partially done research. (The number of

John
Alden
Death
12 Sep 1687 in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA
American Colonial Figure. One of the
charter members of the Plymouth Colony in America, he arrived on the first
voyage of the "Mayflower". At the time of the sailing of the vessel
in 1620 for America, he was about twenty-one years old. William
Bradford, second governor of the colony, wrote that 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." His trade of cooper (barrel maker) was one of
the vital trades needed by the colonists. John married fellow Mayflower pilgrim
Priscilla
Mullins, about 1623, but the exact date has been lost to
history. He became one of the Purchasers and Undertakers for the colony,
serving also as Assistant in the Colony government, Deputy Governor, Colony
Treasurer, and a member of the committee in charge of revising laws. He was one
of the founders of Duxbury, Massachusetts, and owned several pieces of
property. Although he died without a will, an inventory of his property at the
time of his death was taken in November 1687. A legend of a rivalry between
himself and pilgrim Miles Standish for Priscilla
Mullins arose, and was first published in the book, "Collection of
American Epitaphs and Inscriptions" in 1814, by Timothy Alden. The story
was popularized by the poem, "The Courtship of Miles Standish" by Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow in 1858, however, there is no documentation of such a
rivalry to have existed in any of the records of the Plymouth Colony. (bio

American
Colonial Figure. One of the charter members of the Plymouth Colony, arriving on
the first voyage of the "Mayflower", her marriage to John Alden is
the third known marriage in the Plymouth colony. Born in Dorking, Surrey,
England, she was a young girl of 16 or 17 at the time of the sailing of the
Mayflower in 1620 for America, when she arrived with her parents. When her
parents died in the first winter ashore, in early 1621, a hard time when about
half of the colony perished, she chose to stay with the Pilgrims even though she
had a brother and sister surviving in England. Between the time of her parents'
deaths in 1621 and her marriage to John Alden about 1623, it is not known whom
she stayed with or how she survived. John married Priscilla Mullins about 1623,
but the exact date has been lost to history. A legend of a rivalry between John
Alden and pilgrim Miles Standish for Priscilla Mullins arose, and was first
published in the book, "Collection of American Epitaphs and
Inscriptions" in 1814, by Timothy Alden. The story was popularized by the

During the height of the witchcraft delusion, he was one of the accused. He was taken to jail in Salem, and managed to escape just before the execution of 9 of the victims
He was hidden out by relatives in Duxbury until the madness subsided, after which he turned himself in and was bound over to the Superior Court. When no one appeared to prosecute, he, along with some 150 others, was discharged by proclamation, and all judicial proceedings brought to a close..
