First Generation
John Alden was born about 1599.[1] According to Gov. Bradford's manuscript, Of Plimouth Plantation John Alden was "hired for a cooper, at South Hampton (England), where the ship victualed (brought on food for the voyage); and being a hopeful young man, was much desired, but left to his own liking to go or stay when he came here; but he stayed and married here."John 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)[2] 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. He & his wife Priscilla were presumably buried at the Miles Standish Burying Ground in Duxbury.[3]
John and Priscilla had ten children, six daughters & four sons (John, Joseph, Jonathan & David)
Second Generation
John Alden was named at the bottom of his family grouping in the May 1627 land division. This likely means he was born about this time in New Plimouth, before the family moved to Duxbury.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag. Futher SNP testing will refine the Haplogroup and define the Alden family clade.
- ↑ The year of his birth is inferred from a deposition made at Plymouth, 6 Jul 1682, in which he stated he was then aged 83.
- ↑ Some sources state they were married 12 May 1622 but the source for this date is not known.
- ↑ This was the only town cemetery at this time. It is remotely possible John & Priscilla may have been buried on their family farm.
