa William Bradford in November 1620.
Plimoth Plantation
About ten a clocke we came into a deepe Valley, full of brush, wood-gaile, and long grasse, through which were found little paths or tracts, and there we saw a Deere, and found Springs of fresh Water, of which we were hartily glad, and sat us downe and drunke our first New England Water, with as much delight as ever we drunke drinke in all our lives.

When we had refreshed ourselves, we directed our course full South, that wee might come to the shoare, which within a short while after we did, and there made a fire, that they in the Ship might see where we were (as wee had direction) and so marched on towards this supposed River: and as we went in another Valley, we found a fine cleere Pond of fresh water, being about a Musket shot broad, and twice as long: there grew also many small Vines, and Fowle and Deere haunted there; there grew much Sasafras: from thence we went on and found much plain ground about fiftie Acres, fit for the Plow, and some signes where the Indians had formerly planted their Corne: after this, some thought it best for nearnesse of the River to goe downe and travaile on the Sea sands, by which meanes some of our men were tired, and lagged behinde, so we stayed and gathered them up, and strucke into the Land againe; where we found a little path to certaine

Allen, James, comp. Joshua Perry of Granville, Bute & Warren Counties, North Carolina, Rocky Mount, NC, Allen, 1999.
The purpose of this research is to provide historical and genealogical information about Joshua Perry, who came to North Carolina from (probably) Virginia in the 1740s. The data presented herein as accurate as I could make it, but I realize that there are errors and omissions. Therefore, I urge extreme caution when using and citing this report. 
This report is constructed as a research tool, and a beginning point for others conducting genealogical research. . . . It has been said by authorities in the field that genealogical compilations such as this one should never be cited without verifying that original sources are correct. I agree completely with this philosophy. Whenever possible, primary documents rather than secondary sources should be consulted. 
My research and that of others has failed to find a single primary source that

Ahnentafel #65 - (--?--)

(--?--)  - back track to Generation 7

Born: ca. 1755, probably in Connecticut
Died: after 1793? probably in Vermont or Canada

Buried: unknown

Married: Elkanah Lathrop by 1774

I'm starting to look into the Armon family based on the naming conventions and the fact that the first son is named Armon.  Also the possibility that her first name was Hannah based on the fact that the only known daughter is named Hannah.

Another possibility is that Elkanah had two wives.  The second being a Russell as that is a surname and it is not a name that is in the family before this time.
