John Alden is believed to have been born about 1599. He was employed by the Mayflower company as a cooper (barrel-maker) and given the ability to decide whether he would remain with the colonists at New Plimouth or return to England with the ''Mayflower'' crew in 1621. John decided to stay at New Plimouth and married Priscilla Mullins (daughter of Mayflower passenger William Mullins). It is believed they were married prior to the 1623 land division (as Priscilla was not named and other single women were named in this division). The Alden family was one of the original settlers who moved away from the core Plymouth settlement. He died at Duxbury on 12 Sep 1687, being one of the last surviving Mayflower Passengers.
 
  
John and Priscilla had ten children, four sons & six daughters (Elizabeth, Sarah, Ruth, Rebecca, Mary & Priscilla {the last was not believed to have ever married}).

Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower Society<ref>https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mayflowersociety/default.aspx?section=ycolorized</ref> has suggested that the Alden lineage belongs to the Y haplogroup [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1b R1b-M269], which is quite common in Western Europe. The R1b predictor at [https://www.nevgen.org/ Nevgen.org] further refines this prediction to P312, but it is split between three of its major subclades (U152, DF27 & L21). ''Y Elite'' test results will be able to confirm this and place the Alden lineage more precisely within the broad R1b-P312 clade.
