Really? Can you reference that and what specifically was brought over here
as seed ?

Like another poster here, my ancestors were "pilgrims", but came over
later than the Mayflower. I read accounts from time to time of the
early days in the colonies. Caleb Johnson, also descended from
pilgrims, studies these things and has a few websites. A website
covering what we are discussing here is:

There aren't very many accounts of exactly what was brought over and
what was eaten in 1621, but some things are known from letters, etc.
