- Notes:
- Of the Mayflower.
Biography from the Random House Encyclopedia, 1977:
American settler. b. England. A signer of the Mayflower Compact and organizer
of Plymouth Colony, he settled in Duxbury, Mass. in 1627. Traditionally, he is
known as the first Pilgrim to set foot on Plymouth Rock, and as the man who won
the hand of Priscilla Mullens after first wooing her for his friend, Miles
Standish, an event dramatized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "The
Courtship of Miles Standish." He wed Priscilla in 1625 and they had 11
children. He served as the governor's assistant (1623-41, 1650-86), twice
serving as deputy governor.
See also The Mayflower Descendant 9:129,193.
He was hired at Southampton by the Pilgrims to be a Cooper (he wasn't a
political refugee as were the other pilgrims).
Note: Zachariah Alden and Henry Alden have both been incorrectly identified
as sons of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. They were not.
Articles entitled "John Alden Theories on English Ancestry" are in Mayf.Des.
39:111-122, 40:133-136, by Alica Crane Williams.
Theories of parentage:
1. Son of George and Jane Alden, grandson of Richard and Avys Alden of
Southampton, England. William Bradford wrote that John Alden was hired at
Southampton, so this is the natural place to look, but no supporting evidence
for this theory has been found. The theory was put forth in "The English
Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers", 1929, by Charles Edward Banks. The
names George, Richard and Avys do not show up in John Alden's family, casting
further doubt on this theory.
2. Son of John Alden and Elizabeth Daye of Harwich, Essex Co., England,
grandson of John Alden and Elizabeth Russell, and great grandson of William
and Elizabeth Russell. A son of William & Elizabeth Russell married Sybil
Jones, who was the mother of Christopher Jones, the captain of the Mayflower.
This family was also a sea-faring family. This makes this one of the more
popular theories.
