INTRODUCTION.
In the following pages an attempt is made to bring into order the details
of descent of two of the lines of the posterity of John Alden, the Pilgrim.
Mainly they are a record of our researches, and of the labor of our many
friendly helpers. There can be no question of the value and the necessity
of such work as this, even if imperfectly done, if it is once conceded that
it is worth while to preserve records of descent; and one who attempts to
follow any line of our family in the first two hundred years, when there
were few Plymouth or Bristol County towns in which a John or Joseph or
David or Ebenezer did not live, and in some more than one at the same
time, will need all the light that he can get from any source in arriving at
the truth as to the parentage of a given person. It is useless for us to
regret that this record of a sister and brother is in double form, and that
some of the facts connected with their common ancestors are stated more
than once in the historical sketch that precedes the matter comprehended
under the title-page. The daily duties of each have left too little time for
even this result, and the genealogist who uses our work must exercise what
patience he can with the repetitions. To the descendants of either the
duplications of fact will seem less vexatious.
This double plan of work, by which each of us becomes solely responsible
for his work, does not extend to the arrangement of the order of statement,
in which a plan which seemed on the whole the least objectionable has
been adopted. Each Alden mentioned will be distinguished by an Arabic
numeral before the name, and the relationship to the immediate ancestor
will be shown by the number of that ancestor after the name.
Errors excepted, in the index will be found the name of every Alden de-
scendant who appears in the text, and of the husband or wife of each, but
not of the parents of such husband or wife.
In closing this labor of filial love and devotion, which has involved car-
riage rides to most of the old towns, the reading of many records, the re-
moval of the moss and accumulated turf from memorial stones, and listen-
ing to the stories of those aged ones who are hastening to join those whose
memory we seek to perpetuate, we lay down the pleasing burden in the
hope that in some degree we shall seem to the reader to have served faith-
fully the cause in which we are interested.

ALDEN HISTORY.
It will not be without interest to the student who is not familiar
with the facts connected with the earlier generations of the Aldens
to pass in review, in a brief manner, some of the known events occur-
ring in the lives of those from whom we are descended ; and that
course seems the more necessary because the records of some of the
most important to us are not known to have been printed before. To
this review of the events mentioned, we subjoin, for convenience in
reference, in the second part the names of the children born in the
earlier generations, as usually printed, though we follow in detail
only our own line.
John Alden, the Pilgrim, was about twenty-one years old when he (
landed ; and President John Adams, descended from him through his
daughter Ruth, says he was the first stripling to land on Plymouth
Rock. He was the last to die of those who signed the civil compact
which began in America government for the people, by the people ;
and our ancestor is thus the personal representative of the beginning
and the end of the Pilgrim colonization.
There is no evidence that he was at first by education or convic-
tion in sympathy with the views or the sufferings that drove the Pil-
grims into exile. In the meetings at Scrooby or the dwelling at
Leyden he had no part ; nor is it probable that until he came into
direct personal association with the exiles during their lonely voyage,
and learned to estimate at their true value the lofty principle and un-
selfish consecration to duty which lay at the foundation of the move-
ment, that he was drawn to identify himself with it.
The evidence of Governor Bradford is conclusive on this point,
and Arber's book places Alden first among the five hired men who
went out with the company in the "Mayflower." Bradford says,
"John Alden was hired for a cooper at Southampton where the ship
victualled, and being a hopeful young man (likely, promising, we
should say), was much desired, but left to his own liking, to go or
stay, when he came here, but he stayed, and married here."
So it was a case of good seed falling by happy providence in fruit-
6 ALDEN GENEALOGY
ful soil, and bringing forth a hundred-fold in present honor and future
prosperity and happiness.
The hiring of John Alden was a renewed evidence that the founders
of the Colony, who already had secured the services of Myles Stand-
ish, a man so little identified with them that some have doubted
whether he was even a Protestant, recognized the fact that one who
would keep the hoops on the water-casks in good order was as
essential to the success of the voyage as Governor Carver or Elder
Brewster, and, like practical statesmen, provided for the temporal as
well as for the spiritual needs of the company.
In the cool and cautious commendation of Bradford, which gives
warrant for no belief in any great social advancement of the " hope-
ful " young man, it is impossible to read one hint of the fact that in
little more than twenty years Alden was one of seven, all writing
" gentleman " as a proper indication of their social position, who
were chosen to negotiate the settlement of difficulties with the Puritan
Colony, and that during all the rest of his long and busy life he was
Deputy (representative) in the Court of the Colony, or Assistant to
the Governor, who thus mentions him.
It may not be far from truth to guess that the social space that
at first separated Bradford, who was more than any other the financial
and business head of the Colony, and his hired man, with the rapid
promotion of the latter, so that in seven years he was next the Gov-
ernor in rank and power, with the natural antipathy between the king
and the heir-apparent, fairly accounts for the omission.
Perhaps those who wish to believe that John Alden was entitled to
a coat-of-arms may derive some confirmation of their theory from the
fact that in 1643, as above written, he is called "gentleman" ; but,
as we know nothing in history or genealogy that connects him with
that John Alden of the Middle Temple to whom on Sept. 8, 1607,
Camden, herald-at-arms, adjudged a coat-of-arms " Gules, Three
Crescents within a border engrailed ermine by the name of Alden,"
we shall have to allow that the probability of our ancestor stepping
on board the " Mayflower " with his cooper's adze in one hand and his
coat-of-arms in the other is too small to entitle it to consideration.
Much more pleasing to the pride of a rational mind is the knowl-
edge that in an age when good men and even mild men did, and
verily thought they ought to do, acts that every one now condemns,
there is no record of our ancestor as a persecutor, or as having any
part in the awful delusion that darkened the closing years of his
century.
ALDEN HISTORY ' 7
With all the diligence at our command we have not been able to
add anything to what is already known of John Alden and Priscilla,
though the Mayflower Descendant lately printed the inventory of his
estate, or of Joseph and Mary (Simmons). Even their burial-places
are unknown to us, though it may well be that the tradition that
places the grave of Priscilla by the side of that of her daughter,
EUzabeth Pabodie, at Little Compton, R.I., is true.
Perhaps the one feature in the history of his ancestors which the
thoughtful descendant of the Pilgrims remembers with the least pleas-
ure is the relation of the immigrants to those whom they found in
possession of the country. It is no settlement of the question of fair
title to say that they fairly paid for what they got ; for the use which
the buyers were to make of the land was so different from that which
the sellers had made or could make that it was only when experience
showed the latter how much more than the mere right to cultivate the
soil they had sold had been conveyed, and how they could no longer
cross over it to reach their fishing places, that the irrepressible conflict
was manifest.
With waning power and always diminishing resources the red men
fought out the battle, and there was peace when the whites at last
had them cooped in definite reservations or lying in unmarked graves.
To know that among the conquering invaders there was one with
purpose so just and mind so equitable that the weak might trust their
cause with him, and so grounded in the respect of his own people that
his opinions would command obedience, is to be sure that such a man
was. one from whom all good men would be glad to claim descent,
and official records show that our ancestor was that man. The
paper which follows may be found in the Plymouth Colony Deeds,
vol. ii. p. 41, and has already been printed in Mayflower Descend-
ant, vol. ii. p. 31 : —
Whereas a difference hath arisen between the Inhabitants off Sand-
widge and the Sachem off Manomett and other Indians conserning a
Tract of upland called quitnite the said Sachem with the Rest having
chosen Miles Standish senior and John Alden senior ; and the said
Townsmen of Sandwidge haveing chosen Robert Dennis of Yarmouth
and John Smith of Barnstable to arbitrate and fully to conclude and
end the aforesaid differences ; all the said pties of Sandwidge and the
said Sachem haveing given full power to end and conclude all
Differences between the said pties Difering for any matter of Land.
Wee therefore haveing waighed the arguments on both sides accord-
ing to our best understanding have ; all the pties that is to say. Miles

cluded all the said Differences conserning the land off quitnite as fol-
loweth ;

taining to the Towne of Sandwidge except the foremencioned twenty

cluded that the said Indians make a sufficient ffence at their own
Dammage ; and that the said Sachem shall for himself and all other
Indians that shall Resort to him ; shall undertake for him and them
that neither hee or any such Indians that they shall not Damnifye the
said Townsmen of Sandwidge by kiUing or hunting any such cattle as
they shall att any time put upon the said necke : and in case any
cattle be hurt or killed by the Indians upon due proofe the aforesaid
Sachem shall make the Dammage good ; and that there may be
naighborly agreement between the said Indians and the Townsmen of
Sandwidge Alsoe It is concluded by the said Miles Standish John
Alden Robert Dennis and John Smith that the said Sachem and all
that appertaine to him or Resort unto him shall not hunt or chase the
cattle of the towne of Sandwidge ; And if the said Sachem shall see any
cattle of the EngUsh in any danger the Sachem shall prsently give
notice to some man or men of the Towne of Sandwidge.

In addition to such service as this the Plymouth Records show
many instances in which his neighbors had the benefit of his counsel
in adjusting conflicting claims, and in restoring harmony and good
will between brothers and friends who disagreed as to bounds and
rights. In those days, when the office sought the man so strenuously
that a fine followed non-acceptance, it might lead to a false conclusion
to infer personal character from continuous official position, but the
evidence of these suffrages of fellow-townsmen and neighbors cannot
be misinterpreted.
A little more than sixty years after his death a Quincy rhymester,
ALDEN HISTORY 9
whose excellent commendation of our ancestor will somewhat recon-
cile us to his doggerel, had occasion to sing the eulogy of Alden's
grand-daughter Sarah Thayer, lately dead : —
Her grandfather he was a man who did the truth reveal,
And to defend Christ's kingdom great he burned with holy zeal.
Like holy Abraham of old left land and kindred all,
And wandering up and down he went wherever God did call.
From old England he did come o'er where heathen did possess
For to enjoy religion pure, and God this man did bless.
And made him once a ruler here, let's not forget his fame.
He lived above the age of man, John Alden was his name.
This is definite and direct, spoken to men who must have known
the man ; and so we may take it as conclusive that when, as the
seventh signer of the civil compact, he identified himself with the
colonists who were to make him Governor's Assistant for forty-three
years, and thirteen years Treasurer of the Colony, he was not, as at
first, with them only, but of them.
His Duxbury home was at Eagle-Tree Pond, some two miles north
of Captain's Hill, and eight from Plymouth.
The line of his descendants to which we belong is easily remem-
bered by the alternation John', Joseph-, John^, Joseph*.
It is known that Joseph Alden, son of John the Pilgrim, lived on
the Bridgewater land granted to his father, which land lay near the
building of the Historical Society in the present town of West Bridge-
water. The burying-ground in use in the latter part of the seven-
teenth century was on the south-westerly side of the street on which
the Historical Society building stands, and is included in the estate
of the late Francis Howard, Esq. ; but no fragment of a stone or
depression in the surface of the smooth lawn around the memorial
stone which marks the centre of the grant gives any evidence of the
undoubted fact that the first settlers were buried there.
It is with profound satisfaction, when one leaves the foggy land of
tradition and distorting half- knowledge, where "it is said " and " we
may believe " and the like phrases usurp the place of truth, to stand
upon the firm rock of knowledge. Such a change we experience in
passing from the second to the third generation, and thereafter we
rely on recorded documents and on other reUable evidence.
Joseph^, the son of John', was younger brother of the Captain
John who suffered so much from the effects of the witchcraft delusion
in Boston, and his posterity must ever be proud to claim alUance
with one of the clear heads that saw through the terrible imposture.

John 3 removed to Middleborough about 1700 and before his chil-
dren were born. His gravestone and that of Hannah (White), his
wife, are in Purchade * burying-ground, Plymouth Street, North
Middleborough.
He was one of the original purchasers of Middleborough from
the Indians ; and the cellar of his house is only about twenty rods
north of the road leading from North Middleborough to the centre,
and less than one-eighth of a mile east of the Purchade burying-
ground in which he and his wife Hannah (White) lie. His will,
made in the year of his death, 1730, is here reproduced as having
a profound interest to his descendants, and not much less to all who
desire to know the characteristics, self-revealed, of the founders of
our State that are shown by it. So far as we know, it has not
been printed before.
Know all men by these presents that I John Alden of the Town
of middleborough In the county of plimouth In new england
being at this present time very sick and weak : yet of sound and
disposing memory & understanding : Blessed be God for the same :
and being senceable of my own mortality : and Knowing that it is
appointed for all men once to die : Do make and ordain this to be
my last will and Testament to Remain firm and Inviolable for Ever.
That is to say : first and principaly I Recommend my Soul to God
that gave it : and my body I committ to the Earth to be decently
Buried : hoping to Receive the same in Glory at the general Resur-
ection through the Merits of Jesus Christ : and as for my outward
Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to Bless me : I give and dis-
pose of the Same In maner following : Imprimis I Give and bequeath
unto my Loving wife Hannah Alden one third part of all my move-
able Estate whatsoever and one third part of all the Debts due unto
me my just debts and funeral charges being first paid out of my
moveable Estate the Same to be for her comfortable Subsistance and
to be at her own disposing : Also I give and bequeath unto my said
wife the whole use and Improvement of my Dwelling house barn
♦Purchade gets its name from some corruption of the Indian name, "Pachaet," "Package,
Pickade, Ptchade," given to the neck "near Teticut river."
This burial-place might properly be called the Alden ground, for it was given by John Alden3 ;
and a very large number of those allied to us, besides those in our direct line, lie all around in this
place. The names and ages of some who were born in the eighteenth century are given here : David,
S3 ; David, 6i ; Elijah, 98 ; Jared, 84 ; Job, 88 ; Lucinda, 62; Vienna, 84, among others.
But the most interesting of these not in our direct line is John, the younger brother of Joseph*.
He was born in 1719, and died in 1821. It seems to bring us very near in point of time to remember
that this son of a grandson of John, the Pilgrim, was alive during the lifetime of some who may read
this note. The great age of these noted above, most, if not all of whom were like him descended
from Joseph^, seems to emphasize the remark, often made, that the descendants of that line now far
outnumber those of all the others combined, and suggests the thought that great additional vitality
must have come in through marriage.

and outhouses during her widdowhood Also I Give unto my said wife
the whole use and Improvement of all the lands : which by this my
last will I Give to my Son John Alden : during her widdowhood :

one third of the aforesaid land given to my son John during her
widdowhood : Item whereas I have formerly given unto my Son David
Alden (by deed of Gift) fifty acres of land together with other things

house until it comes to the Southerly end of s^ Swamp and from
thence on a strait line to a cedar stake Standing on the Southerly
side of the aforesaid Way that leads from my : house to titicut : & from

ALDEN HISTORY 1 7
At a session of the Court held April, 1731, David Alden having
renounced his position, Hannah was made sole executrix.
September, 1746, "the said executors being also since deceased,"
Samuel Edy, Jr., of Middleborough, yeoman, son of the daughter
Lydia, was appointed administrator with the will annexed, with
Noah Alden of Middleborough, husbandman, and Thomas Mayhew,
merchant, of Plymouth, as his bondsmen.
This will has a good degree of interest to the general reader, and
is especially interesting to an Alden descendant. Many of the forms
which are now considered necessary in order that a will should be
valid were not followed, and it will be noticed that the witnesses
to this will certify to no more than that they saw him sign it. In the
commingling of religious dogma and secular business it does not
differ from most of the wills of that period, and perhaps not in the
technical description of the parcels of land devised ; but to a modern
conveyancer the absence of all distances in any direction, and of all
accurate points of compass, together with the temporary nature of
the marks named, combine to leave a most obscure image of the tract
conveyed. " The way that leads to Titicut " is clear, and from " the
River down stream " is plain enough if one knew how long the bank
of the river is followed, and at what point it was approached ; but
the " stump with stones round it," and the "cedar stake," and even
"the white oak tree," by their temporary nature do but mark more
emphatically that respect for the rights of others and the absolute
subordination to law and property rights that made these frail monu-
ments enough, and which traits still constitute the crowning glory
of our New England heritage.
For the rest, some of us can shine for a minute in the reflected
glory of an ancestor who threw around eighty-acre lots with the lav-
ishness of an Eastern prince, and willed swamp land without designat-
ing and, perhaps, without himself knowing the number of acres given.
Many will learn with surprise that our family boasts a slaveholder
among its ancestors, and all will be touched by that change in detail
in the wording of the will by which " some convenient " place for a
burial-ground became the spot already hallowed by the grave of the
giver's Httle son.
Each reader may guess for himself the motive that limited the large
gifts to the wife to a continuing widowhood, according as a husband
is considered a selfish tyrant who would rule, even in the grave, or as
a wise friend who would continue to love and to protect even after
1 8 ALDEN GENEALOGY
death ; but there will be no division of sentiment as to that clause
which provides for the education of little Noah.
It was owing to no lack of foresight on the part of the testator that
this provision failed to secure its object, but, rather, to the fact that
the widow died so soon after her husband, and that it was only when
the boy had attained his majority, in 1746, that the estate was finally
settled.
But in spite of all hindrances Noah is shown by Sprague's " Annals
of the American Pulpit " to have attained a large and varied useful-
ness, and it is impossible to read the final sentences in the quotation
that follows from that work without recognizing in the dead clergy-
man the fruition of that infant promise that the father saw in his five-
year-old son, so many years before : —
"He was born in Middleborough, May 30, 1725, the youngest of
thirteen children. His father left property to secure him a college
education, but it was improperly diverted from that purpose, and in
consequence he was exposed to many hardships. Before he was
twenty, he married and removed to Stafford, Conn., where he pur-
chased a farm. There he joined the Congregational Church and
continued in that form till 1753, when he became a Baptist.
" June, 1755, he became the minister of the Baptist Church in Staf-
ford, and so continued until November, 1766, when he was installed
as pastor of the Baptist Church in Bellingham, Mass. Here he con-
tinued until his death May, 1797, when nearly seventy-two years old.
"He was chosen as a delegate from Bellingham to the convention
that adopted the Constitution of the United States, and of the Con-
vention that formed the Constitution of Massachusetts, acquitting
himself with great credit in both.
" His countenance was expressive of great mildness, dignity, and
benevolence. Children were his delight, and they were never happier
than when the objects of his attentions."
It will be seen that the ground in which John 3, his son Joseph, and
wife Hannah Hall, and Joseph's son Ebenezer all lie, was given in
this will ; and it is an interesting fact that by the side of the last there
is space for his wife, Ruth Fobes, who lies in North Carver. The
part given in John's will lies next the street, there having been a mod-
ern addition in the rear, and his body lies in the first row next the
north-west entrance. In the third row east is Joseph, 17 16-1787;
and in the fourth is Ebenezer, 1743-1773.

The son John, to whom the will leaves the home property, is he
who lived on until 1 821, being only eleven years old when the will was
made. He was of the fourth generation from the Pilgrim, and we
are of the eighth ; but it would not be strange if there were people
still living in Middleborough who remember him. His body lies in
the third row from that of his father and that of his brother David,
In the careful provision which the will makes for the liberal education
of the son Noah is seen a most creditable reflection of the thought
that founded Harvard College and Brown University.
Joseph 4 appears always to have lived in Middleborough, though
some of the returns that he makes as administrator of his son
Ebenezer's 5 estate may imply that in some part of the latter portion
of his life he was an inhabitant of Plympton, with the widow of his
son.
As appears from the subjoined table, he was twice married, but
had children only by the first wife. Tradition more direct than usual
2 2 ALDEN GENEALOGY
says that Joseph Uved and Ebenezer his son died in a house on
Centre Street, North Middleborough, very near that village. The
house is the second on the left side of the road next beyond the
Colonel Eaton place.
There is no conveyance of this place to Joseph or Ebenezer in the
Plymouth Registry, though one or the other is said once to have
owned it.
Deborah Williamson, a widow, b. Sept. ii, 1716, m. Joseph Alden^,
Sept. 3, 1767, fourteen months after the death of Hannah (Hall).
Although she bore no children to the Alden stock, and her maiden name
and place of death and burial are unknown to us, and although she
is visible but a minute before the obscurity in which she was before
enveloped again swallows her up, perhaps forever, her connection
with our family is of supreme importance for the reason that it is the
occasion of a paper that traces our descent from John, the Pilgrim.
Joseph Alden lived between 17 16 and 1787, his son Ebenezer
between 1743 and 1773. In the short time between Ebenezer's
marriage, December, 1763, and his death in January, 1773, six chil-
dren were born to him. His mother died July i, 1766.
The mother of Ebenezer's children remarried four years after the
death of their father ; and they were scattered, some in Bridgewater,
perhaps with their maternal grandfather, some in Middleborough,
and some with their aunt in Raynham.
Their father was a storekeeper in Middleborough, dying of measles
in the middle of the winter ; and his insolvent estate was settled by
his father Joseph. Out of these conditions of death, dispersion, and
remarriage has come the fact that there is no known record evidence
that these children were the descendants of John, the Pilgrim. Of
the fact there has been plenty of hearsay evidence, convincing
enough and undisputed ; but of proof that would entitle one to inherit
an estate or to derive a pauper settlement there was none known.
Dr. Ebenezer Alden's History, 1867, painstaking and indispen-
sable, says that Ebenezer married Hannah Hall, 1742, she being his
mother, and the time a year before his birth ; and Mitchell's His-
tory of Bridgewater gives us no more than his intention of marriage,
1763, with no hint of children. The marriage record of Middle-
borough shows that he was married there Dec. 22, 1763, but gives
no names of children born to him. Under these circumstances it
was of supreme importance to find in the Raynham house of Amos
Hall, son of Fear Alden, sister of Ebenezer, a quit-claim deed made
ALDEN HISTORY 23
by Deborah Alden in 1789, after she was the widow of Joseph, and
when perhaps it became necessary to raise money for the further
support of the orphan children of Ebenezer by the sale of their
grandfather's property, which document could not better have served
our purpose if it had been a genealogical chart.
It is of small account that the deed is defective in that it makes
no description or location of property affected, and gives no dates
of former instruments mentioned, or that it never was formally ac-
knowledged, so that it could be put on record. The paper, of un-
doubted authenticity, is before us, and is here copied : —

Nor is the history of Ruth Fobes, the mother of these children, and
great-grandmother to us of the eighth generation, entirely with-
out interest. She was born in 1744, and had not hved out nearly
2 4 ALDEN GENEALOGY
half her allotted time when she was left alone in the winter with six
fatherless children around her, when she married Daniel Faunce, of
Plympton, now North Carver, in 1777. She was of Bridgewater
(Bridgewater Town Record), which makes it probable that she and
one or more of her children found a home with her father Joshua
Fobes, who was guardian.
There is every evidence that her marriage to Faunce was a prudent
and successful one ; and the provisions of his will when he died in
1803, as well as the house, still standing, in which they lived in North
Carver, bear evidence that she needed at the time of her father's
death no more than the nominal sum given her in his will. Besides
these children of our line she had five, who came to adult life, by
Mr. Faunce.
She names the oldest of her boys Alden, in tender memory of de-
parted joys and griefs ; but his remains rest in Ohio, whither he went
in July, 1823, Two of the daughters who intermarried with the
Vaughans, and their children, lie near her or in the centre burial-
ground a mile beyond.
In her seventy-fourth year, July 28, 181 7, as appears by her legible
slate-stone, her life ended, and she lies at rest by the side of her
second husband and of his first wife, in the North Carver ground,
nearly in the centre, at the left side of the rear third.
A touching memorial of her early sorrows is on file at Plymouth
Probate Office, with a copy of which this sketch may properly end : —
To the hoTiorabk John Gushing^ Judge of the probate of
Wills &= Granting Letters of adni"^ in the county of Plimouth &'c.
Whereas my Husband Ebenezer Alden late of Middleborough de-
ceased, died Intestate, leaving me with a number of small Children, &
leaving many of his accounts unsettled & perplexed, and his Estate
as I apprehend Insolvent, which will render the Settlement of his
Estate too difficult for me in my Circumstances to undertake,
I would therefore Inform Your Honor that it is my desire that you
would appoint my hon^ father Joseph Alden Adm'' of said Estate &
you will oblige your humble serv*

* " Mrs. Robinson's record," which is alluded to in connection with Rayuham death statistics, is a
list of deaths in Raynham, 1749-1876, kept by Mrs. Hannah Robinson, wife of Seth, until her death
1823, and tl^n by her daughter Mrs. Hannah Robinson until her death. The record for the first
twenty-four years is fragmentary, there being only one death recorded in some of the years. But
after 1773 this voluntary labor was carefully done. There is ample evidence that the records are
authentic, as where the town record gives the age as " one year," Mrs. Robinson gives it as " 12
months." Here, then, are about a thousand names recorded of deaths occurring where there was no
entry on the town record, and it is difficult to exaggerate the debt that we owe to these good ladies
for their work. In 1886 the volume, "much worn," was in the hands of Mrs. Eunice Robinson wife
of Joseph Tucker Leonard, and the copy from which these data are taken was then made by Samuel
P. May, Esq., of Newton, and placed in the library of the New England Genealogical Society,
where, with the liberality native to that place, it awaits the investigations of students.

Although not included in the plan of this book, it may be of as-
sistance to descendants of Ebenezer^ in other lines than through
Polly and Ebenezer*^, as well as to the genealogist who shall assemble
in one volume all the known posterity of the Pilgrim, that there
should be here preserved certain memoranda having a good degree
of authenticity. They were found in the papers of Mrs. Shaw,
mother of one of the editors, and those of Mrs. Eunice Stevens,
daughter of her aunt, Hannah Backus. There is no ground for
belief that the records are copied one from the other; and, con-
firmed as both are, in many details, by Raynham town records, there
is good reason for accepting them as reliable.
Before giving them, it is thought best here to place on record cer-
tain details found in Mrs. Shaw's paper of the names and marriage
relations of the brothers and sisters of Joseph ■♦. She was interested
and intelligent in such things, and probably no essential departure
from facts otherwise established will be found in her statement.

Mrs. Shaw's memorandum gives no dates of birth, and they have
been supplied from Raynham town records. It also lacks the names
of " Ebenezer " and " Ezra," found on the town record, and gives
"Thomas," not there found. Perhaps Thomas may be one of these
two renamed, and the other may have died before her knowledge of
her aunt's family.
The name of the family is always given with accent on second
syllable, and sometimes spelled "Persho," and sometimes " Presho."
The mother's name is sometimes Orpah, sometimes Orpha.
APPENDIX.
Although the subject is outside the scope of this book, the promi-
nent position of Capt. John Alden of Boston in the witchcraft delu-
sion of 1692 will lend to the papers here printed an interest to Alden
descendants that will fully justify their appearance here, particularly
because the first one, copied from the Massachusetts Archives, vol-
ume on Witchcraft, p. 25, is not generally known.
The writer was probably an eye-witness of the scenes of May 31,
so graphically set down in the paper that follows his letter.

APPENDIX
Isaac Addington was Judge of Probate ; and Thomas Newton,
Attorney-General, was evidently there in his official capacity.
Here follows Alden's account of his troubles at Salem Village : —
An accoufit how John Aldin, senior, of Boston, in the County of Suf-
folk, mariner, on the 28th day of May, i6q2, ivas sent for by the mag-
istrates of Salem upon the accusation of a company of poor distracted or
possessed creatures or witches ; and being sent by Mr. Stoughton ar-
rived there the ji^ of May and appeared at Saleifi Village before Mr.
Gidney, Mr. Hathorn and Mr. Curwin.
Those ivenches being present, who played their juggling tricks, fallifig
down, crying out, and staring in people"" s faces ; the magistrates de-
manded of them several times, who it was of all the people ifi the 7-oom
that hurt them : one of these accusers pointed several times at one Cap-
tain Hill, there present, but spake nothing ; the same accuser had a man
standing at her back to hold her up ; he stooped dowti to her ear, then
she cried out Aldi?i, Aldin afflicted her ; one of the magistrates asked
her if she had ever seen Aldin, she answered ?io ; he asked her how she
knew it was Aldin ; she said the man told her so. Theft all were or-
dered to go down ifito the street, where a rifig was made ; and the same
accuser cried out There stands Aldin, a bold fellow, with his hat on
before the judges ; he sells powder and shot to the Indians and French,
and lies with the Indian squaws, and has Indian papooses. Theti was
Aldin committed to the marshaVs custody, and his sword taken from
him for they said he afflicted thefti with his sword. After some hours
Aldin was sent for to the meeiing-house in the Village, before the magis-
trates ; who required Aldin to stand upon a chair, to the open view of
.all the people. The accusers cried out that Aldin pinched them, then,
when he stood upon the chair, in the sight of all the people, a good way
distant from them. One of the magistrates bid the marshal to hold
open Aldi?i^s hands, that he might not pinch those creatures. Aldin
asked them why they should think that he should come to that Village to
■afflict those persons that he never kfiew or saw before.
Mr. Gidney bid Aldin confess, and give glory to God. Aldin said
he hoped he should give glory to God and hoped he never should gratify
the devil ; but appealed to all that ever knew him if they ever suspected
him to be such a person, and challenged any one, that could bring in
anything upon their own knowledge that might give suspicion of his
being such an one. Mr. Gidney said he had known Aldin mafiy years,
and had been at sea with him, and ahvays looked upon him to be an
honest man, but now he saw cause to alter his judgment.
APPENDIX
Aldin answered^ he was sorry for that, but he hoped God would clear
up his innocency, that he would recal that judgment again, and added,
that he hoped that he should with Job maintain his integrity till he died.
They bid Aldin look upon the accusers, which he did, and they fell down.
Aldin asked Mr. Gidney what reason there could be given, why Aldin^s
looking on him did not strike him doT.vn as ^oell, but no reason was
given. But the accused were brought to Aldin to touch them, and this
touch they said made them well. Aldin began to speak of the providence
of God, in suffering these creatures to accuse innocent persons. Mr.
Noyes (a fninister) asked Aldin why he should offer to speak of the
providence of God, and so ivent on with discourse, and stopt Aldin' s
mouth as to that.
Aldin told Mr. Gidney that he could assure him that there was a
lying spirit, in them, for there is not a word of truth in all these say of
me. But he was again committed to the marshal.
To Boston Aldin was carried by a constable ; no bail would be taken
for him ; but was delivered to the prison-keeper, where he remained
fifteen weeks ; (which would be till the middle of September) and then
observing the manner of trials, and evidence then taken, was at length
prevailed with to make his escape, atid being returtied was bound over to
answer at the Superior Court at Bostoti, the last Tuesday in April,
i6gj : and was then cleared by proclamation, none appearing against
^^^' Per John Alden.
It is many years since the last of the male descendants of Capt.
John Alden died ; but Alden Street in Boston, where he had a large
landed estate, with the historical record of his services to the Colony,
as the commander of her armed ships, will long keep his memory
green.
