[FWDLK] Plymouth Name Origin

[Wayne Graefen <wrgraefen@A-OMEGA.NET>]

A friend is trying to research the origin of the Plymouth name.
So far he has come up with the following:

"I found it in an editorial in USA Today.  It said the name came
from an industrial strength "farmers" twine that had Plymouth in
the name.  Walter Chrysler said that every "plowboy" knew what
Plymouth twine was and how strong it was.  Chrysler was a former
"plowboy" himself."

There is another version about the pilgrims landing at Plymouth
in Don Butler's Crestline book "Plymouth and DeSoto".

Any others out there?  Curious to know the REAL story.
