ABBEY, EDWIN ALDEN & FRANCES MARIA
Children of Seth Alden Abbey and siblings of Henry Gilbert Abbey (both below), they were Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendants. According to the author of the book containing this image, Edward A. was born in Watertown, NY in 1823, moved with his parents in the 1830s to Cleveland, where Frances M. was born (1840) and where she married Joel Francis Freeman of NY in 1860. but Edwin died in Corvallis, OR after an exciting life in the Army and the Wild West. Because of his peregrinations any VRs may be difficult to obtain. He married Miranda Pentland of KY but was living in OR in 1852. The book reports 6 children and at least 2 grandchildren and notes that he and at least one child remained in Oregon. Frances M.'s husband was treasurer of Standard Oil Co. and died in NJ. He should have left a good paper trail, including news articles (check the finance sections.) The book with the photo on the right, actually of a statue, also mentions that Mr. Freeam was a member of the St. Nicholas Society, which is a lineage group for people with NY Dutch ancestors. There may be lineage papers on him there AND on his wife. Their son Alden Freeman (below) was supposed to have been a member of many similar groups, i.e. a genealogy enthusiast. See father Seth Abbey's writeup for details of the lineage. Image and info from Abbe & Nichols, Abbe-Abbey Genealogy (New Haven, CT: Tuttle, Morehouse, Taylor, 1916), p. 301, 2.

ABBEY, HENRY GILBERT, HENRY, HENRY JR.
Brother of Frances and Edwin, above, and son of Seth, below, Henry Gilbert Abbey (immediately above, far left) was a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant, making son Henry (center, b Cleveland 1862) and grandson 2nd Lt. Henry Jr. (far right, b Lockport, NY 1877) Gens 10/11 and 11/12. He was born in Watertown, NY in 1821, moved to Cleveland as a boy, and died there in 1887, according to the author of the book from which this photo comes. As an attorney Henry was likely to have left a very good paper trail. Like brother Edwin he went west, but as a '49er in the Gold Rush, and was later an assistant to Mr. Case of the noted Case Western Reserve (university) in Ohio. He married and left descendants who are noted in this book. Henry should be easy to document but remember to look in California for his 1850 FC entry - or look in California AND Ohio. Double enumeration did happen, due to having two residences or different places being tallied on different days. Lt. Henry left a paper trail with his military service & there might be VRs in Tucson, AZ documenting his time there. For Henry Sr.'s exact lineage, see Seth, below.

ABBEY, SETH ALDEN
Seth was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins I ran across while searching for someone else, also a newspaper publisher and a Civil War veteran but not from Connecticut. Seth, named apparently for his mother's brother, was the son of Peter Abbey and Hannah Alden, originally of Connecticut but living in NY when Seth was born. As a Gen. 8/9 descendant he is not in a Silver Book and as a New Yorker he would not be easy to find on the NEHGS. Head for the Alden Kindred web site online database and search there if you run into Gen 6-8 issue. Seth's line runs: Hannah (Alden) Abbey, Amos Alden, Jonathan, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John and Priscilla of the Mayflower. His father's picture (no beard) is in the book and I think Seth takes after Peter; maybe a little thinner. What do you think? Image and some info from Abbe & Nichols, Abbe-Abbey Genealogy (New Haven, CT: Tuttle, Morehouse, Taylor, 1916), p. 189. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.

ADAMS, ENOCH GEORGE & MARY ABIGAIL
Like their brother, John, who died in KS age 31, Major Enoch George Adams (b 1829) & Mary Abigail (b 1835) of NH were also writers. Enoch was also a soldier, editor, and publisher, living and working in the Dakotas and Oregon. Look for Mary by her married name, "Senter." The Adams Family Papers at the University of New Hampshire Library has 7 folders of records and correspondence and there may be a Civil War photo of Enoch somewhere. According to the author of the book with these photos, he was in Co D, 2d NH Inf., where he acquired the "Maj.," and later fought Sitting Bull. They were Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendants as follows: Rev. John Adams, John, Joseph, Joseph, Hannah (Bass) Adams, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The silver books will get you to the birth (1759) and marriage of grandparents John Adams & Abigail Coleman. Images & info from Andrew N. Adams, A Genealogical History of Henry Adams of Braintree, Mass., and his Descendants; also John Adams of Cambridge, Mass., 1632-1897 (Rutland: Tuttle, 1898), pp. 394, 398, 405, 417, 442, 444 digitized by Columbia University. |

Adams, Henry Brooks & Peter Chardon Brooks
A well known writer and historian, Henry Adams (left) was born in 1838 and attended Harvard University, where this photo was taken in 1858, around the time his younger brother, who went by "Brooks" was born. Brooks's photo was taken in 1910, when he was 62. (There is at least one image of a younger Brooks online.) Generation 8/9 descendants of the Alden-Mullins family, they were also Generation 9 descendant of Elizabeth Tilley and John Howland via mother Abigail Brown (Brooks) Adams. Their Alden-Mullins line runs: Charles Francis Adams, John Quincy, John, John, Hannah (Bass) Adams, Ruth (Alden) Bass, Pilgrims John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See their Howland-Tilley writeup for that line. Both images courtesy the National Park Service.

ALDEN, ALBERT
The book with this photo had just one factoid about Albert, that he was born in 1817. The other statement, that he was 7 gen from John Alden is not a factoid, but a mistakoid, as far as I can determine. His Mason card on the NEHGS gave his death date & place and the death record revealed him to have been born in Jay, ME and his parents to be Otis & Harriet Adams. Harriet was from ME but Otis was from SE MA. It looks like they are the couple who died in 1835 & 1837, respectively, both in their 30s. There was a birth record for an Otis born to a Daniel (miraculously, no mother was involved.) A probate record showed what I believe to be the same Otis and siblings left to a Samuel Jr. who was likely their uncle. Father Daniel had also died young. All this makes Albert a Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins (and a Rogers) as follows: Otis Alden, Daniel, Samuel, Samuel, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullns of the Mayflower. See the Rogers section for that lineage. Image and birth year from Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 294, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALDEN, ALONZO
Update to this listing: I still have not found the specific Alden line of Brig. Gen. Alden of Essex Co., NY but have unearthed the fact that he was also a Brewster & Hopkins via his mother. The history of Westport, Essex Co, NY mentioned his family because they were proud of Alonzo earning a brevet appointment as a brigadier well before he turned 30 but stated that his father was Isaac Alden, a descendant of pilgrim John Alden and his mother was Hannah (---) "first white child born in the vicinity of Montpelier, VT." Federal and state censuses show Isaac and various family members, including Alonzo, however, I could not find parents for Isaac, b. MA 1788-9, husband of Hannah (---), b. Vt 1791-1800 on NEHGS, Alden Kindred, fold3.com, or anywhere else I looked. A second book on Rensselaer Co gave more detail, specifically Hannah's surname: Snow. Using that on the NEHGS turned up her lineage, so see Alonzo's Brewster & Hopkins write-ups for more detail. Initial info on Isaac & Alonzo in Caroline Halstead Royce, Bessboro: A History of Westport, Essex Co., NY (1902), image from fold3.com's New York State Military Museum Photos Civil War - Vietnam War database.

ALDEN, CHARLES L.
Charles was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins and a Generation 9 Rogers, thanks to his great grandfather Samuel Alden's marriage to Hannah Williams. (See the Rogers section for that line.) Charles shared a family photo (naming wife and children) with the publisher of this book and the author gave his middle initial and residence so he was not hard to find on the NEHGS site and in the 1900 federal census (enumerated with his father in the household, also helpful.) His great grandfather is in the Alden silver book and the line runs, upstream from Charles: Isaac Alden, Seth, Samuel, Samuel, Joseph, Joseph, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. The photo to the left was cropped from the family photo, which I will insert below. Image from Augustus Ephraim Alden, Pilgrim Alden (Boston: James H. Earle, 1902), p. 189, scanned by me.

ALDEN, EBENEZER
A physician and bibliophile, Dr. Ebenezer Alden got a lengthy writeup in the book from which this image was taken and it included a genealogy that helpfully noted his mother was also an Alden-Mullins descendant. Their marriage is in the Alden silver book, Part 4 as part of his mother Sarah Bass's writeup. His father, also an Ebenezer Alden, is in Part 3 but the marriage is not noted there. Here are Dr. Ebenezer's two Gen 7 Alden-Mullins lines: Sarah (Bass) Alden, Jonathan Bass, Samuel, Samuel, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William Mullins) and secondly, Ebenezer Alden, Daniel, Daniel, Joseph, Joseph, John & Priscilla. Image & info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), pp. 208-15, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALDEN, EDMUND KIMBALL
This Gen 8/9 and 9/10 double Alden-Mullins descendant was born in Randolph, MA 1825 to medical doctor Ebenezer Alden, Jr., originally of Stafford, CT, and his wife Annie Kimball. Ebenezer was the son of another Ebenezer Alden, also a doctor, and he is in the Alden silver book, Part 3. Edmund was a Congregational minister, ordained in 1850, who served in ME & MA. He died in Boston in 1896. His 1st line runs: Ebenezer Alden, Jr., Ebenezer, Daniel, Daniel, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The second line runs: Ebenezer Alden, Jr., Ebenezer, Sarah (Bass) Alden, Jonathan Bass, Samuel, Samuel, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John & Priscilla. That line links with the Adams family written about on this page. Maybe that is where the baldness gene comes from. Supporting evidence was found on the NEHGS site among journal articles and vital records. See particularly the NEHGR 35: 309-318, an 1881 elegy entitled "Daniel Alden." The subject was Edmund's father. This image comes from Augustus Ephraim Alden, Pilgrim Alden (Boston: James H. Earle, 1902), p. 189, scanned by me.

ALDEN, EVELYN F.
The "F." may stand for "Frances" since her mother's name was "E. Frances" (E for Ella.) Evelyn was the older half sister of Margery, below, and also a Cooke as well as an Alden-Mullins descendant. See Margery's writeup for the Gen. 12 lineage. Evelyn was born in 1891 in Brockton, MA, and was the child of their father's first marriage. A look at the mother's parents and grandparents revealed no obvious additional Mayflower lines but you are welcome to continue the hunt. See the Cooke section for that lineage. This photo was also taken from a Brockton High School yearbook on the shelf at the town library, and scanned by me.

ALDEN, GEORGE CHANDLER
Twice a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant, George was the son of Cyrus Alden and second wife Lura Flagg. His first line runs: Cyrus Alden, John, David, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullns and the second is: Cyrus Alden, John, Lucy/Lucia (Thomas) Alden, Mary (Alden) Thomas, John, Joseph, John & Priscilla. George was born in Ashfield, MA and studied law, which he practiced in Buffalo, NY and Annawan, IL. There may be a photo of him from his Civil War service with the 112th Illinois Volunteers. Please contact the webmaster if this is available through the public domain. Late in life George moved to Colorado, where he died in Bristol, CO 1888. He left one child, William Cyrus Alden. The lineage above came from the Alden Kindred web site, confirmed through the birth of his grandfather in the Alden silver book, which revealed that his great grandmother was also an Alden. Image and additional data from Charles Alcott Flagg, The Descendants of Eleazer Flagg and His Wife Huldah Chandler of Grafton (Boston: David Clapp & Son, 1903), p. 96, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALDEN, HIRAM ORLANDO
Born 1880 in New Hampshire, Hiram spent his adult years as a resident of Belfast, Maine, where he married and had children. The Hiram Alden mistakenly identified as him on findagrave is actually his son, but it gave me a clue as to the identify of his parents. The Alden Kindred web site confirmed that and the birth of Hiram's father is in the Alden silver book Part 3. It just fails to mention anything about anyone going on to Maine. Hiram's wife and children, one grandchild, and their marriages are in the same book as this picture. A son and grandson were both attorneys, the latter also a university professor. so the odds of finding a photo somewhere are decent. Hiram's Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Joseph Alden, James, John, Isaac, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus William Mullins) of the Mayflower. Image and info from Williamson & Johnson, History of the City of Belfast in the State of Maine, Vol. II 1875-1900 (NY: Houghton Mifflin, 1913), p. 126, digitized by the NY Public Library.

Alden, James Madison
James Madison Alden, aka James Alden, Jr. (1810-1877), though his father James had no middle name, was a Gen 6/7 Alden/Mullins descendant. Born in Portland, ME, he was son of James Alden, housewright, and grandson of David Alden (Benjamin, David, John), Maine mariner. The family's many real estate and legal wranglings left an excellent paper trail that can be seen in the Alden silver book, part 1 and as of May 2020, in the new Gen 5-6 David Alden Silver book (Vol. 16, Part 6, p. 205.) James finished a long and adventurous maritime surveying career in the U.S. Navy as a rear admiral. He served in the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-42) under Lt. Charles Wilkes, a circumnavigational voyage after that, the Mexican-American War (1846), US-Canadian border skirmishes with the British Navy in the Pacific Northwest, and the Civil War. Thus there should be a lot more public domain photos out there and these would be appreciated. Image #theb3382 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Although he married he is not known to have had any children.
ALDEN, MARGERY AMES
This photo was taken around 1912-1913 and appears in a Brockton High School yearbook on the shelf at the Brockton Library in their downtown, around the corner from my Irish great-great grandparents' home. Margery was listed as "Class Essayist" and from the family write-ups in the silver books she appears to have come from a long line of literate Aldens active in their communities. She is also a Francis Cooke descendant. Her Gen 10/11 line runs: George W. Alden, George L., Philander, Andrew, David Jr., David, John, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See her Cooke writeup for that line. There are vital records on the NEHGS for her 1895 birth and everyone on back to the silver books. Her Aldens were longtime Middleboro residents. A quick look at her other ancestors did not turn up another Mayflower line but don't be surprised if there is one or more to be uncovered. Image scanned by me.

ALDEN, MAY
The book from which this image was taken has about 3 pages of biography, including May's Gen 7 Alden line and it matches the Alden silver book through her father, Prince b. 1808 Tioga Co, NY in the silver book, Prince William b. 1809 Tioga Co, NY in May's writeup. She was a university graduate (1872), writer, lecturer, clubwoman, and wife of William G. Ward, a professor of English literature. The writeup does not say if she and Mr. Ward left any descendants but May had two brothers, Henry and Reuben Alden of Ohio. May's line runs as follows: Prince William Alden, Andrew Stanford Alden, Prince, Andrew, Jonathan, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower (along with her father, both eligible ancestors.) Image and info from Mary Elvira Elliot, et al., comp., Representative Women of New England (Boston: New England Historical Publishing, 1904), 46-50, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

ALDEN, PRISCILLA
This Priscilla (b 1886), seen here around age 25, has two Gen 9/10 Alden lines and a Standish line, possibly more if you can correctly trace her Edson line. In 1911 she was an instructor at the North Adams Normal School, today the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA). Later she married a dentist practicing in Beverly, MA so look for descendants there named Wilson. She had graduated in 1909 from the MA Normal Art School, which is today the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, founded in 1873, said to be the first art college in the US to grant an "artistic degree." She probably had the equivalent of a BA or MFA, since she would have been 23 at the time. It would be interesting to know what her specialty was. Here is the first Alden-Mullins line for Priscilla: Isaac R. Alden, James S., Isaac, Ezra, Ebenezer, Isaac, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus father William. Another runs: Caroline Mitchell (Keith) Alden, Caroline (Jones) Keith, Deborah (Samson) Jones, Miles Samson, Miles, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla. See the Standish section for that lineage. Image and info from North Adams Normal School, The Taconian (North Adams: 1911), n.p., digitized by the MCLA.

She had graduated in 1909 from the MA Normal Art School, which is today the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, founded in 1873, said to be the first art college in the US to grant an "artistic degree." She probably had the equivalent of a BA or MFA, since she would have been 23 at the time. It would be interesting to know what her specialty was. Here is the first Alden-Mullins line for Priscilla: Isaac R. Alden, James S., Isaac, Ezra, Ebenezer, Isaac, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus father William. Another runs: Caroline Mitchell (Keith) Alden, Caroline (Jones) Keith, Deborah (Samson) Jones, Miles Samson, Miles, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla. See the Standish section for that lineage. Image and info from North Adams Normal School, The Taconian (North Adams: 1911), n.p., digitized by the MCLA.
ALDEN, PRISCILLA MULLINS
Sorry for the tiny, blurry picture. This is trimmed from a larger image I will post in the "Mystery/Fun Photos" section along with one of the 1903 Alden family reunion. Based on the vital records on the NEHGS and on the Alden silver book Part 3, this Priscilla was from the family that owned the Alden House in Duxbury back in the early 1900s, thus her pose in front of the building, probably at the same reunion. Her line appears to run: John W. Alden, John 2d/Jr, John, Judah, Briggs, John, Jonathan, John Alden & Co. The book from which this very blurry scan was made says that she was Gen. 9 and this works out to be the case if I picked the correct great-grandfather. I believe the Gen 6 John in the book is he because the other John in Duxbury of that era was 10-15 years older and married someone different. John 2d/Jr married a Mary Brewster, daughter of Daniel & Polly, and Judah's wife Welthea Wadsworth was a double Alden and a Warren. I will leave that for another day. Image and some info from Charles H. Ayers, Ancestors of Silas Ayers and Mary Byram Ayers, including the Alden, Ayers, and Byram Families (Detroit: author, 1905), n.p., digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALDEN, TIMOTHY
A display at the John Paul Jones House in Portsmouth, NH contained a full room of intricate samplers stitched as a formal part of the curriculum at schools there in the late 1700s-early 1800s. The Rev. Timothy Alden (1771-1839) got his start as an educator (he went on to found Allegheny College in Meadville, PA) with a school for women that reportedly attracted the upper echelon of Portsmouth society. He also kept the best records, publishing lists of his students. Timothy's birth is in the Alden silver book series, as Gen. 6. Beginning with his father, his line runs: Timothy Alden, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Rev. Alden's image in B&W was on display at the John Paul Jones House in the room dedicated to their impressive sampler collection. It was taken from a book on sale there, LaBranche & Conant, In Female Worth and Elegance: Sampler and Needlework Students and Teachers in Portsmouth, New Hampshire 1741-1840 (Portsmouth: Portsmouth Marine Society, 1996), xviii. The authors credit an original painting at Allegheny College, shown at left, image #4828. Click on the link to go to Allegheny College's biography of Alden and the full portrait.

ARNOLD, ELIZABETH (See Elizabeth Sherman, below)
ATWOOD, ELLEN FRANCES
Born in Middleborough, MA in 1835 but a resident of Taunton and Edgartown, MA after her marriage to Mark Hollingsworth Cornell of Bridgewater, Frances turned out to be an Alden-Mullins, Allerton, Brewster, Cooke, Standish, and Warren, in some cases more than once. Don't let the Samson surname in her lineage mislead you, though, as she was not a descendant of pilgrim Henry Samson. A published poet garnered her a place in the 2-volume compendium of noted American women which contained the photo on the left. Her first Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows, beginning with her mother: Marcia/Mercy (Thomson) Atwood, Lydia (Murdock) Thomson, Sarah (Samson) Murdock, Ephraim Samson, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins with father William, all 3 Mayflower passengers. The second runs: Marcia/Mercy (Thomson) Atwood, Lydia (Murdock) Thomson, John Murdock, James, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John/Priscilla/William again. The Alden silver book brings you to the marriage of Lydia Murdock & Solomon Thomson, whose 1831 will names daughter Mercy, wife of George Atwood. (Note: Mercy/Marcia's death year is correct on her gravestone but incorrectly transcribed by her findagrave memorialist.) See the other pilgrim sections for Frances's other lines.

Babbitt, Adeline Lavinia & Nathan Snell Babbitt
Adeline (Babbitt) Browne (1815-1888) and Dr. Nathan Snell Babbitt (1812-1889), children of Jael Edson (below) and Dr. Snell Babbitt of Massachusetts and thus Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendants and Howland-Tilley, Soule, and Doty descendants (on their mother's side.) Their line runs: Jael (Edson) Babbitt, Rhoda (Peterson) Edson, Ruth (Delano) Peterson, Jonathan Delano, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, daughter of William. There is said to be a line through Rhoda's husband, Abiezer Edson, Jr, but I can't find it. (See the other sections on this website for other pilgrim lineage details.)

BAGNELL, ELLA
Working as a temperance reformer in Connecticut and associate editor of a temperance newspaper there in the late 1800s, Ella Bagnell Kendrick (b 1849) and husband Henry M. Kendrick seem to have had no children. However, as of the 1865 MA state census of Plymouth, MA, her home town, she had 3 younger siblings who may have carried on the line. They and Ella were Alden-Mullins, Doty, Hopkins, Samson, Brewster, Standish, Cooke, Bradford, and Warren descendants (several times.) Here is Ella's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with her father: Richard Bagnell, Lydia (Sampson) Bagnell, Ebenezer Sampson, Ebenezer, David, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla (William) Mullins of the Mayflower. Image & scant info from Frances E. Willard & Mary A. Livermore, eds., American Women: Fifteen Hundred Biographies with Over 1,400 Portraits, Vol. II (NY: Mast.

BAILEY, HOLLIS RUSSELL
An attorney from North Andover, MA (b 1852), he was also president of the Bailey-Bayley Family Association and quite a genealogical enthusiast so he must have known he was an Alden descendant and was the one who provided that info to the biographer for this book about lawyers. His maternal grandfather was named "Alden Loring" and his mother was the granddaughter of an Alethea Alden and was born in Duxbury, plus her middle name was Alden. In 2020, he was formally ensconced in a silver book, with the publication of Vol. 16, Part 6, Descendants of David Alden (p. 351,) which also revealed that he was a Warren descendant through his paternal grandmother. See section for the Warren line. Hollis's Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs: Lucinda Alden (Loring) Bailey, Alden Loring, Alethea (Alden) Loring, Samuel Alden, David, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. Image & info from Conrad Reno, Memoirs of the Judiciary and the Bar of New England for the Nineteenth Century, with a History of the Judicial System of New England, Vol. I (Boston: Century Memorial, 1900), pp. 285-6, Boston Public Library. The image on the right looks a little older, and is from a compiled edition of Bailey-Bayley publications. The term of office was said to be 1895-96. It is from the Account of the Ninth Gathering of the Bailey-Bayley Family Association (Lawrence, MA: American-Sun, 1902), p. 30, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library. |

BARSTOW, ELIJAH, JR.
A Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant, Elijah Jr. was born 1805, probably at Hanover Four Corners, Plymouth County, MA, where his family had been involved in shipbuilding for several generations. He is a nephew of Samuel Eells and Michael Ford, Jr./2d and a cousin of Robert L. Ells (not Eells) on this page. Samuel, Michael, Elijah Sr., and Robert's father Edward are all in the Alden silver book, vol. 4. Elijah's line runs: Lucy (Eells) Barstow, Ruth (Copeland) Eells, Joseph Copeland, Mary (Bass) (Webb) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Image and info from L. Vernon Briggs, History of Shipbuilding on North River, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with Genealogies of the Shipbuilders, and Accounts of the Industries Upon its Tributaries, 1640 to 1872 (Boston: Coburn, 1889), pp. 98, 100, 109, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BARTLETT, HENRY
Henry (b. Plymouth 1858) is a distant cousin of John, below, and like him is an Alden-Mullins and Brewster as well as a Warren (three times.) His Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Abner Bartlett, Anna (Bartlett) Bartlett, Deacon Abner, Silvanus, Elizabeth (Bartlett) Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The Silver Book gets only as far as Silvanus's marriage to Martha Waite. See Henry's Warren and Brewster writeups for those lines.

Bartlett, John
Author of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," John Bartlett graduated from Harvard with an M.A. and began a career in publishing. In addition to being a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant he was also a Generation 9 descendant of Richard Warren and the Brewsters. His lineage is tracked as far as his great-grandfather, Samuel Bartlett in the Warren silver book, and to his grandfather, Joseph Bartlett in the Alden silver book, Part 2. All of his Mayflower connections are on his paternal side and via three marriages by Bartletts to female descendants of the Pilgrims named above.

BASSETT, RUFUS W.
Businessman Rufus Bassett was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins, Gen 9 Standish, Gen 8 Samson, and 9 Warren. (See those writeups for details.) Rufus's Alden line runs as follows: Charles Jarvis Holmes Bassett, Rosalinda (Holmes) Bassett, Abraham Holmes, Hannah (Samson) Holmes, Abraham Samson, Lora/Lorah (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The 2016 Alden Part 5 silver book will get you to the marriage of Abraham Holmes to Bethiah Nye, a Warren descendant then states that they had children, no names.

BISBEE, REBECCA DELANO
Ironically, she was not even a Delano, but was named for her father's first wife. This Rebecca, b. Kingston, MA 1817, later became the wife of Joseph Brown Hamlen, a lobster cannery owner, thus her inclusion in the book with this picture. Rebecca was a Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins through both of her parents, on her mother's line as follows: Sally (Sampson) Bisbee, Jeremiah Sampson, Rachel (Standish) Sampson, Moses Standish, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus father) of the Mayflower. On her father's side the line ran: Zebulon Bisbee, George, Deborah (Sampson) Bisbee, Hannah (Soule) Sampson, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden and Priscilla & William Mullins again, The Alden-Mullins book gets her lines as far as her grandparents - Jeremiah Sampson's marriage to Sarah Washburn and George Bisbee's marriage to Grace Ripley. The John Howland vol. 23 silver book, though, extends to the birth of her father, Zebulon Bisbee in 1778. See Rebecca's Howland-Tilley, Billington, Standish, Brewster, Allerton, Cooke, Hopkins, and Soule writeups for those lineages and her Priest writeup for more detail. Image and info from H. Franklin Andrews, A Genealogy of James Hamlin of Barnstable, Massachusetts, Eldest Son of James Hamlin, the Immigrant, Who Came from London, England and Settled in Barnstable 1639, 1639-1902 (Extra, IA: author, 1902), p. 582, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BLAKE, HARRISON
Twice a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant, Harrison was born in Turner, ME in 1805 and his parents were said to have married there. The family was in Hartford, ME by 1808, Otisfield, ME before 1821, moving to Harrison, ME that year. Note: This was originally written while I was traveling, so my sources were the book from which this image was taken and the web site Alden Kindred. The latter took the line as far as the birth of Eunice Cary, the supposed mother of Harrison Blake and a quick check of the next couple of Blake, Brett, and Cary generations on the NEHGS site matched what was claimed for Harrison. That line, working backwards from Harrison's mother, is: Eunice (Cary) Blake, Daniel Cary, Susanna (Bass) Cary, Jonathan Bass, Samuel Bass, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Susanna did turn out to be in the Alden silver book and the newest Alden book, Vol. 4 (Ruth Alden Bass), revealed that Daniel Cary married Mehitable Brett, also an Alden-Mullins. (Her father Simeon's Revolutionary War service makes descendants eligible for DAR & SAR membership.) That line runs: Eunice (Cary) Blake, Mehitable (Brett) Cary, Simeon Brett, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The author also claimed a relationship to Gov. John Carver of the Mayflower, presumably on the say-so of the Blakes of Harrison, but Carver left no children. However, the lineage is partially correct in naming Harrison a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley. See Harrison Blake's writeup in that section for details.

Bogardus, Washington A. H. & Washington Everardus
Father Washington A. H. Bogardus (1858-1902) and son Washington Everardus (b. 1896) below, were named for Sr.'s grandfather of the same name, descendant of 1633 New York Dutch minister immigrant Everardus Bogardus. Washington Sr. is a 10/11 Alden-Mullins and Gen 10 Rogers. The Alden silver book for this line ends with Gen 6 Constant Searle of Little Compton, RI - known to have had children & grandchildren - but the book from which this photo comes picks up at Gen 7, James "Searles," who married Abigail Thurston and moved to Bennington, VT, where they had James Harvey "Searles." Somehow they had to lose the S and make those moves, plus one to Jefferson Co, NY by 1837 so that James Harvey's daughter Martha Eliza could be born there and marry Washington's father Robert by 1856. Alden Kindred's 8 Generations database, which does not claim to be perfect, made this evidence-free link. It gets to James and Abigail, but for the rest we are going on faith until a Bogardus family member can verify this line with vital records. It might help that Washington Jr. was heading for RI and St. George's College when this book was written. His last known whereabouts were Hawaii, living in the same household as his wife's parents in the 1920 U.S. census. Theoretically the line runs: Martha Eliza (Searles) Bogardus, James Harvey Searles, James, Constant, Nathaniel, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & the Mullinses.

Bogardus, Washington Everardus (See Washington A. H. Bogardus, above.)
Bonney, Elliot Lincoln
A Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant - twice - of Generation 9 - twice- of George Soule and Myles Standish, lawyer Elliot Bonney (b. 1856) came by all his Mayflower heritage through his paternal grandmother, Frances "Fanny" (Churchill) Bonney. She was daughter of Saba Soule (1773-1839) and Oliver Churchill (1766-1851), who do appear in the Soule pink book. Saba and Oliver were second cousins, descendants of Benjamin Soule and Sarah Standish. Fanny's grandfather James Churchill (b. 1746) had also married a Soule, Priscilla, daughter and granddaughter of a Benjamin Soule. Sarah (Standish) Soule was a descendent of Myles Standish's son Alexander, who married Sarah Alden, daughter of John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The most recent generations of Churchills lived in Plympton, as did Elliot Bonney. Image & info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 839, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
BOSWORTH, RUTH A.
Ruth A. (Bosworth) Palmer (1831-1909) was a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins plus a Warren and Brewster, like her distant cousin Tillson Lever Harrison of Canada, below. This is one of those rare Mayflower families that wound up in the South (KY.) Ruth was born in Meigs Co, OH, where her parents and paternal grandparents are buried but she and her husband Jesse Palmer (1829-1891) moved to KY by 1873 and died there, supposedly buried in separate counties. Assuming everything in this book is correct (I can't verify much from OH & KY using the NEHGS site) this line would run: Ruth (Tilson) Bosworth, Joseph Tilson, John, Jennet/ Janet (Murdock) Tilson, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock/Murdoch, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. The birth of John Tilson is in the Alden silver book, part 2. Image and info from Mercer V. Tilson, The Tilson Genealogy, from Edmund Tilson at Plymouth, N. E., 1638-1911, with Brief Sketches of the Family in England Back to 1066 (Plymouth: Memorial Press, 1911), pp. 242, 249-51, digitized by the NY Public Library.

E., 1638-1911, with Brief Sketches of the Family in England Back to 1066 (Plymouth: Memorial Press, 1911), pp. 242, 249-51, digitized by the NY Public Library.
BOYDEN, EDWARD ALLEN & ETHEL
Siblings Ethel (b 1879) and Edward A. (b 1886) were the children and grandchildren of the father & son heads of Bridgewater Normal School (now Bridgewater State University in Plymouth County, MA.) Ethel, Class of 1902, appears in this 1899 class photo and Edward is in the baseball team's 1907 group photo. Neither appear to have married but their Mayflower ancestry was through their mother Kate Allen's mother Betsy Babbitt of Bristol Co, MA, so as long as Betsy or Kate were not an only child, you might be able to find a link if you think you are related. In addition to Alden-Mullins they were Billington, Brown, Eaton, Samuel Fuller, and Hopkins descendants. (See those sections on this website for the other lines and for other pictures of Edward.) Their Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: Catherine C[hipman] (Allen) Boyden, Betsy (Babbitt) Allen, Joannah Tilden (Fuller) Bassett, Consider Fuller, Elizabeth (Weston) Fuller, Jonathan Weston, Deborah (Delano) Weston, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins + her father William of the Mayflower. I have found no link between their mother's maiden name and John Howland but did not look hard. Also, for some reason, Elizabeth Weston does not come up 5th generation silver book digitization on americanancestors.org, aka the NEHGS, even though she is in volume 1 of the Alden books. Images from the Historical Photographs Collection, Bridgewater State University Library, and posted online by Digital Commonwealth. You can see a 1935 photo of Edward, who became a distinguished professor of anatomy, on the Smithsonian Institution's website as well. His WWI draft card stated that he was 5'9" tall, weighed 180 lbs, had "blonde" hair and "gray" eyes. |

BOYDEN, ETHEL (See Edward Allen Boyden, above.)
Bradford, Cornelius Francis
Although Cornelius was twice a Generation 8 Bradford, Governor William's grandson Israel added diversity by marrying Sarah Bartlett, a Gen 4/5 Alden and Gen 5 Warren & Brewster descendant. The Alden silver book takes the line as far as Sarah & Israel's grandson, the first Cornelius Bradford. The Bradford silver book takes the line as far as this subject's grandfather, the second Cornelius Bradford, born Friendship, ME, after 1784. For more information see Cornelius's Bradford and Brewster entries on this web site. Info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 3 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1306, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Bradford, Edward Standish
Massachusetts Treasurer Edward Bradford was a Generation 9/10 Alden/Mullins descendant through the marriage of Myles and Rose Standish's son Alexander to Sarah Alden, daughter of John and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden. He was a Generation 9 Standish via his paternal grandmother, Mary (Standish) Bradford. Mary's connection was Shadrach Standish, Ebenezer, Zachariah, Ebenezer, Alexander, Capt. Myles Standish of the Mayflower and wife Rose. The Standish silver book gets through "Shadrack" Standish, Gen 6 (whom the 2016 Alden book, part 5, calls "Shadrach.") Edward was a Gen 9 Bradford descendant via his father, Shadrach Standish Bradford, and the Bradford silver book leaves off with the younger Gideon Bradford, b. Plympton 1752, grandfather of Shadrach. Edward was also a Soule and Warren descendant via his father.

BRAINERD, GEORGE BRADFORD
A combination of searching on the NEHGS, various silver books, and the DAR's GRS (Genealogical Research System) reveals that George is more or less what the author of the Brainerd book says, but it's he and not his mother who was the Gen. 8 Bradford. See that writeup for the details. George is also a double Alden-Mullins and a Rogers descendant. His Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs: Rebecca (Bradford) Brainerd, Joel Bradford, Jeremiah Bradford, Priscilla (Wiswall) Bradford, Priscilla (Pabodie) Wiswall, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. His Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs: Rebecca (Bradford) Brainerd, Joel Bradford, Jeremiah, Gershom Bradford, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla.

BRAMHALL, GRACE
The photo on the left was cropped from a larger one on Digital Commonwealth showing Grace Bramhall (b 1874) and a group of other female college students on an outing in 1894. Frustratingly, she was the only one named and the writeup on the photo is of "Nine Plymouth girls.... presumably all from Plymouth." You are probably looking at an array of Standishes, Aldens, etc. Her lines were unusually difficult to trace quickly, possibly because her grandfather Benjamin Bramhall seems to have been a different Benjamin than the one who married into the Warrens and numerous other Mayflower families. However, if you can find his parents you may find pilgrim stock there, too. Grace's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs: Robert Eldridge Bramhall, Mary (Weston) Bramhall, Elkanah Weston, Hannah (Curtis) Weston, Dorothy (Delano) Curtis, Jonathan Delano, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. See Grace's writeup in the Soule & Doty sections for those Gen 9 lineages. This and other images of Grace can be seen courtesy the Bridgewater State University, Maxwell Library, digitized on Digital Commonwealth.

BREITLING, JOSEPH CUSHMAN
Grandson of a German immigrant to Mobile, AL and son of a Confederate soldier, Joseph had a middle name and MA upbringing that made him relatively easy to trace. The book with this image names his maternal grandparents & great grandparents, then with a little help from the DAR database I found the birth of his great-great grandfather in the Allerton silver book. That revealed the Alden-Mullins, Standish, Cooke, & Hopkins links. The Hopkins book reveals a Howland-Tilley link. Joseph's Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: Katherine Elizabeth (Cushman) Breitling, Thaddeus Thompson Cushman, Levi, Isaiah, Sarah (Ring) Cushman, Zerviah (Standish) Ring, Ebenezer Standish, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. If you want more photos and more info, Joseph (b. 1874) and grandfather Thaddeus were both M.D.s so will have left a paper trail in ME and VT. The Thompson lead is worth pursuing for more Cooke ancestry in particular. Image & info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1904), pp. 99-101, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

BRETT, CHARLES SPAFFORD
He died quite young (22) but was memorialized in the Brett family genealogy, which included this picture. Charles (1870-1892) was born in Rockford, IL and died in St. Louis, MO, not far away and perhaps he left siblings or cousins. One of his Alden-Mullins line is covered through the birth of the man stated to be his great-great grandfather (Rufus Brett b Bridgewater, MA 1751) and another through the birth of Rufus's wife Susannah Cary, so if you are a descendant on this line you still have quite a bit of vital records and other legal documents to find but there may be Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War pension documents that would be of great aid. Assuming the names in this book are correct, his first Gen 10/11 line runs: Frederick E. Brett, Rufus, Ezra, Rufus (b 1751), Simeon, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus her father William. The second runs: Frederick E. Brett, Rufus, Ezra, Susannah (Cary) Brett, Susanna (Bass) Cary, Jonathan Bass, Samuel, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John & Priscilla + William again. Images and info from L. B. Goodenow, The Brett Genealogy (Cambridge: Murray & Emery, 1915), pp. 139-40, 190-1, 257-8, 316-7 350-1, digitized by HathiTrust.

BRETT, CYRUS HAMLIN & RUFUS
Brothers, they have the same line as Charles Spafford Brett, above, but two generations fewer because Rufus is Charles's grandfather. Thus Cyrus (1808-1898) and Rufus (1806-1887) of Oxford County, ME were both Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendants TWICE. If you apply for Mayflower Society membership, you can later do supplemental applications for those duplicate lines. The book with these photos says that Rufus lived briefly in Knoxville, TN after the Civil War then returned to Maine. Cyrus moved to Minnesota in 1864 but died in Henry, South Dakota. He and his wife are said to be buried in Mankato, MN (where she died) but the death record you will need to prove descent will be in SD (good luck there.) Besides Charles, Rufus had several other children live to adulthood and marry. Look for daughters Phebe Florentine, Frances Augusta, and Alice Jeanette with husbands surnamed Prescott, Stuart, and Weston. Look for Cyrus's daughters Lucy Ann & Rachel Alice with husbands named Baker (brothers?) and seek Grace Porter Brett as a Mrs. Piper. For both of these lines, but especially Cyrus, be sure to look outside of Maine for vital, land, and probate records. See Charles Spafford Brett's writeup for the specifics about both lines.

Brett, Ellis
The marriage of the third-generation Brett in America, Seth, who lived to be just 34, to Sarah Alden, great-granddaughter of John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, would eventually make Ellis Brett a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins. The intervening Brett generations were Samuel, Isaac (the Alden silver book ends here), Joseph, and Ephraim Brett, all Bridgewater area folk. Since first posting this writeup. the expected additional maternal Alden line - Gen 8/9 - did turn up when Part 4 was published, linking his mother, Ruth Copeland, daughter of Ebenezer and Hannah (Godfrey) Copeland, to the Aldens as follows: Ruth (Copeland) Brett, Ebenezer Copeland, Ebenezer, Jonathan, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. A surprise bonus in Part 4 was learning that his mother brought a 3rd Alden-Mullins line to the table AND Bradford & Rogers lines. (See those section for the lineage.) Ellis's 3rd line, Gen 10/11, runs: Ruth (Copeland) Brett, Ebenezer Copeland, Anna/Abbe (Godfrey) Copeland, Mary (Gilbert) Godfrey, Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla. Image from L. B. Goodenow, The Brett Genealogy (Cambridge: Murray & Emery, 1915), p. 294, digitized by HathiTrust.
BRETT, EZRA CARY & VICTOR
Father and son, Ezra (1821-1894) was a judge, Secretary of the Senate, and Clerk of his county court in Maine and Col. Victor Brett (b. 1855) was City Clerk for Bangor. Victor supplied his family's data to the author of the book with these photos and considering he recorded the city's vital records the data is probably accurate. Given their public visibility, too, there are probably other photos of these men, possibly of Victor's son Howard (b. 1876.) Ezra's grandparents, Rufus Brett "and his brothers" were the first in the family to move from the Bridgewater, MA area to what is now Oxford Co., ME. (The footnote on page 96 says it was 2 of his 6 brothers, Amzi & Luther, "about 1799," and the 3 had "adjoining farms.) The Brett volume with these pictures says that Rufus was "of fine appearance, tall and robust." The Alden silver book series gets the line as far as the marriage of Rufus to Susanna Cary and reveals that Ezra, his son and his brother George Washington (below) were all double Alden-Mullins descendants, through Rufus and Susanna both. Ezra Cary Brett's's first Gen 8/9 line, starting with his father Ezra and running through Susanna is: Ezra Brett, Susanna (Cary) Brett, Susanna (Bass) Cary, Jonathan Bass, Samuel, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla / William Mullins. The other Gen 8/9 line, starting again with his father runs: Ezra Brett, Rufus, Simeon, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & the Mullinses of the Mayflower. Image and info from L. G. B. Goodenow, The Brett Genealogy I. The Bretts in England II. William Brett III.

BRETT, GEORGE WASHINGTON
Brother of Ezra Cary and uncle of Victor Brett, both above, George W. (b 1810) also was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, twice. See brother Ezra's writeup for the lineage and more about the family and source of this information. (George reportedly lived in CA & NV 1857-63 and it is not clear if his last few children were born there or in ME.) The page listing the brothers' births makes mention of their father Ezra Brett's (1779-1854) service as a quartermaster in the First Cavalry regiment raised during the War of 1812 and as a staff officer in the First Brigade of same. The author added: "Records on file at the Adjutant-General's office, Augusta, Me." That could mean there is a pension file and/or a bounty land warrant file at the National Archives in Washington full of genealogical evidence. If Ezra Sr. did get a land warrant, you can search the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office (BLM GLO) database and see if it turns up there and who actually used it. If you are from a branch of the family living in Arkansas, Illinois, and "thereabouts," this could be how your family came to be so far from Oxford Co., ME. Documenting Ezra Sr.'s service in any way makes you eligible to join the National Society U.S. Daughters of 1812 or the General Society War of the War of 1812, both lineage societies active in historical preservation (the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House and Ft.

BRETT, WILLIAM FRENCH
The book with this image informs the reader that William (1816-1882) and all other descendants of Gen 2 Nathanael Brett were Cookes via Nathanael's wife Sarah Hayward's mother, Sarah Mitchell, but that is incorrect. Sarah Sr. was the daughter of Experience Mitchell by his second wife, Mary ---, not by Jane Cooke. To make up for it, William has at least 2 Alden-Mullins lines to go with Howland-Tilley & Allerton lines. (See those sections for the lineages.) He is most closely related to the Bretts, Keiths, and Giffords on this page, so search those pictures for commonalities. He has a Keith line through his mother but the Alden-Mullins lines are through William's father as follows: Gen 8/9 Zenas Brett, William, Samuel, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (& William Mullins), all 3 of the Mayflower. Also Gen 9/10 2) Zenas Brett, Molly (Allen) Brett, Ezra Allen, Sarah (Brett) Allen, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John & the Mullinses are paternal lines. The births of grandfather William and great-grandfather Ezra are in the Alden silver book, Vol. 16, Part 3. William's paternal line mixed & mingled with the Packards of Bridgewater multiple times and he married a Packard, so he belongs to the "I Am My Own Cousin Club" and might have thus gifted his children with even more Alden-Mullins lines. He had 4 children who lived to adulthood and one of them married yet another Alden-Mullins descendant. Image & info from L. B.

BRETT, WILLIAM HOWARD
This Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant has an interesting background. His grandfather was the son of a minister who stood up to the local Tory bigshot, a Yale graduate who served as a surgeon's mate aboard ship during the Revolution, became a physician & community leader in NY state. His son & the son's wife joined one of the Utopian communities in OH in the early 1800s (leaving after a while), this one with abolitionist and temperance causes. Their son, William (1846-1918) was a Civil War combat veteran and apparently the mover & shaker behind the "open stack" system we take for granted in libraries. He trusted people and believed ordinary folks would not rob a library blind. If you've ever been to a research library you have had to write out a call slip indicating which book you want, a staff member fetched it from a locked room, and you read it under the steady gaze of a librarian who reminded you to keep your hands above the table at all times. You may have been asked to wear gloves. Civic libraries in the late 1800s weren't quite that anal, but around 1890 William made open stacks happen in Cleveland & changed public librarianship forever. This information is from a special edition of a professional journal for librarians, which put his picture (left) on the cover, included a tribute from Andrew Carnegie, and described his crowded funeral service, held after he had lain in state at the cathedral. Think about him the next time you pick up a book from a library shelf and browse. William's Alden-Mullins line runs: Morgan Lewis Brett, Joshua Howard Brett, Rev Silas Brett, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John & Priscilla (plus her father William Mullins.) The line is covered through the birth of Joshua in Part 3 of the Alden silver books.

Brewster, Alden Farley
This photo was taken of Alden (1877-1936) as a U.S. Military Academy cadet, class of 1901. It came from the USMA Library Digital Collection and to the best of my knowledge is public domain, though 2 attempts to verify this drew no response. The Library also has for download the Official Register of Officers & Cadets, which revealed that this Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant was born in IL around July 1877 (Chicago, July 30th, per an immigration document) but he was appointed from WI, so his family had moved. Working back from the 1880 census, which showed him age 3 in Waukesha County, I determined that the family directly beneath the William & Virginia Brewster family were Virginia's parents, Albert & Caroline Alden. William was born circa 1848 in MI to parents from MA. Albert was born about 1812 in ME to parents from ME. He proved easier to trace; the 1860 census showed him in WI as early as 1845. The Alden Kindred site had 3 Alberts born around the right time, two in ME, and the one in Portland, b. 1813, married a Caroline Fairservice from NY, which matched the census records. Albert was a Gen 6 Alden, son of John and Mehitable (Webb) Alden of Cumberland Co, ME. John's father David had migrated from Duxbury to ME and married there. John, Mehitable, etc. are in volume 1 of the Alden silver book. You can see his multiple Brewster lines, maternal and paternal, on the Brewster page. In May 2020, David Alden finally got his own silver book with Gens 6 & 7 from John & Priscilla, and that is now available from the GSMD in their online shop (top right in the pink bar.)

BREWSTER - BURTON B., LYMAN S., AND WARREN GEORGE
Yes, these images look less than 100 years old; they are from 1939. I am using them to show the potential for mining other public domain sites, in this case the LOC's WPA (Works Progress Administration) photos made for the U.S. Farm Security Administration, curated by Yale's Photogrammar project. These 3 brothers were all born in the west but to a Bostonian whose parents, etc. were all from Duxbury, according to NEHGS vital records online. They are Brewsters, yes, but also have Alden-Mullins genes (times three), plus Bradford, Rogers, Samson, and Warren ancestry. (See those sections for those lineages.) Burton B. (left, b ca 1903), Lyman S. (center, b 1900), and Warren G. (right, b ca 1898), and were all born in Wyoming, based on their 1910 & 1940 census records. Their mother Grace (---) (b Dec 1876, CO) had parents from CT & VT; her line is also worth tracing. Their Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line should run: George Brewster, Nathan Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Samson, Ruth (Bradford) Samson, Abigail (Bartlett) Samson, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Their Gen 11/12 line would be: George Brewster, Nathan Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Samson, Ruth (Bradford) Samson, Gamaliel Bradford, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla. Their Gen 12/13 line looks like: George Brewster, Nathan Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Samson, Ruth (Bradford) Samson, Elijah Samson, Priscilla (Bartlett) Samson, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla again.

BRIDGHAM, THOMAS SYDENHAM (See William Bridgham Jr., below.)
BRIDGHAM - WILLIAM JR. & THOMAS SYDENHAM
William was the son and great grandson of MA physicians and became one in Oxford County, ME, where his grandson Thomas later practiced law. The 1756 Rehoboth, MA birth of William's father is in the Alden-Mullins silver book and his Revolutionary War pension file documents his birth, service, and the extended Brigham clan's subsequent move to Maine after William Jr.'s birth in 1780. If you spot other Bridghams in the area they are likely relatives and also Alden-Mullins descendants. The Gen 7/8 line of Dr. William Jr. (1780-1864) runs as follows, beginning with his father: William Bridgham, John, Abigail (Willard) Bridhgam, Elizabeth (Alden) Willard, John Alden, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. Thomas (b. 1836) would be Gen 9/10, through Dr. William's son Sydenham Bridgham (1808-1882.) Image & info from Alfred Cole & Charles H. Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, from the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), pp. 344-6, 351, 353, 544-5.

Capen, Samuel Billings
Due to the marriage of two first cousins in the 1700s, Samuel is twice a Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant. Ruth and Joseph Thayer were sister and brother. The former married a Capen and the latter had a daughter who married that Capen's son. One Gen 8/9 line runs: Samuel Childs Capen, Samuel, Christopher, Ruth (Thayer) Capen, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John & Priscilla. The second runs: Samuel Childs Capen, Samuel, Abigail (Thayer) Capen, Joseph Thayer, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John & Priscilla. The publication of Part 4 in the Alden silver books since this was posted brings the GSMD's published lineage for this family to the birth and marriages of Samuel Billings Capen's grandfather, Samuel, b. 1760 in Stoughton, MA. He is in the DAR database and they happen to be looking for more descendants to apply and re-prove that line since the records on him date to the early years of the DAR. Capen descendants, take heed!

CARPENTER, BENJAMIN
The marriage of his parents, as described in the book from which this image was taken, is in the Alden Silver Book, part 3, with roughly the same detail except for mention of the fact that his grandmother's remarriage after the death of her first husband made his parent step-siblings. Benjamin had four Alden-Mullins lines, as a Gen. 7/8, twice an 8/9, and a 9/10 descendant. (See the Brewster & Warren sections for those lines.) Benjamin, it is written, was b. 1806 in Manlius, NY, married twice, then died in Chicago in 1881. He was described as a lawyer, businessman, churchman, and abolitionist. He may have married sisters, as both wives' are listed with the maiden name of "Hayes." One Alden-Mullins lines runs: Charlotte B. (Alden) Carpenter, Jonathan Alden, Seth, Jonathan, Jonathan, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. A second runs: Charlotte B. (Alden) Carpenter, Jonathan Alden, Seth, Lydia (Alden) Alden, Andrew, Jonathan, John & Priscilla. A third runs: Charlotte B. (Alden) Carpenter, Sarah (Bartlett) Alden, Susannah (Southworth) Bartlett, Jedediah Southworth, Sarah (Alden) Southworth, Jonathan Alden, John & Priscilla. His fourth runs: Charlotte B. (Alden) Carpenter, Sarah (Bartlett) Alden, Susannah (Southworth) Bartlett, Jedediah Southworth, Thomas Southworth, Mary (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla. Whew! Perhaps the extra Jonathans were confusing, but Charlotte's father was NOT the grandson of Pilgrim John Alden as the author stated. One hundred thirty-one years is just too big an age gap.

Carpenter, A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America, Brought Down from their English Ancestor, John Carpenter, 1303, with Many Biographical Notes of Descendants and Allied Families (Amherst: Carpenter & Morehouse, 1898), pp. 153, 275, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CARY, BARZILLAI
Son of Barzillai and Vashti (Snell) Cary, this Barzillai is both a Generation 7/8 and 8/9 Alden-Mullins. His grandfather Moses Cary and his mother Vashti Snell are both noted as Generation 6/7 descendants in part 3 of the Alden silver books. Barzillai's Gen 7/8 line runs: Vashti (Snell) Cary, Nathan Snell, Josiah, Anna (Alden) Snell, Jonathan Alden, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. His Gen 8/9 line, beginning with his father of the same name, is: Barzillai Cary, Moses, Jonathan, Mary (Crossman) Cary, Sarah (Alden) Crossman, Joseph Alden, John & Priscilla. Vashti's mother Betty (Howard) Snell is described as a Generation 7 Chilton, which would make Barzillai Cary a Gen 9 descendant of pilgrim James Chilton. (See that section for the Chilton line.) This image & info on his Cary forebears came from Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 87 in the Biographical section at the very end, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library.

CARY, OTIS & REV. OTIS
Great-grandson of deacon Recompense Cary, the Hon. Otis Cary (father of Rev. Otis) was a Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins and a Gen 8 descendant of pilgrim Thomas Rogers. His mother, Hannah (Alden) Cary is in Part 3 of the Alden Silver Book and you can find her marriage to James Cary on the NEHGS site. Otis's Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Hannah (Alden) Cary, Samuel Alden, Samuel, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. (See Otis's Rogers writeup for their other line.) Rev. Otis (b 1851 Foxboro, MA) was a missionary to Japan and taught in a seminary there for decades, beginning in the late 1800s. He was living when the book with his photo was published and the author noted he had 4 children then in the U.S., 3 of them (George E., Walter, and Frank) college age.

CHURCHILL - WINSLOW, ISAAC BRADFORD, LURANA & CHRISTIANA, and AMOS
Above left, Presbyterian deacon Winslow Churchill (1770-1847) was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins thanks to a marriage between great-grandfather Israel Bradford and great-grandmother Sarah Bartlett. (See relevant sections for descriptions of his Bradford, Warren, and Brewster lines.) Moving right, Winslow was the father of Isaac Bradford Churchill (b. 1818) and fraternal twin sisters Lurana and Christiana (b. 1802), and the grandfather of Isaac B.'s son, Lt. Amos Churchill (b. 1842) on the far right. Lurana (Churchill) Akerman and Christiana (Churchill) (Ketchum) were photographed at roughly 90 years old and at one point in the 1890s were reportedly billed as the oldest living twins in America. There are probably Civil War era photos of a younger Amos with either of his 2 army units and a pension file at the National Archives with useful genealogical records. Deacon Winslow's Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Melatiah (Bradford) Churchill, Joshua Bradford, Sarah (Bartlett) Bradford, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. His father Isaac Churchill started the family's outmigration from MA, first to VT, then NY, then IL. If you know of any Churchill-Winslow connection beyond homage to the Mayflower pilgrims that would account for this name, let me know.

CLAPP, CLIFT ROGERS
Clift (b. Scituate, MA 1861) was a Gen. 10/11 Alden-Mullins via his maternal great-great grandmother, Abigail Tilden, as well as a quadruple Warren, a Doty, and a Bradford. His people were in the Marshfield area for centuries so are not hard to trace on the NEHGS. Abigail's birth is in Alden silver book Part 2, which mentions the other lines. Her daughter Abigail's birth and marriage are in the Doty book. The Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Frances Abigail OR Abigail Frances (Rogers) Clapp, Luther Rogers, Jr., Abigail Little (Tilden) Rogers, Abigail (Little) Tilden, Thomas Little, Constant (Fobes) Little, Martha (Pabodie) Fobes, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (and her father William), of the Mayflower. Image and a little info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated) (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), p. 63, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

CLAPP, LOUISE
Louise's case for being a Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins and Gen 11 Rogers descendant is based on her actually being Emma Louise Clapp, born in Taunton in 1898 to Augustus Clapp & Mary E. Coe. Assuming this is the case, here is the line: Mary E. (Coe) Clapp, Jerome W. Coe, Alden, Benjamin, John, John Coe, Sarah (Pabodie) Coe, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Prisilla Mullins (with father William), all of the Mayflower. There are vital records on the NEHGS for the alleged Louise's parents on through Alden Coe, but you will need to show that Benjamin is identical to the one born to John Coe sometime after 1780 in the Smithfield, RI area. See the Rogers section for speculation on that line. Image (only) from The Journal (Taunton High School, 1917), p. 12, digitized on the Internet Archive.

COLCORD, AMMI MITCHELL, JANE, OTIS BRIGGS, & WILLIAM SAMPSON
The Colcord genealogy contains nothing more about Gen 7/8 Ammi (above, left) than his picture, birth year (1824), and first name ("Ami") among the list of children of Daniel and Mehitable (Sampson) Colcord, and the statement that in 1908 he was living in Bunker Hill, IL. (Both the Samson book and the 1900 census say that Ammi was born in 1820.) The marriage of the siblings' parents is in the 2016 Alden silver book Part 5, and Ammi, sister Jane (second from left, b. 1819), brothers William S. (far right, b. 1815), and Otis (second from right, b. 1817-18) are written up in part 3 of the Samson Silver Books, along with brother Samuel (b. 1811, below.) The author of the Colcord book says that the parents were "of Exeter, NH" and the Samson silver book has only the oldest 2 siblings born there. The younger sibs were supposedly born in Yarmouth, ME. I see no source cited for this info, however, so if you are a descendant, please try to verify one or the other. Jane, Otis, William, and Samuel also wound up in IL specifically Greenville, so look there also for Colcord data. This line runs as follows: Mehitable (Samson) Colcord, Michael/Micah Samson, Caleb, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. See the Samson, Standish, and Rogers sections for those lines. Image and info from Doane B. Colcord, Colcord Genealogy, Descendants of Edward Colcord of New Hampshire, 1630 to 1908 (Coudersport, PA: Mahlon J. Colcord, 1908), pp. 52-3, 81-3, 85, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

COLCORD - SAMUEL, ABIGAIL ELIZABETH & (REV.) SAMUEL
On the left, Samuel Colcord (b. 1811 in Exeter, Rockingham Co, NH) was the brother of Ammi, Jane, Otis, & William (above) and father of Abigail Elizabeth & Rev. Samuel Colcord, to the right. Samuel Sr. was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins, 6 Samson, 7 Standish, and 8 Rogers. Like his siblings, Samuel Sr.'s Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs: Mehitable (Samson) Colcord, Michael/Micah Samson, Caleb, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. (See the other sections for his and his children's Samson, Standish, and Rogers lineages.) Samuel and son are in the Samson Silver Book but daughter Abigail was not because the source used was the 1860 census, when she had been married for several years to William T. Carson. Abigail is in the 1850 FC for IL, though, age 13, b. ME, and she is in the 2016 Alden silver book part 5. The future Rev. Samuel was born in 1849, according to the Colcord author, and was a minister and in New York City and husband to Alice Blinn from that area. The author wrote of a series of lectures culminating in a public debate with an agnostic that drew a big crowd. It may have been covered by the newspapers there in 1895, possibly with photos. Images and info from Doane B. Colcord, Colcord Genealogy, Descendants of Edward Colcord of New Hampshire, 1630 to 1908 (Coudersport, PA: Mahlon J.

COLLAMORE, GEORGE ENOCH & GILMAN
George Enoch (named for both his grandfathers) and brother Gilman Collamore were Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendants as well as Gen. 7 Doty and Gen. 8 Warren descendants. George was born in Gilman Plain, MA 1828 and Gilman in 1834. They died in 1881 & 1888, respectively. Like an older half-brother, John, they were in the china and glass business, but in NY City, where both died. The book from which these photos were taken has Collamore cousins that follow three different Doty lines and 2 different Warren lines. It is actually the Doty silver book that gets the farthest with this family, as it records the marriage of George Little and Rachel Rogers, the parents of Polly (Little) Collamore (ca 1789-1869), second wife of Col. John Collamore and mother of Gilman and George. The brothers' Alden-Mullins line runs: Polly (Little) Collamore, George Little, John, Lemuel, Constant (Fobes) Little, Martha (Pabodie) Fobes, Elizabeth (Alden) Fobes, Pilgrims John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See their Warren & Doty writeups for more detail.

COOLIDGE, (JOHN) CALVIN, JR.
Yes, this is the Calvin Coolidge who later became president of the United States. Here, though, he is a 36-year- old MA state congressman (L) and a 28-year-old Hampshire Co. title examiner (R). He was a Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins and a Gen 10 Doty. The Alden silver book will only get you as far as Gen 5, but the Doty book goes thru Gen 6 and the rest is online. "Silent Cal's" Alden-Mullins line runs: Victoria Josephine (Moor) Coolidge, Abigail (Franklin) Moor, Priscilla (Pinney/Penney) Franklin, Jonathan Pinney/Penney, Elizabeth (Delano) Penney, Jonathan Delano, Jonathan, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & the Mullinses.

Yes, this is the Calvin Coolidge who later became president of the United States. Here, though, he is a 36-year- old MA state congressman (L) and a 28-year-old Hampshire Co. title examiner (R). He was a Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins and a Gen 10 Doty. The Alden silver book will only get you as far as Gen 5, but the Doty book goes thru Gen 6 and the rest is online. "Silent Cal's" Alden-Mullins line runs: Victoria Josephine (Moor) Coolidge, Abigail (Franklin) Moor, Priscilla (Pinney/Penney) Franklin, Jonathan Pinney/Penney, Elizabeth (Delano) Penney, Jonathan Delano, Jonathan, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & the Mullinses.

COPELAND, ALFRED
Alfred is a Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins and his birth and marriage to Mary Williams are in the Alden Silver Book, vol. 4. This image is from the cover of a family reunion booklet, thus the odd color. When downloaded his picture is a total blur, so this is a screen shot from Internet Archive. A better image would certainly be welcome. He seems to be wearing some kind of close-fitting black cap or perhaps a black wig. Below the image is his span of years and it looks like "1782-1857." The reunion was in Illinois so I suspect Alfred and Mary made it out to the Midwest, so look for your ancestors there if this is your line. Alfred's ancestral line runs: Daniel Copeland, Jonathan, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Image of "Proceedings of the Fourth Reunion of the Copeland Clan and the Descendants of Alfred and Mary Williams Copeland" (Rockford IL: 1920), cover, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

COPELAND - DAVIS, HEMAN, & IRA
Born in West Bridgewater, 1835, Davis (above left) was the middle brother, Heman (b 1843) the youngest and Ira, on the right (b 1831), the oldest. The three were Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins and Gen. 9 Warren descendants thanks to their father Francis and Gen. 9 Cooke, Hopkins & Billington courtesy of their mother Judith Washburn (Kingman) Copeland. (See the Warren, Cooke, Hopkins, & Billington sections for those lines.) The Alden silver book Part 4 gets as far as the 1762 birth of their grandfather, Asa Copeland, and his 1792 Bridgewater, MA marriage to Persis Howard. The brothers' Alden-Mullins line thus runs: Francis Copeland, Asa, Jonathan, Jr. Jonathan Copeland, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Image & info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 632-4, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

COPELAND, HEMAN (See Davis Copeland, above.)
Copeland, Horatio Franklin
Dr. Copeland of Easton (b. 1842) was twice a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins. His great-grandparents, Elijah Copeland and Rhoda Snell were both Generation 5 via different children of John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. They appear in the Alden silver book Part 1 and their son Josiah Copeland of Bridgewater (who married Susanna Hayward) is in Part 4. If you were submitting this line to any lineage society you would have to document the rest but Bridgewater vital records are plentiful and many Easton records can also be found on the NEHGS. The birth and death of Horatio's alleged father turned up in seconds and matches, and Horatio Franklin Copeland's biographical info is there, but you need to verify his parents. According to the book from which this picture was taken, Horatio Franklin, a medical doctor, was the son of Horatio Copeland and Delia Nye. He was still living when this book was published, so no older than 70. (Note the more modern necktie.) Dr. Copeland's lines run: Horatio Copeland, Josiah, Elijah, Jonathan, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower and Horatio, Josiah, Rhoda (Snell) Copeland, Josiah Snell, Anna (Alden) Snell, Jonathan Alden, John & Priscilla.

COPELAND, IRA (See Davis Copeland, above.)
CORNISH, ELLIS H.
I believe the "H." was for "Holmes" because his maternal grandfather was an Ellis Holmes but then again his own father was Ellis Cornish so maybe it was one of each. A physician, Ellis H. Cornish (1840-1910) was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins and the marriage of those maternal grandparents (Ellis Holmes & Lucy Copeland) is in the Alden silver book Part 4. Lucy was the last child of parents Joseph Copeland & Rebecca Hooper, born when Mom was 46, thus the number of generations between Dr. Cornish and his pilgrim(s) is shorter than would be expected for someone who died in the 20th century. His line runs: Sally/Sarah (Holmes) Cornish, Lucy (Copeland) Holmes, Joseph Copeland, Jonathan, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Image and years of death and birth from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), pp. 289, 320, digitized by U MA, Amherst but the vital records were all from the NEHGS online.

CURTIS, WALTER MOLBRAY
Assuming it was he who provided the biographical info to the author of the book with this image, Walter (b. S. Abington, MA 1879) knew that he was a Bradford descendant and thought he as a White, but missed Henry Samson, John Alden, William & Priscilla Mullins, Myles Standish, Richard Warren, and George Soule. See his Soule writeup for a bit more information and the other pilgrim writeups for those lineages. Here is Walter's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line: Ella A. (White) Curtis, Polly Bradford (Sherman) White, Sabra Soule (Bradford) Sherman, Asaph Soule, Ebenezer, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden and William & Priscilla Mullins, all 3 of the Mayflower.

CUSHMAN, AUSTIN SPRAGUE & ROBERT WOODWARD
Son & father, Austin S. Cushman, left, appears in his role as Department Commander, i.e. state leader for MA of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in 1867. He was then 40. His father Rev. Robert Woodward Cushman (b. 1800 Woolwich, ME), right, was cousin of David Quimby Cushman, below. The author of the book from which this image comes must be either a fan or a family member because he devoted over 20 pages to Robert's work as a minister. To figure out all Robert's Pilgrim lines required a combination of vital records, an article in the NEHGS's Register, the Cushman family history and the GSMD's Delano "Green Books." Austin's mother, Lucy (Sprague) Cushman, was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins and Gen. 7 Standish descendant. (The Standish Silver Book gets as far as the birth of her mother, Deborah. Henry Wyles Cushman on p. 51 mistakenly described Lucy as the daughter of her own brother, "the Hon. Seth Sprague.") So, Robert was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins and his son Gen 8/9 & 9/10. Robert & Austin also had Howland-Tilley, Billington, Allerton, & Soule lines that can see in the relevant sections. Beginning with Robert's father their Alden-Mullins line runs: Job Cushman, Martha (Delano) Cushman, Joshua Delano, Martha (Simmons) Delano, Mercy (Pabodie) Simmons, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Austin's additional, maternal line runs: Lucy (Sprague) Cushman, Deborah (Sampson) Sprague, Abner Samson, Nathaniel, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla.

CUSHMAN, DAVID & DAVID QUIMBY
David Sr.(b. 1806, ME) was father of Rev. David Quimby Cushman (right) and cousin of Robert Woodward Cushman (above.) David was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins and a Billington, Allerton, Howland-Tilley, and Soule. The image shows him at age 48 and was made from a daguerrotype. The author included a lengthy autobiography. D. Q. was an active member of the NEHGS and according to his obit in the NEHGR, David Sr.'s paternal line was Kenelm, Robert, Robert, Robert, Thomas, Thomas, Robert Cushman. The first Thomas married Mary Allerton (Gen. 2), and the second Thomas married a Howland-Tilley daughter (Ruth). The second Robert of the three married Mercy Washburn, whose mother was Lydia Billington. The Billington & Allerton Silver Book leave off at Robert 2, Mercy, & son Robert 3 but the Howland Silver Book (23:1:187) reveals that the third Robert married a Martha Delano. Her entry as #203 in the GSMD's Delano "Green Books" and points out the Alden-Mullins and a Soule line as well. Thus the Alden-Mullins line runs: Kenelm Cushman, Martha (Delano) Cushman, Joshua Delano, Martha (Simmons) Delano, Mercy (Pabodie) Simmons, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Father's image and info from Henry Wyles Cushman, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans etc., pp. 376-81. Son's from the book he wrote, The History of Ancient Sheepscot and New Castle [ME] (Bath, ME: Upton, 1882), frontispiece. Digitized by the Library of Congress. |

CUSHMAN - EMERY, EMERY EUGENE, & HENRY W.
Emery Cushman (far left, above) was a distant cousin of David Quimby Cushman (see above) and the father of Emery Eugene (center, b Acushnet 1866) and Henry W. Cushman (right, b Acushnet 1859.) Born in Duxbury, MA in 1814, father Emery was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins and a Gen 8 Standish, plus a triple Gen 7 & single Gen 8 Soule, Gen. 8 Allerton, and Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley. (See those writeups for the lineages.) Emery's Alden-Mullins (and Standish) lines are on his mother's side, and are not noted in any of the GSMD's Silver, Pink, & Green (Delano) books so you won't find them unless you bother to look for Emery's mother on the NEHGS online. Always bother to do that. The Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Betty (Thomas) Cushman, Rachel (Weston) Thomas, Rebecca (Standish) Weston, Moses Standish, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Images and info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 278-80 digitized by the Library of Congress.

CUSHMAN, GEORGE HOMER
His picture is on Digital Commonwealth as "Mr. G. H. Cushman," courtesy of the Brockton, MA Public Library, but there was only one G. H. Cushman in town then. He was an Alden-Mullins, Allerton, Brewster, Cooke, Doty, Hopkins, and Warren descendant. (See those sections for the lineages.) His wife, Rachel B. Jones (1822-1894), was also on Digital Commonwealth as "Mrs. G. H. Cushman" but George (1820-1900) had just the one wife, Rachel B. Jones. (See her writeup below and in the Chilton and Cooke sections.) George's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with his mother, runs as follows: Rebecca (Stetson) Cushman, Huldah (Brewster) Stetson, Wrestling Brewster Jr., Deborah (Seabury) Brewster, Deborah (Wiswall) Seabury, Patricia (Pabodie) Wiswall, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla (+ William) Mullins. There were four Wrestling Brewsters in a row, and this final one does show up in the online vital records as "Jr." consistently. His 1770 birth is in the Alden silver book.

CUSHMAN, HERCULES
The Hon. Hercules Cushman (1785-1832), shown here at age 44 (1829), was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins, Gen. 7 Cooke, Soule, Standish & Eaton, and Gen. 8 Priest descendant, on his mother's side and a Gen. 8 Warren and Gen 7 Allerton on his father's side. The image at top left is a scan of an engraving of a Daguerrotype of an oil painting done from life. Hercules's Alden-Mullins line runs: Mercy (Soule) Cushman, Jabez Soule, Zachariah, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book gets as far as the marriage of grandparents Jabez & Abigail (Bennett) Soule and the Soule pink book (#323 ii) covers the marriage of their daughter Mercy to Noah Cushman. See Hercules' other write-ups for more details. Image and info from Henry Wyles Cushman, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans etc., pp. 167, 283, 288, 289-292, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CUSHMAN, ROBERT WOODWARD (See Austin Sprague Cushman, above.)
DAVIS, RICHARD & RICHARD JR.
Richard (1814-1877), left, is related to Nathaniel Sprague Spooner and Capt. Walter Spooner, below, through his mother, Ruth (Spooner) Davis, wife of Nicholas Davis 3rd. Their marriage is in the 2020 (David) Alden silver book, p. 2. There were several Nicholases and several Timothys in that Davis family (descendants of Dolor Davis of Cape Cod) so vital records weren't especially helpful and many are buried in the same Friends cemetery at Long Plain. I have not found the correct Davis grandparents with certainty but Richard may have Cooke ancestry. Here is his Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line: Ruth (Spooner) Davis, Alden Spooner, Alathea (Sprague) Spooner, Noah Sprague, Ruth (Alden) Sprague, David Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. His son grocer Richard Jr. (b. 1847), right, is Gen. 9/10. His mother's Chase lineage is worth checking.

DAVIS, RICHARD JR. (See Richard Davis)
DAVISON, ALDEN
Alden led a too-brief life, cut short during WWI when he was killed while training as a military pilot at Hicks Field, TX in 1917, age 22. You can find him on findagrave.com and on fold3.com but he does not turn up on his parents' or his brother Admiral Thurlow Weed Davison's findagrave writeups, which is sad. Alden's picture is courtesy of The Archive of the AFS Foundation at AFS's virtual museum, https://the-afs-archive.org/. I happened upon that site while researching distant cousin Ralph Summer Richardson (below) and decided to do a word search. Voila! "Alden" turned up this man, who also served as an ambulance driver in France before the U.S. entered the war. Alden's WWI draft card described him as "tall" and of a "medium" build, with "gray" eyes and "brown" hair. His (and brother Thurlow's) Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows, starting with their mother: Marie (Alden) Davison, Ogden Mosely Alden, Darius, Elisha, Noah, John, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (+father Wm) of the Mayflower. The birth of Darius is in the Alden silver book series and there you learn about the family's earlier migration to CT and the various wives, occupations, military service, etc. At least one ancestor, Elisha Alden, qualifies descendants for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) or if a minor, Children of the American Revolution (CAR).

Dawes, John
Hon. John Dawes of Harrison, ME (1803-1892) was a Gen 8/9 Alden/Mullins descendant of via his mother, Mary (Packard) Dawes. Mary's grandfather James Packard and grandmother Mary Thayer are in the Alden silver book Part 4, as are her father James Packard (a DAR patriot) and several of his siblings (in the discussion of their grandfather Ephraim Thayer's will.) As a descendant of Mary (Packard) Dawes's brother Ephraim. I can attest that a number of these Maine local histories contain oddities and errors, including this one. It may be due to the transient nature of Maine residents of that era. Revolutionary War veterans like her father moved there to settle but many of those their grandchildren, John Dawes's cousins & half my Packard ancestors in ME, went back to the same area the Packards had left, Bridgewater, Plymouth County, MA. It was becoming industrialized in the 1830s-50s and factory jobs were plentiful in the burgeoning shoe industry. You could live in a real town, with schools and no bears. The error here is in stating that Mary (Packard) Dawes was born in Duxbury, MA. She was born in Bridgewater.

DEAN, MYRA HASTINGS
If you spot someone born in the Midwest but with a surname common in areas with lots of Pilgrim families, don't hesitate to check because there is a chance they were born there but returned to the scene of the crime. Such is the case with Taunton High School class of 1904 treasurer Myra H. Dean (b. 1885 Berkley, MA). Her father had no apparent Mayflower ancestors but his 3rd wife, Myra's mother, from West Mansfield, OH, had at least five, including two Alden-Mullins lines because her parents were from Plymouth County, MA. The first, Gen 10/11, beginning with Myra's mother runs: Bessy (Hathaway) Dean, Almira (Loring) Hathaway, Levi Loring, Joshua, Thomas, Mary (Southworth) Loring, Sarah (Alden) Southworth, Jonathan Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus father William). The second, Gen 11/12, runs: Bessy (Hathaway) Dean, Almira (Loring) Hathaway, Levi Loring, Joshua, Zilpha/Zilpah (Bradford) Loring, Robert Bradford, Rebecca (Bartlett) Bradford, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John/Priscilla/William of the Mayflower. The silver book that gets the farthest on this line is Alden, which has the birth of Joshua Loring in 1751. Myra H. Dean remained unmarried at least to 1920, but check OH for Hathaway & Loring cousins. See the Bradford, Warren, & Brewster sections for more lines. Image from Taunton High School Record (Taunton: 1904), p. 9, digitized by Internet Archive.

DeCOSTER, JAMES H.
Born in Buckfield, ME in 1837 to the older brother of Varanes DeCoster, below, he should be a Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins IF this line is valid, also a Warren & Brewster. He is definitely a Rogers & Hopkins descendant. See Varanes's writeup for issues with this line and more about the family. James's line would run: Henry DeCoster, Samuel, Priscilla (Rogers) DeCoster, Hannah (Bartlett) Rogers, Ichabod Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla plus William Mullins, all 3 eligible Mayflower passengers.

Born in Buckfield, ME in 1837 to the older brother of Varanes DeCoster, below, he should be a Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins IF this line is valid, also a Warren & Brewster. He is definitely a Rogers & Hopkins descendant. See Varanes's writeup for issues with this line and more about the family. James's line would run: Henry DeCoster, Samuel, Priscilla (Rogers) DeCoster, Hannah (Bartlett) Rogers, Ichabod Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla plus William Mullins, all 3 eligible Mayflower passengers.

DeCOSTER - VARANES, VIRGINIA, VIRGIL P.
The book with this photo repeats the old legend that Varanes's Rogers grandmother was descended from a notorious Protestant martyr in Old England and made no mention of any Mayflower connection whatsoever, in spite of descent from SIX Pilgrim families (Rogers, Alden, Mullins, Hopkins, Warren, & Brewster.) Fortunately Priscilla Rogers of Bridgewater, MA was not hard to find or trace and she is a verified Rogers & Hopkins descendant.. That said, her mothert Hannah (Bartlett) Rogers is identified in the Alden silver book Vol. 1 and Rogers Vol 2 (pub 2019) as PROBABLY daughter of Ichabod Bartlett & Sarah Spooner, so join the Mayflower Society as a Rogers or Hopkins and then work on proving the other lines. Here is the proposed line from Gen 8/9 Varanes (above far left, b 1814) and the two of his 7 children shown - Gen 9/10 twins Virginia (DeCoster) Jones and Virgil P. DeCoster (both b 1848) - beginning with Varanes's father: Samuel DeCoster, Priscilla (Rogers) DeCoster, Hannah (Bartlett) Rogers, Ichabod Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla plus William Mullins, all 3 eligible Mayflower passengers. See their other pilgrim ancestors sections for those lines. Image & info from Alfred Cole & Charles H. Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, from the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), pp. 572-3, 576-7. (Author Whitman was the Clerk of the county court, so had access to good local records.) Digitized by the New York Public Library. Virgil appears to be a dead ringer for his father.

Delano, [Christopher] Columbus
The Hon. [Christopher] Columbus Delano of Ohio was a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins and Generation 7 Doty descendant via his paternal great-great grandparents, as well as a Generation 8 Richard Warren descendant via great-grandmother Sarah Bartlett. He is listed in Muriel Curtis Cushing, comp., Philip Delano of the "Fortune" 1621 and his Descendants in the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Generations, Part 2 (Plymouth: GSMD, 2011). National Archives and Records Administration image.
DEXTER, BERNICE ALDEN
About 8 when the photo on the left was taken and 17-18 on the right, Bernice "Bunny" Dexter was the daughter of Alden Davis Dexter, who can be seen on the Browne/Brown and Warren pages, and Minnie Frances Swift (see below), an Alden-Mullins & Cooke descendant. Since the Dexter family was long of Plymouth County and there were numerous "Alden Dexters" there might be a link but I have not yet found it. Bernice's Gen 11/12 Alden-Mullins line runs: Minnie Frances (Swift) Dexter, William H. Swift, Elizabeth Hathaway (Alden) Swift, Oliver Alden, David Alden Jr., David, David, John, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (& William) of the Mayflower. See her Brown, Cooke, & Warren write-ups for those lines. First image & info from William A. Warden & Robert L. Dexter, Genealogy of the Dexter Family in America, Descendants of Thomas Dexter, Together with the Record of Other Allied Families (Worcester, MA: Blanchard Press, 1905), pp. 203, 301-2, digitized by the LOC. The second and her nickname are from the Journal (Taunton High School: 1917), p. 15, on Internet Archive. Bernice married a John Smith Panton (b Scotland) in 1918, so look for descendants under that surname as well. |

DRING - CHARLES PERRY, CAROLINE AUGUSTA, CHARLES HOWARD
The book from which these photos come states that Charles (above, far left, b. Newport, RI 1808) was an Alden descendant in the 8th generation, and that is correct, per the Alden Silver Books (parts 1 & 2), which get the line as far as his grandfather, Philip Dring. Assuming the authors were correct about Charles's father being John Dring, and Philip being John's father, then he is a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins. Not noted, was his Generation 8 descent from Thomas Rogers. The marriage of Elizabeth Pabodie, an Alden granddaughter, to a John Rogers was noted, but the fact that John was a grandson of pilgrim Thomas Rogers was not. Anyone searching for more pilgrim lineage for Charles might examine the family tree of his mother, Esther Perry. The book also refers to a Brownell connection, and a family member named Thomas Church Brownell, a bishop. Some in the Church family in that part of MA descended from pilgrim Richard Warren. Charles was the father of Caroline Augusta (b. 1846, Tiverton) and Charles Humphrey (1841-1907), neither of whom married. Info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 812-5 digitized by the Boston Public Library. Photograph of image made by me from hard copy edition at the Library of Congress. See also relative Mary E. Holland, below.

DRING, CHARLES HOWARD (See Charles Perry Dring, above.)
DUNLAP, SAMUEL FALES
Son of Lucy Fales and grandson of Samuel Fales, both below, Samuel was a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins, a Gen. 10 Rogers & Chilton, Gen. 9 Bradford, plus Gen. 9 Warren three times (twice via Abigail Haliburton, Lucy's mother.) The original of this image was a painting by G. P. A. Healey, who also painted Lucy's portrait, and all the family paintings in turn were photographed and printed in the book in a sepia tone so color here is guesswork. No date is given for either portrait but Samuel Dunlap lived from 1825 to 1905. Based on the clothing and statements in the book from which this scan came - that Samuel graduated Harvard in 1845, served at the equivalent of the American embassy in Berlin (presumably immediately after graduation), edited a book by his father, Andrew Dunlap, that was published in 1850, then wrote and published books in 1856 and 1858 - I would guess that this was painted when he was in his late 20s-early 30s. See his mother's writeup for the Alden-Mullins lineage and the Rogers, Bradford, Chilton and Warren sections for those lines.

EATON, EPHRAIM LLEWELLYN
When you check the Eaton silver book, you will see that the source for the descendants of Gen 5 Jabez Eaton is this man, the Rev. Ephraim L. Eaton (b 1846) of Wisconsin. Solomon Eaton, below, would be his grandfather's brother. If you wish you join on this line you will still have to document his claims beyond the birth of the 10 Jabez Eaton Jr. children of Middleboro, MA and NY state who seem to have survived to adulthood. Ephraim's Gen 9 Eaton line runs: Almond/Almon Ransom Eaton, Jabez Eaton Jr., Thankful (Alden) Eaton, John Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus father William) of the Mayflower. See the Eaton, Rogers, and Alden-Mullins sections of this web site for his other Mayflower lines.

EATON, OLIVER (See Solomon Eaton, below.)
EATON, SOLOMON & OLIVER
Like his son Oliver, Solomon (left) is an Alden-Mullins, Eaton, Rogers, and Priest descendant. Solomon was an innkeeper and died in Bridgewater. His 1774 birth is in the Alden silver book (Part 3, p 230) and the Eaton book as Gen. 6. His Gen 6/7 Alden-Mullins line runs: Jabez Eaton Jr., Thankful (Alden) Eaton, John Alden, Joseph, John & Priscilla. See his Priest, Rogers, and Eaton writeups for those lines. Oliver might have another Alden-Mullins line through his mother Polly Keith, b. ca. 1779. The book with these images linked father & son only loosely, so you will need to get vital records beyond Solomon's birth. It identified another son, Solomon K. Eaton (K. for Keith?), and tracking him might help.

EDDY, HIRAM & ZACHARY
Hiram Eddy of Jersey City, NJ & Zachary of Detroit, MI were both Reverends as well as brothers. They were Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins twice and Gen. 7 Standish. (See their Standish writeups for that lineage.) The Alden-Mullins lines run as follows: (1) Isaac Eddy, Nathan, Lydia (Alden) Eddy, John Alden, Joseph, John and Priscilla of the Mayflower and (2) Isaac Eddy, Eunice (Sampson) Eddy, Ephraim Sampson, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The birth of their father Isaac Eddy was noted in both the Alden and Standish Silver Books. Image from R. H. Eddy, The Eddy family: Reunion at Providence to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of John and Samuel Eddy at Plymouth, Oct. 29, 1630 (Boston: Cushing, ca. 1880), pp. 19, 58, digitized by the Boston Public Library. |

EDDY, JAMES HOOD
First cousin of Hiram and Zachary (above), James Hood Eddy was also a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins twice and a Gen. 7 Standish. His father, Zachariah Eddy (b 1778), was a younger brother of their father Isaac (b 1774). James's Alden-Mullins lines thus run: (1) Zachariah, Nathan, Lydia (Alden) Eddy, John Alden, Joseph, John and Priscilla of the Mayflower and (2) Zachariah Eddy, Eunice (Sampson) Eddy, Ephraim Sampson, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins.

EDDY, ZACHARY (See Hiram Eddy, above.)
Edson, Jael
According to the Babbitt Family History, Jael (Edson) Babbitt (1787-1866) was an Alden-Mullins and Soule descendant. Research in the Silver & Pink Books revealed that she was Gen 6/7 Alden-Mullins (via her maternal grandmother Ruth Delano) and Gen 6 Soule (via her mother, Rhoda Peterson) but was also Gen 6 Doty via the Petersons and Gen 6/7 Howland-Tilley by her paternal grandmother, Jael (Bennett) Edson. The GSMD's Alden, Soule, and Howland books document her parents; Jael herself is in the Doty Silver Book. She was the mother of Adeline Lavinia (Babbitt) Browne and Nathan Snell Babbitt, above. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A. Hack & Son, 1912), p. 360, scanned at the Library of Congress.
EDSON, SALLY
Sally (Edson) Eddy (1781-1850) should be a Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins, Gen 7 Eaton, Gen 9 Rogers, and Gen 8 Priest descendant. See her Eaton writeup for the full story and that lineage. See her Priest & Rogers writeups for those lines. Her Alden-Mullins line would run: Lucy (Eaton) Edson, Jabez Eaton, Thankful (Alden) Eaton, John Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. She was the niece of Solomon Eaton, above, thus a first cousin of Oliver Eaton, and her sister Lucy (Edson) Pratt was the grandmother of Francis G. Pratt, below. Image from R. H.

EELLS, SAMUEL
Uncle of doppelgänger Robert L. Ells (not Eells), below, and of Elijah Barstow, Jr., above, and a first cousin of Michael Ford, Jr./2d, below, Samuel was born in 1783 and is in the Alden Silver Book, vol. 4. He is a Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins as follows: Ruth (Copeland) Eells, Joseph Copeland, Mary (Bass) (Webb) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Samuel died in 1863 so this image "from an old picture" would have been taken in his late 60s or his 70s. According to the author of the book from which this image was taken, Samuel was a shipwright in business with brother Edward. Two other brothers, Robert & Joseph, continued the blacksmithing business of father Robert Lenthal Eells, which catered to the nearby shipbuilding trade. Image and info from L. Vernon Briggs, History of Shipbuilding on North River, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with Genealogies of the Shipbuilders, and Accounts of the Industries Upon its Tributaries, 1640 to 1872 (Boston: Coburn, 1889), pp. 94, 98, 99, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ELLS, ROBERT L.
Family members sometimes spelled the name "Eells," and that is how you will find it in GSMD Silver Books. Vital records on the NEHGS site pick up where the Alden silver books Parts 1 & 4 leave off, which is with Robert's parents. His photo identifies him as both a deacon and "an old time shipbuilder" and the book from which this image was taken sketches his very interesting career and service to this country. He was nephew of Samuel Eells, above, whom he resembles, and of Michael Ford Jr./2d, below, and a cousin of Elijah Barstow also above. Robert L. Ells of Medford, MA (1808-1883) was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins as follows: Edward Eells, Ruth (Copeland) Eells, Joseph Copeland, Mary (Bass) (Webb) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Secretary, Stetson Kindred of America, Inc., Booklet No. 3 (1911), p. 35, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Estes, William R. G.
Probable but not proven. His mother was Betsey Hayford Alden, said to have been the daughter of Revolutionary War soldier Benjamin Alden and the wife of Thomas Estes. They also had a son Lewis Alden Estes, but his photo was not in this book. William, a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant was born in in 1830 in Durham, Maine, where the Estes family had lived since 1769, and he lived briefly in Iowa (1855-58) with an unspecified older brother. William was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and was still alive when this book was published in 1899. His Alden-Mullins link remains to be proven due to lack of Alden records online for Durham, ME. However, the account is internally consistent within this book, which translates as "I'll give him a chance." Image from Everett S. Stackpole, History of Durham, Maine with Genealogical Notes (Lewiston, ME: Lewiston Journal Co., 1899), p. 109, digitized by the Library of Congress.

Son of Haliburton Fales, nephew of Lucy & Samuel Bradford Fales, and grandson of Samuel (all below), Haliburton Jr. (Gen #2) (left, above) was b. Boston 1849, moved to NY with his parents in 1854, and was apparently still living when this book was printed. This image, from a 1910 painting by Herman G. Herkomer, was made when he was about 60. (Younger images would be welcome.) I think he did not go by "Jr." in his lifetime because his father died when he was 20. DeCoursey Fales (b. 1888), in the center, and his brother Haliburton #3 (b. 1885), who signed his name "Jr." were both born in NY City. DeCoursey was the author of the book from which all these Fales pictures were taken and chose a painting in military uniform to depict himself. Haliburton #3 is the only photograph. The book from which these images were taken says that DeCoursey was admitted to the bar so he may have been a practicing attorney and thus left a paper trail. See the writeup for his grandfather Samuel for Haliburton #2's Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins lineage. (Add one for the sons.)

Samuel, above, was father of (left to right) Lucy (Mrs. Andrew Dunlap, b. 1802), Haliburton (b. 1815), and Samuel Bradford Fales (b. 1804), grandfather of Samuel Fales Dunlap and Haliburton Fales 2d, and great-grandfather of Haliburton 3d & DeCoursey Fales, all above. He was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant, Gen. 7 Bradford & Warren, and Gen 8 Rogers & Chilton born in Bristol, RI in 1775. He later settled in Boston, where he married Abigail Haliburton, a Warren descendant, in 1801, and had children, dying there in 1848. Beginning with Samuel Sr.'s mother, this line runs: Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Samuel's image is a photograph of a printed image in this book of a painting by Gilbert Stuart, made in 1806, when he would have been 31 and already prosperous.

Samuel, above, was father of (left to right) Lucy (Mrs. Andrew Dunlap, b. 1802), Haliburton (b. 1815), and Samuel Bradford Fales (b. 1804), grandfather of Samuel Fales Dunlap and Haliburton Fales 2d, and great-grandfather of Haliburton 3d & DeCoursey Fales, all above. He was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant, Gen. 7 Bradford & Warren, and Gen 8 Rogers & Chilton born in Bristol, RI in 1775. He later settled in Boston, where he married Abigail Haliburton, a Warren descendant, in 1801, and had children, dying there in 1848. Beginning with Samuel Sr.'s mother, this line runs: Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Samuel's image is a photograph of a printed image in this book of a painting by Gilbert Stuart, made in 1806, when he would have been 31 and already prosperous. See the Chilton section for more biographical info on this large family, and Bradford, Rogers, & Warren for those lines..

FALES, SAMUEL BRADFORD (See Samuel Fales, above.)
FAUNCE, WILLIAM
I finally found an image of a distant Faunce "cousin" to upload. William (1859-1930) looks to be an Alden-Mullins on his mother's side, plus a Brewster, Bradford, and Warren descendant (at least 11 times over for that last pilgrim.) His Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs: Mary P. (Perry) Faunce, Meletiah Perry, Phebe (Bartlett) Perry, Zacheus Bartlett, Elizabeth (Bartlett) Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & the Mullinses of the Mayflower. Where things might get sticky is proving that his mother was the daughter of Meletiah and Mary G. Perry, as her death record claims, because she was supposedly born in Baltimore and possibly buried in Washington DC. Her father may have been a mariner based in New Bedford, who resettled in Bristol, RI. There should be more biographical material available on William, as he was president of Brown University at one point and possibly there are some Plymouth County probate records on this line. Image (only) from wikipedia, which acknowledged the source to be "A Group of American College Presidents," in Appleton's Magazine, Vol. III, Jan-June 1904, p. 800, digitized and uploaded to Internet Archive by the University of Toronto. There is a picture of him at a much younger age on findagrave.

FAXON, GRACE BAXTER
Grace, born in Lynn, MA in 1877 joined the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) herself over a century ago, as number #8473. At the time a handshake was proof enough so she listed no dates or places and must have turned in no documents. The book with this photo gives her Alden-Mullins descent and Gens 1-6 match the silver book and from there the vital records seem OK. Grace's Gen 9/10 line runs: George Faxon, Abigail (Baxter) Faxon, Prudence (Spear) Baxter, Mary/Marah (Arnold) Spear, Sarah (Webb) Arnold, Mary (Bass) Webb, Ruth (Alden) Bass, Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, her father, and her husband John Alden. The latter 3 are qualifying ancestors for those who wish to join the Mayflower Society. The book does not indicate that she married, neither does her DAR paper, and it is not clear if she had siblings or not. She merited inclusion in this book based on literary and dramatic work and was no older than 27 at the time. Image & info from Mary Elvira Elliot, et al., comp., Representative Women of New England (Boston: New England Historical Publishing, 1904), 294-5, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Filoon, Veranus
Veranus could claim Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins descent as well as Generation 9 from Henry Samson and Myles Standish. The story is that the 2 Filoon brothers were Scots-Irish immigrants from County Armagh in the late 1700s and one, James Filoon settled in Abington, MA. His son John Williams Filoon married Mary Fullerton (Noah, Asa, John, John.) Great-grandfather John and earlier Fullertons are in the Alden silver books. Mary's father Noah Fullerton was a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins and Generation 7 Standish via the 1st marriage of John Fullerton, Sr., b. Boston 1696 to Ruth Samson, daughter of Mercy Standish, granddaughter of Sarah Alden. Much more Fullerton information can be found in the Samson silver book. Reportedly John, Sr. had 17 children, the last born when some of his children were already grandparents and 2nd wife Rebecca Delano was 47. Although the Fullerton family has many Mayflower descendants, John, Sr. worked for then-Gov. Winslow and fled to Canada during the Revolutionary War. Check the next two generations for possible Daughters of the American Revolution patriots. Sons, too. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J.

FLINT, CHARLOTTE HATHAWAY
Charlotte (b 1899) of Taunton was a double Gen 11 & 12 Rogers descendant on her mother's Hathaway side (see the Rogers section for details) and an Alden-Mullins descendant on her father's side. Based on census and gravestone data Charlotte appears not to have married but she had a brother 3 years younger, Kendall Hathaway Flint, who did, and who may have left descendants. Charlotte's Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: Simeon Kendall Flint, Anne Harrod Adams (Burrill/Burrell) Flint, Susanna (Bass) Burrill/Burrell, Jonathan Bass, Jonathan, John, John, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (with father William) of the Mayflower. Image (only) from the Journal (Taunton High School: 1917), p. 18, digitized on the Internet Archive.

FORD, MICHAEL JR./2D
A Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins descendant and a double Warren descendant, Michael was born in Scituate, MA in 1784. He and his family were involved in shipbuilding for several generations. He is a cousin of Samuel Eells, above, and a cousin once removed of Elijah Barstow, Jr. and Robert L. Ells (not Eells) on this page. Samuel, Michael, Elijah Sr., and Robert's father Edward are all in the Alden silver book, part 4. Michael's line runs: Rhoda (Copeland) Ford, Joseph Copeland, Mary (Bass) (Webb) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. At some point in his career he badly injured a knee, explaining the walking stick in the full-size version of this image. That must have been after his militia service in the War of 1812. If you are a descendant, you qualify for membership in the National Society U.S. Daughters of 1812 or the General Society of the War of 1812. His pension index card is on fold3.com, which is currently (2016) digitizing records from that conflict. Michael lived to 1878, not 1877 as claimed in the book, and his death is listed on the same page as that of his older sister, Lucy Copeland, age 97. Image and info from L. Vernon Briggs, History of Shipbuilding on North River, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with Genealogies of the Shipbuilders, and Accounts of the Industries Upon its Tributaries, 1640 to 1872 (Boston: Coburn, 1889), pp. 131-2, 135, 136, digitized by the Library of Congress.

FREEMAN, ALDEN
In the 1700s and 1800s, if you run across someone whose first name is "Alden" it is reasonable to search for a John Alden connection. Grandson of Seth Alden Abbey, above, via daughter Frances, also above, Alden Freeman was a Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins descendant. Some Abbey uncles are pictured above as well, and Seth's writeup has info on where this line intersects with the Alden Silver Book. His line would run: Frances Maria (Abbey) Freeman, Seth Alden Abbey, Hannah (Alden) Abbey, Amos Alden, Jonathan, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John and Priscilla of the Mayflower. According to the book from which this info and images were taken, Alden Freeman was quite a history enthusiast, involved in several groups and erecting a memorial to Capt. Thomas Abbey, and collecting family records. If you are interested in his forebears, see if he left this collection somewhere, perhaps in the Enfield, CT area, where Thomas Abbey lived. Image and info from Abbe & Nichols, Abbe-Abbey Genealogy (New Haven, CT: Tuttle, Morehouse, Taylor, 1916), p. 302. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.

FRENCH, BENJAMIN VINTON
Many of the Vintons seem to have married into the Alden-Mullns family. The marriage of Benjamin's mother, Eunice Vinton, is noted in the Alden silver book, part 4. Benjamin (b. 1791) was quite the agriculturalist and specialized in orchard fruits. Since his successes on his Braintree farm led to state and federal appointments in agriculture you might find other pictures of him elsewhere. He married twice, the first time to a cousin, but the author noted no children. Benjamin's Gen. 7/8 line runs: Moses French, Moses, Esther (Thayer) French, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Image and info from John Adams Vinton, The Vinton Memorial, Comprising Genealogy of the Descendants of John Vinton of Lynn, 1648 (Boston: Whipple, 1858), pp. 105, 193, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

FRENCH, JOB BORDEN
There is a bit of guesswork here but I believe that Job B. French was a Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins and a 9 Rogers via his paternal grandmother, Phoebe Ann (Dwelley) French. See his Rogers writeup for details. If my assumptions are correct, the line would run backwards from Job as: Enoch Judson French, Phoebe Ann (Dwelley) French, Daniel Dwelley, Richard Dwelley, Alice (Pearce) Dwelley, Deborah (Searle) Pearce, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower.

FRENCH, SILVANUS
The mother of Deacon Silvanus French, Amie/Amy (Packard) French, is listed in Part 3 of the Alden silver books, as Generation 6, as is her brother Lemuel who is the father of Silvanus Packard (below). Thus both Silvanii cousins are Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendants. Silvanus French's line runs: Amie/Amy (Packard) French, Sarah (Richards/Rickards) Packard, Mehitable (Alden) Richards/Rickards, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Image from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), p. 505, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

FULLER, ALBERT H.
Assuming you can resolve an "issue" with his paternal grandmother, Albert (b 1848) should be a descendant of John Alden, William Mullins, Myles Standish, George Soule, and Francis Cooke on her line but of Stephen Hopkins, Francis Cooke again, Edward Doty, Samuel Fuller, Francis Eaton, and John Billington on his grandfather's line regardless. See his Standish section writeup for the "issue" and see the Hopkins, Cooke, Doty, S Fuller, Eaton, and Billington sections for those lines. Starting with his father, Albert's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line should run: Charles T. Fuller, Mercy (Thompson/Tomson) Fuller, Moses Tomson, Zerviah (Standish) Tomson, Moses Standish, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. Image from the Brockton Public Library thanks to DigitalCommonwealth. You can get a better look at Albert online there.

FULLER, CLINTON
Clinton Fuller was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins and a Gen. 8 descendant of Edward Fuller as well. He migrated as a boy from Luzerne Co., PA to Stark Co., IL, both areas that published detailed county histories in the late 1800s. (Stark Co. also has a 2-volume set from 1916.) One of the early outmigration patterns from New England after the Revolutionary War was through Luzerne and Wyoming Counties in PA. If you know something about the path your people took from Plymouth to wherever you live now, check Internet Archive and Heritage Quest online to see if those counties published histories. Many have pictures. They are free for the download if they are in the public domain. Remember to look for siblings as well as your direct ancestor. Clinton's Alden-Mullins lineage runs as follows: Ambrose Fuller, Hannah (Hill) Fuller, Anne (Grinnell) Hill, George Grinnell, Lydia (Pabodie) Grinnell, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See his Edward Fuller writeup for that line. The Alden Silver Book will get you as far as Hannah Hill, and her husband Jehiel Fuller is in the Edward Fuller Silver Book. Image and info from M. A.

FULLER, GEORGE A.
The description in the book from which this image was taken states that George was a direct descendant of Samuel Fuller of the Mayflower. (See his Fuller description for those details.) If the assumptions I made are correct, his great-great grandmother Fuller was a Samson descendant plus an Alden-Mullins & Standish via a non-Mayflower Samson line. Caution: the Samson book, part 2, published in 2005, gave the marriage of Ziba Fuller but had found only one child, a Severance (not Simeon), but the implication is that there may have been more. Check out the next Samson & Samuel Fuller volumes when they come out. George's Alden-Mullins line should be Gen 10/11, as follows: Andrew J. Fuller, Asa, Ziba, Ann (Blackmer) Fuller, Rebecca (Samson) Blackmer, Abraham Samson, Lorah (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. See his Samson and Standish writeups for those details. Image from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 293, digitized by the Library of Congress.

GAMBLE, ROBERT HOWARD
In honor of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, please give your thanks to 2nd Lt. Robert Howard Gamble (1893-1918) who died in battle at St. Mihiel, France, according to the relative who wrote and published the family genealogy from which this image was taken. "Bob" was a great grandnephew of Edward Standish Sherman (below) and a cousin of Edward's 5 sons, also pictured. His Gen 10/11 Alden Mullins line would run: Frances Eaton (White) Gamble, Charles Atwood White, Martha (Sherman) White, Susannah (Staples) Sherman, John Staples, Hannah (Standish) Staples, Ebenezer Standish, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus father William Mullins) of the Mayflower. I do not know if Lt. Gamble was related to Francis Eaton or William White of the Mayflower but if I find out he was I will add those lines. Check the Standish section for that writeup.

GAMMONS, HERMAN & MAY AGNES
May's photo is from a picture of her 1907 graduating class but older brother Herman's was cropped from a photo of his college baseball team in his 1899 yearbook. The face of Herman (b. Bridgewater 1880) was spotted on 3 team photos but only identified by name in 1900. However, the general description on his WWI draft registration matched (slender, 5'11", brown hair, blue eyes.) By then he was married & a principal at a senior high school in Chelsea, near Boston. May's 1885 birth record called her "Mary" but her 1915 marriage record (to Richard Patrick Roche of Cohasset) matched the name on the class photo and censuses. She also had made a career of teaching. Their pilgrim lines include Alden-Mullins, and Howland-Tilley (paternal) and Brewster, Doty, & White (maternal.). They are related to the Tilsons, below, and their Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Elijah B[ailey] Gammons, Samuel N[ewell] Gammons, Marcy (Tilson) Gammons, Ichabod Tilson, Janet (Murdock) Tilson, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett), Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, with her father William all 3 Mayflower passengers. See the other sections on this website for their other lines (and Herman's 1898 and 1900 team photos.)

GAMMONS, MAY AGNES (See Herman Gammons, above)
GIFFORD, L.
A Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant via his mother, the photo was taken in the 1880s, when the subject was about 40 and a farmer "out standing in his field." Civil War pension documents describe him as of average height for the time (5'6" - 5'7"), thin, with black (later gray) hair and blue eyes. Here his hair looks like it is rapidly going white, a hallmark of that family. He is also a Gen 9 Cooke via his father. Photo is a scan of a scan of a family image of unknown origin. It is not for download or reuse anywhere partly because the identification not been confirmed, partly because it is the personal property of one of his descendants.

On the left is 28-year-old card grinder and bridegroom, L. Gifford of Bristol County, MA. He was an Alden-Mullins, Cooke, Doty, Rogers, Brewster, and Warren descendant. Both of his parents were Mayflower descendants. The sepia tone of the photo on the left doesn't show it, but his eyes were blue and he was short. These are the only pictures I've seen of him without snow-white hair. These are scans of scans supplied by one of his relatives so it is NOT for you or anyone else to download.

GIFFORD, S.
This ring-spinner in a Massachusetts textile factory is 18 and getting married. A relative of the second L. Gifford, above, she was likewise an Alden-Mullins, Brewster, Cooke, Doty, Rogers, and Warren descendant. It's difficult to tell what her hair color was, given that this was a sepia picture but my guess is light-medium brown. I did meet her and she was also short, blue-eyed, and had snow-white hair in old age. This scan is also owned by a private individual who gave permission for it to be published on this site ONLY.

GOODWIN, MARY JANE
She and her brother John Abbott Goodwin both wrote about the first LeBaron immigrant, apparently with different explanations for his arrival. Mary Jane (1831-1894) wrote under her married name, Austin, if you want to look them up. She and her brother were Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, Gen. 8 Warren, Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley, Gen. 7 Bradford, Gen. 8 Hopkins, and Gen. 8 Standish descendants, whew!. Mary Jane was a Mayflower descendant through both parents, who were distant LeBaron cousins. Mary Jane's Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Isaac Goodwin, Lydia Cushing (Samson) Goodwin, Simeon Sampson/Samson, Peleg Samson, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. She is not a descendant of Pilgrim Henry Samson, though her Samson line may be collateral relations. The Alden silver book Part 1 gets through the birth of Simeon Samson/Sampson and his marriage to Deborah Cushing. Vital records on the NEHGS site have the birth of Lydia Cushing Samson, her marriage to William Goodwin, Isaac's birth, his marriage to Elizabeth Hammatt, and Mary Jane's birth in Worcester, where the family had moved from Plymouth. See her Bradford, Standish, Hopkins, Howland-Tilley, and Warren write-ups for those lines. This image is credited as a photo provided by Mary Jane's daughter, Lilian Ivers (Goodwin) DaSilva, circa 1890 would be my guess. Image and info from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 21-22, 33, 50, 122, 263, 408, digitized by the New York Public Library.

GOUDY, LEWIS ALDEN
The book with this image specifies that his mother was a Soule but makes no explanation for the middle name other than saying his father was Alden Goudy. Lewis A. Goudy, as he wrote it, is said to have been born in 1849, in Woolwich, ME. He was quite an accomplished businessman, including running a "confectionary" business that was later sold to Nabisco. He was early in the telephone business, too. There may be more than one Alden-Mullins link but one can be found in the Soule book. That Gen 9/10 line runs: Augusta P. (Soule) Goudy, David Farnham Soule, Samuel, John Soule, Hannah (Delano) Soule, Jonathan Delano, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Lewis also has 2 Doty lines. See the Soule and Doty sections for those lineages and more info. Be on the lookout for a Warren link, too, as his paternal grandmother was Rebecca Church. Image and info from Little, Burrage, Stubbs, Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, Vol. II (NY: Lewish Historical Pub. Co., 1909), pp. 566-8, digitized by Columbia University.

GREEN, WALTER JEROME
To prove this line to any lineage society you will have to document Walter (1842-1885), his parents, and grandparents after their marriage. The book from which this image was taken notes the last 2 generations were born in NY, does link the grandfather (David Green) to John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (or "Nolines," as it is spelled.) However, it says that "his mother" was Deliverance Hatch and it is not clear who "his" is. If the author meant Walter's father Charles Green, fine, because she did marry a David Green and Deliverance's mother was a Sears, as claimed in the book. The 2020 Alden silver book for descendants of son David Alden, though, lists no son Charles, just Reuben, Abigail, and Angeline (1795, 1797, 1803). Charles was born in 1811 so there is room for more children in this family and the Mayflower Society is always interested in new lines. If this can all be sorted out, Walter was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant. His line would run: Charles Green, Deliverance (Hatch) Green, Mary (Sears) Hatch, Mary (Paddock) Sears, Alice (Alden) Paddock, David Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (and her father William.) Image & some info from History of Oneida County, New York, from 1700 to the Present Time, Vol. II (Chicago: Clarke, 1912), p. 232, digitized by the NY Public Libraries. Think Walter would have looked better without the mustache, or at least with a smaller one?

HALL, ALMEDA
Much of the biography in the volume with this picture is a lamentation about a life cut short, with the blame placed on the cares of motherhood and a husband off at war, but the medical culprit was then-rampant tuberculosis. Almeda did leave a son Albert and daughter Margaret when she died in 1865, 2 of the 3 children she had with George Winslow Cobb of the 61st MA Vols. (He was the son of Rev. Sylvanus Cobb, they married in 1856, and it would be reasonable to look for Mayflower descendants on his side.) The bio did state that Almeda was born in Marshfield, MA in 1834 and a Standish, White, and Brewster through her mother. I found no Brewster and the authors missed the Doty, Warren, Alden-Mullins, and Samson lines and that the descent was through both parents, Sarah Kent and William Hall. Here is Almeda's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line: Sarah (Kent) Hall, William Kent, Mary (Sampson) Kent, Charles Samson, David, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (with father William) of the Mayflower. See the other sections for the other lines.

HANDY, MABEL LOUISE
As with any group photo, in this case Bridgewater Normal School Class of 1907, the identification depends on the person writing the caption correctly identifying the person in the picture. Mabel (b 1886) is a double Alden-Mullins and possibly more, but more photos would be needed to verify that this is her picture. She was a teacher for years so there should be other photos of her elsewhere. The Brett genealogy includes the birth of her grandparents and mentions that her great-great-grandmother, Betsey Fuller was a Mayflower descendant but I have not found out how. Her Cumberland, RI marriage record to John Bishop says she was the daughter of Jonathan. That line will require more research and may prove to be false. Mabel's Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: Charles P. Handy, Fanny (Brett) Handy, Susanna (Cary) Brett, Susanna (Bass) Cary, Jonathan Bass, Samuel, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla / William Mullins. Her Gen 11/12 Alden-Mullins line is: Charles P. Handy, Fanny (Brett) Handy, Pliny Brett, Rufus, Simeon, Seth, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Her closest relations here are "cousins" Charles Spafford Brett and Ezra Cary Brett, both above, via Rufus Brett. Helpful info from L. G. B. Goodenow, The Brett Genealogy I. The Bretts in England II. William Brett III. Roger Brett (Cambridge, MA: Murray & Emery, 1915), pp. 139-40.

HARLAND, EDWARD
General Edward Harland (b. 1832, Norwich, CT) works out to be a Generation 10-11 Alden-Mullins, Generation 9 Bradford, and Generation 10 Rogers. The authors of this book helpfully point out which ancestor was the line carrier of his Bradford and Alden genes (but you have to look for it, then search hard in the Bradford silver book.) Edward's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Whiting (daughter of John, the line carrier in this instance), is noted as having been born in CT about 1750. The Alden Silver Books get only as far as the birth of her father. Elizabeth married a Daniel Leffingwell, giving rise to a run of three women with "Leffingwell" in their names, probably not a coincidence and helpful if you are short on vital records. Thus Bradford is not only newer than Alden Part 2 by 2 years, but more complete. Moving backwards, we see that Gen. Harland's Alden-Mullins line is: Abigail Leffingwell (Hyde) Harland, Sarah Russell (Leffingwell) Hyde, Elizabeth (Whiting) Leffingwell, John Whiting, Elizabeth (Bradford) Whiting, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth Pabodie (Rogers), Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. See Edward's Bradford and Rogers writeups for those lines. Image & info from Genealogical & Biographical Record of New London (Chicago: J. H. Beers, 1905), pp. 248-50, digitized by Brigham Young University.

HARRINGTON, MAYDELL GERTRUDE
Maydell's mother's maiden name was Eaton and they lived in Bristol Co, so it was worth searching for a Mayflower ancestor in spite of her less-likely surname: "Harrington." Two years after graduation from Taunton High School (1917) Maydell married Leroy Parker Rogers, son of Tappan Rogers & Susan Parker, but those appear to be the Rogerses of Essex Co, MA, not descendants of Mayflower passenger Thomas Rogers. Thanks to Maydell's mother, though, her Rogers children, if any, would be Alden-Mullins, Doty, Eaton, and Priest descendants, with possibly more Mayflower ancestry as well. (See the other writeups for those lines.) If you are starting with a recent person and searching upstream for descendants using the Mayflower Families Fifth Generation Descendants database on the NEHGS site, which is what I do, you have to stumble across the Priest silver book writeup to find the Alden-Mullins link. Maydell's Gen 11/12 Alden-Mullins line runs: Addie J. (Eaton) Harrington, Otis Eaton, Charles, Apollos, Joel, Joseph Eaton, Thankful (Alden) Eaton, John Alden, Joseph, John & Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, plus father-in-law Wm. Mullins. Image from the Journal (Taunton High School: 1917), p. 20, Internet Archive.

Harris, Benjamin Winslow & Robert Orr
U.S. Congressman Benjamin Harris (R-MA) (1823-1907) was a descendant of at least 7 Mayflower families, going only from data on the Harris side. (His mother, Mary Winslow Thomas, was described in the book from which this photo came as a descendant of Kenelm Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. Her line is worth checking.) Benjamin was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins & Warren descendant, twice a Gen 8 Brown, a Gen 8 Bradford, Gen 9 Cooke & Hopkins, and a Gen 10 Chilton descendant. Add one to those numbers for his son Robert O. Harris, right. The author of this series noted that Robert was a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD). Robert's mother's family (Julia A. Orr, daughter of Robert Orr, esq. of Boston and Melinda Wilbur) merits examination for Pilgrim links, too.

HARRIS, ROBERT ORR (See Benjamin Winslow Harris, above.)
HARRISON, TILLSON LEVER
There are other photos of Dr. Harrison online but the ones I saw were of him as a much older man and the photos were not in the public domain. I believe this one is, due to age and period clothing. Tillson was born in 1881 in ON, Canada and graduated from medical school in 1907. To say he led an adventurous life would be an understatement, if his wikipedia writeup is to be believed. He was a Warren & a Brewster, but his Gen. 10/11 Alden-Mullins lineage is as follows: Harriet Adele (Tillson) Harrison, Edward Delavan Tillson, George Tilson/Tillson, Stephen/Steven Tilson, Jennet/Janet (Murdock) Tilson, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock/Murdoch, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. See his Warren & Brewster writeups for the lines. Image from wikipedia "Tillson Harrison" (accessed 14 Aug 2018), which credits it to the Annandale (ON) National Historic Site via the Canadian Medical Association. Supposedly the photo is in the public domain and was taken in 1906 or 1907. Info on Harrison and his lineage is from wikipedia and "Harrison, Tillson Lever," on the subscription site American National Biography Online (accessed 5 July 2016.) Info on his lineage beyond his grandparents is from Mercer V. Tilson, The Tilson Genealogy, from Edmund Tilson at Plymouth, N. E., 1638-1911, with Brief Sketches of the Family in England Back to 1066 (Plymouth: Memorial Press, 1911), digitized by the New York Public Library, and also from vital records on the NEHGS and from the relevant GSMD silver books.

HOLLAND, MARY E.
Mary graduated from Wellesley College (Class of 1919) and became a teacher in Newport RI, where her widowed mother also taught, and lived there with her maternal parents. It would be very interesting to know more about her father's family, as Mary was classified as "mulatto" in the 1910 census (white by 1920), and her late father Charles and his brother Harry (buried next to each other) and their parents William & Caroline were also classified as "mulatto" in Howard County, Maryland in 1870. Mary was born in Colorado and her father is buried in Pennsylvania. Mary was a 1st cousin twice removed of the two Dring children above and a great-great niece of their father, the older Charles Dring. Like them she was also a Rogers descendant. (See the Rogers section for her line.) Mary's Gen 11/12 Alden-Mullins line begins with her mother as follows: Katherine B. (Callahan) Holland, Mary Tilley (Dring) Callahan, Philip Dring, John, Philip, Sarah (Searle) Dring, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus her father William.

HOWARD, DANIEL S. & GORHAM BRADFORD
Brothers Daniel S. (b Brockton, MA 1818) and Gorham Bradford Howard (b 1827) carried the genes of 9 Pilgrim lines thanks to their mother, Lucy Sturtevant, whose paternal grandmother Elizabeth Samson (Alden-Mullins & Standish) married Silas Sturtevant (Priest, Eaton), and whose mother I believe was a Chilton. They should be Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins, twice. The first line runs: Lucy (Sturtevant) Howard, Ephraim Sturtevant, Elizabeth (Samson) Sturtevant, Ephraim Samson, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The second runs: Lucy (Sturtevant) Howard, Abigail (Howard) Sturtevant, Abigail (Snell) Howard, Zachariah Snell, Anna (Alden) Snell, Jonathan Alden, Jonathan & Priscilla of the Mayflower. The second line you will have to document carefully as my quick-and-dirty message did not confirm that the Abigail Howard who married Ephraim Sturtevant and died in 1842 was the same Abigail born to Robert and Abigail. The age and places match, but there were several Abigails born in the same area in the same decade. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 42-43, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

HOWARD, EMBERT
I will go out on a limb here and call Embert a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins. This is on the basis of his lineage as son of Cary Howard, the son of Darius Howard and second wife Huldah Cary. That Huldah Cary was the daughter of Jonathan Cary "Jr." and Abigail Perkins. All of these folks lived in Brockton and Jonathan & Abigail married in 1784. Jonathan could have been called "Jr." because he was son of Deacon Jonathan Cary and Mary Curtis or because he was 3 years younger than the Jonathan Cary born to a Jonathan Cary and Lois (---). Either way, it would be the same boy, grandson of Rev. Recompense Cary, who had the foresight to marry TWO Alden women, Mary Crossman and Sarah (Alden) Brett, a relative of mine. Thus, Jonathan "Jr." is likely a Generation 6/7 Alden-Mullins. Image in Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 535, digitized by the Allen Co Public Library.

Jonathan could have been called "Jr." because he was son of Deacon Jonathan Cary and Mary Curtis or because he was 3 years younger than the Jonathan Cary born to a Jonathan Cary and Lois (---). Either way, it would be the same boy, grandson of Rev. Recompense Cary, who had the foresight to marry TWO Alden women, Mary Crossman and Sarah (Alden) Brett, a relative of mine. Thus, Jonathan "Jr." is likely a Generation 6/7 Alden-Mullins. Image in Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 535, digitized by the Allen Co Public Library.
HOWARD, GORHAM BRADFORD (See Daniel S. Howard, above.)
HOWARD, HEMAN
Author of the book from which this photo was taken, Heman Howard was a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins via his paternal grandmother’s father, Calvin Brett. Calvin is in the Alden Silver Book. He is also a Chilton via his grandfather, Edwin Howard (see that page for details.) Other surnames and middle names in Heman's lineage hint at additional pilgrim lines. This Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Edwin Dwelly Howard, Edwin Howard, Lucy (Brett) Howard, Calvin Brett, Simeon Brett, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. There is a town in northern Wales named Dwelly, the first immigrant to New England by that name may have come from there.

HOWARD, WILLARD
Col. Willard P. Howard was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins and a Gen. 8 Brown(e) descendant via marriages in his father’s line. Willard’s Alden-Mullins lineage runs as follows: Thomas Jefferson Howard, Caleb Howard, Abigail (Copeland) Howard, Jonathan Copeland, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book Part 4 get as far as the marriage of grandparents Caleb Howard to Sylvia/Lydia Alger. See Willard’s Brown(e) entry for that line. It is not clear whether the title “Col.” is from his Civil War service or an honorific earned as a senior officer of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans organization after the war. He had no children at the time this book was written and was then residing in Baltimore.

The photo is small because the original is a full-size portrait of Willard in uniform, seated at a table.

HURLBUT, HARRIET PERSIS
To claim descent from her or any siblings or cousins, you will have to document everything past the marriage of Gen 6 Jeremiah Pratt to Miriam Partridge in 1787 (assuming I found the right wife) because his descendant was born in Wisconsin in 1862. Every generation is listed, though, and matches the silver book for the first 6 and the book with this photo mentions that her father did the Hurlbut genealogy, so odds are she knows her own Gen 9/10 line. Here is how it goes: Harriet E. (Sykes) Hurlbut, Harriette Partridge (Pratt) Sykes, Jeremiah Pratt, Abigail (Bowditch) Pratt, Mary (Bass) Bowditch, Samuel Bass, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Her biographical writeup mentions that she became an artist, lived in IL with a brother, and in retirement was going to work on "a family record-book, which her father began long ago." Maybe you can find it. Image and info from Frances E. Willard & Mary A. Livermore, eds., American Women: Fifteen Hundred Biographies, Vol. I, rev. ed. (NY: Mast, Crowell, & Kirkpatrick, 1897), p. 408, provided by the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection to the Internet Archive.

JONES, RACHEL B.
Her picture is on Digital Commonwealth as "Mrs. G. H. Cushman" courtesy of the Brockton, MA Public Library, but there was only one G. H. Cushman in town then (see him in the Alden, Allerton, Brewster, Cooke, Doty, Hopkins, and Warren sections.) George Homer Cushman had just one wife, Rachel B. Jones (1822-1894) and the two of them shared a residence in the 1850 census and a gravestone later with her parents, Nathan & Lucia (Howard) Jones. (See them on findagrave.com.) Lucia was the link to Rachel's Alden-Mullins, Cooke, and Chilton. (See those sections for her lines.) Rachel's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Lucia (Howard) Jones, Robert Howard, Abigail (Snell) Howard, Zachariah Snell, Anna (Alden) Snell, Jonathan Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (+ William) of the Mayflower. The birth of Susanna Perkins and marriage to Robert Howard is in the Cooke silver book.

KEITH, ALBERT
Like Edwin, George Eldon and Ziba Cary Keith (all below), Albert (b. 1823) is a grandson of Benjamin Keith and Martha "Patty" (Cary) Keith and thus a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins. Knowing that he had a brother named "Arza" would make this descendant much easier to find. In this instance, the book also gave his parents' names, another Arza Keith and Marcia Kingman, but my point is: never overlook your ancestor's siblings. See Arza Keith's writeup, below, for the lineage. Also be aware that all these images of Brockton residents might require you searching in "North Bridgewater," that city's former name. Image in Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 221, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

KEITH - ARZA, BELA, & ZIBA
Brother of Bela (above center) and Ziba (above right), Arza (above left) was also the father of Albert (above). Capt. Ziba was the father of Edwin and Ziba Cary Keith, below, and the first mayor (1832) of Brockton, MA, formerly North Bridgewater. The brothers were Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins, and the line runs as follows, starting with their mother: Martha "Patty" (Cary) Keith, Col. Simeon Cary, Mary (Crossman) Cary, Sarah (Alden) Crossman, Joseph Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower, and Priscilla's father William Mullins. The Alden Silver Book, Part 3, gets as far as the birth of the mother, Martha Cary. Image from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), p. 555, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

KEITH, BELA (See Arza Keith, above.)
KEITH, CHARLES PERKINS
Charles P. was a grandson of Benjamin Keith and Martha Cary via their son Charles (b. 1794) who married Mehitable Perkins of Bridgewater, MA. He was thus a Generation 8/9 Alden Mullins; a nephew of Bela, Arza, & Ziba; and a cousin to Albert, Edwin, George Eldon and Ziba Cary Keith (all on this page). His son Preston Bond, below, was therefore a Gen 9/10 thanks to his father, but because Charles P. married another Alden-Mullins descendant, Preston B. had two lines. See his writeup for the second line. Charles's line, beginning with parents runs: Charles Keith, Martha (Cary) Keith, Simeon Cary, Mary (Crossman) Cary, Sarah (Alden) Crossman, Joseph Alden, John Alden & Priscilla + William Mullins. Image in Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 193, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Keith, Edward Herman
The Hon. Edward H. Keith of Bridgewater (b. 1859) was grandson of Abigail Thayer Wild and Pardon Keith. Abigail's mother, Abigail (Thayer) Wild, wife of Silas Wild, Jr., is in the Alden silver book, Part 1, as a Generation 5/6 Alden-Mullins and the marriage of Abigail and Pardon is in Part 4. The older Abigail's mother, Deborah (Arnold) Thayer, was also an Alden-Mullins, Gen. 5/6, via her mother Sarah (Webb) Arnold. Thus Edward H. was a Generation 8/9 and 9/10 Alden-Mullins and should be a nephew of the much-traveled adventurer Nathan Keith, below. Both Edward's lines were through Ruth Alden, then split at her daughters Mary and Sarah Bass. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 429, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
KEITH, EDWIN & ZIBA CARY
Sons of Capt. Ziba and Polly (Noyes) Keith, Edwin and brother Ziba Cary Keith were cousins of George Eldon Keith (below) and nephews of Bela & Arza (above.) See uncle Arza Keith's writeup, above, for the lineage. That makes them both Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullinses.

Keith, George Eldon
Born 1850 in what is now Brockton, MA, George was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins Descendant. His paternal grandmother, Martha (Cary) Keith, wife of Benjamin Keith, is in Part 2 of the 4 Alden silver books. He may also be a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant if his mother Sally Cary, daughter of Jonathan and Abigail (Perkins) Cary is granddaughter of Deacon Jonathan Cary and Mary Curtis of Brockton. His parents would have been second cousins, not unusual at that time. As there is a Thayer in his family tree as well, George may also have a third Mayflower line. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp.16-20, digitized by the Boston Public Library. There is a nearly unrecognizable sketch of him in Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 219, the book from which A. W. Kingman's bad picture comes (below). It shows what looks to be dark hair (bald) and a bigger mustache.
Keith, Horace Alden
Horace's mother, Thalia (Alden) Keith, brought one set of Alden-Mullins genes to Horace's table, but his paternal grandmother Mehitable (Copeland) Keith brought another, easier to trace. Her grandparents, Generation 5 Jonathan Copeland and wife Mehitable Dunbar appear in the Alden silver book, Part 1 and her parents, Jonathan Copeland and Deborah Otis are in Part 4. Thus Horace was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins AND Part 4 reveals that the Dunbars were Warren descendants. (See his Warren writeup for that line.)
Thalia Alden was the 2nd wife of Henry Snell Keith, born in 1830 to Deacon Elijah and Hannah (Bassett) Alden. Her paternal grandparents were Deacon Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Ames) Alden, according to her deposition when she joined the GSMD in 1898 as PA member #77, reprinted in Mayflower Descendant 37 no. 2 (1987):156. MA vital records show her father Elijah born in Chester Co., PA, and the NEHGS has no records online of a Massachusetts Ebenezer marrying an Elizabeth Ames, so that likely took place in PA. Theoretically Ebenezer could have been old enough to be a Revolutionary War patriot and certainly the child of one, and a look at the NSDAR's GRS online turned up multiple hits on an Ebenezer Alden b. MA 1770, married to Elizabeth Ames b. MA 1774. She was the daughter of an Elijah Ames, patriot, who died in Chester Co., PA. Ebenezer and Elizabeth died in the mid 1800s, having moved on to MD. Although a dozen DAR members claimed descent through Elijah Ames, none claimed Ebenezer as the son of a patriot, possibly unable to trace him. Their documents date back decades and contain numerous gaps. Further research will likely turn up Ebenezer's parents and grandparents in southeastern MA. He was likely a Generation 6 Alden-Mullins, making Horace Keith also a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 267, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Keith, Nathan
His double Alden-Mullins lines Nathan (1814-1899) owed to his mother, Abigail Thayer (Wild) Keith. She appears as Generation 6 in Part 4 of the Alden silver books, granddaughter of James Thayer (Sarah Bass, Ruth Alden, John) and Deborah Arnold (Sarah Webb, Mary Bass, Ruth Alden, John) and mother of Abigail Wild, who married Pardon Keith. Nathan is thus Generations 7/8 & 8/9 and theoretically should be an uncle of Edward Herman Keith, above. The book from which this photo comes devoted a fair amount of space to Nathan's exploits wrangling livestock in the Wild West (Arkansas, Indian Territory, and Texas), running a daguerrotype studio (New Orleans & Alabama), working in a store (Texas), then heading down into Mexico by mule and across Mazatlan, where he and a friend refurbished a ship that they sailed to San Francisco. He was a gold miner for several years but made most of his money in San Francisco investments. He supposedly returned to Brockton (North Bridgewater) in 1853. I mention this because his paper trail must be mind-boggling, but is all the same man. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 3 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1145, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
KEITH, PRESTON BOND
Son of Charles Perkins Keith, above, he is twice a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins. See Charles P.'s bio for his relationship to several of the other Keiths on this page and for his paternal line. Preston's mother was also a Keith, albeit on his mother's mother's side, i.e. Mary Keith Williams, daughter of Josiah Williams and Sylvia Keith. (The latter married in Bridgewater in 1814.) Thus Preston's second line runs: Mary Keith (Williams) Keith, Sylvia (Keith) Williams, Molly (Cary) Keith, Simeon Cary, Mary (Crossman) Cary, Sarah (Alden) Crossman, Joseph Alden, John Alden & Priscilla + William Mullins. Molly Cary was a sister of Martha "Patty" Cary (see Arza Keith, above.) Preston's parents were first cousins. Image in Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 693, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

KING, ARTHUR DELANO
The town committee that put together the 1912 second edition of this book knew that the Fullers and Aldens in their town (Ludlow, MA) were Mayflower descendants. It is up to the reader to follow the name changes of the females as they married, though, and see if any descendants had their photo taken for this book. Arthur was the only Alden-Mullins so pictured. According to the compilers he was born in 1843, served in the Civil War ("and returned without a wound"), then married a local woman, Lucy Jones Brewer, and had a son Howard Arthur King. If you are a descendant you will have to get the birth, marriage, and death records, etc. to prove this lineage to the Mayflower Society's satisfaction but this pretty book pretty much spells it out for you. Here is Arthur's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with his mother: Eunice B. (Alden) King, Josiah Alden, Josiah, Samuel, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. The 2nd Josiah was the Ludlow immigrant and that is included in the Alden silver book, with a birth year, 1773. Image and info from The History of the Town of Ludlow, Massachusetts, with Biographies....Centennial Celebration June 17, 1874 (Springfield: Springfield Printing, 1912), pp. 252, 337, 339, 414-5, digitized by the University of Massachusetts - Amherst.

KINGMAN, ABEL WILLARD
If you read this before 2.14.2019 you saw my lamentation about the image quality. The older-looking, scotch-taped edition on Internet Archive has an Allen Co digitization with images far superior to the Boston Public Library version. This much-better-looking Abel is a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins, born in 1838, and a Generation 9 Rogers descendant. The book from which this image comes gives his Alden lineage from Abel's mother: Clarissa (Alden) Kingman, Williams Alden, Samuel, Samuel, Joseph, Joseph, John & Priscilla. Clarissa's father "Williams Alden" (the "s" is because his mother was a Williams) is listed in volume 3 of the Alden silver book set, which reveals the second Samuel's bride (the Williams) to be a Generation 6 Rogers. However, the Rogers book gets to Hannah Williams's birth, then has a marriage date but neglects to mention it was to an Alden. That would have been helpful. Image and info from Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 9 of the Biographical section at the very back, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library.

KNEELAND - FRANK E., HENRY W., HERBERT A., I. RALPH, KATHARINE M.
Presumably all 5 are children of James Henry Kneeland, below - "presumably" because I. Ralph got left of the list on page 125 but his picture is in the same artistic arrangement beneath their father's photo. (This is why some of them are crooked.) The siblings are all Gen 8/10 Alden-Mullins descendants as follows, beginning with their father: James Henry Kneeland, Henry Hichborn Kneeland, Edward, John, Mary (Alden) Kneeland, Zachariah Alden, John, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (and her father William), all 3 eligible Mayflower ancestors if you wish to join the Mayflower Society. See their father's writeup and that of his sister, Nancy J. Kneeland, both below, for more details and issues with this line. The author credits Frank E. (b. 1870), the oldest, with much of the genealogical assistance with this book. Listed in the heading in alphabetical order, Frank's siblings in birth order are: Herbert Albion (b. 1873), Katharine M. (b. 1875), Henry Wilton (b. 1882) and I. Ralph presumably somewhere between Katharine and Henry. Image from Stillman Foster Kneeland, Seven Centuries in the Kneeland Family (NY: privately published, 1897), p. 124, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

KNEELAND - JAMES HENRY & NANCY J.
Siblings James (b 1843) & Nancy (b 1835) Kneeland should also be Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendants, but you will have to sort through Kneelands and provide a lot of documents to prove it. Alden silver books cover the line through the birth of grandfather Edward Kneeland, and after that the Kneeland genealogy from which this photo was taken offers a guide. That book is not without its pitfalls, so research carefully before turning in a Mayflower Society application because I did not find some of the claimed descendants of other pilgrims. The Alden line seems reasonably sound, as these were people contemporaries of the author, Stillman Foster Kneeland, and he seems to have obtained data from a lot of other New England Kneelands and it should have been hard to invent a grandfather Kneeland in that neck of the woods. Stillman had a legal background and was not a first-time author. Still, he had grandfather Edward, b. Boston 2 Feb 1775, being orphaned before the age of one. The Alden Silver Book vol. 3 has Edward's father dying when he was 20, but based on a newspaper ad. On the other other hand, the age of the John who died in 1795 is off by several years to be Edward's father, and there was indeed a "John Kneeland, late of Boston" in another ad on 6 March 1775. The Kneeland genealogy also differs with the Silver Book in terms of which Abigail married John Kneeland, but then again, Silver Books vol. 3 & vol. 1 don't agree, either. And being a printer did not automatically make the John Kneeland in the Silver Book the correct deceased John Kneeland. Samuel Kneeland, (b. 1696) was the state printer and the family thronged with printers. Trust but verify that the correct Edward has been identified (I find no other on the NEHGS, because he disappeared into the wilds of ME.) See James' children, above, for the lineage. He was father of Frank E., Henry W., Herbert A., I. Ralph, and Katharine M. Kneeland. Nancy married Albert S. Nichols and became the mother of Sarah Annette (Nichols), below. If you are descended from any of the colonial-era printer Kneelands, you are eligible for the Guild of Colonial Artisans and Tradesmen 1607-1783, which will accept your GSMD application in lieu of a pile of documents. Reportedly James was in Co. K of the 26th ME Vols so there should be useful data in a pension file at the National Archives, possibly in his service file as he enlisted at age 19, so probably needed a parent's signature. If you are a woman and his direct descendant you are eligible to join the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War. If you are a collateral descendant, check out the Woman's Relief Corps, the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic or the Auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (which any male relative can join.)

KNEELAND, NANCY J. (See James Henry Kneeland, above.)
LATCHER, MARSHALL
Born in Saratoga Co, NY in 1869, Marshall became a doctor and stayed on in NY, living into his 90s, per his findagrave writeup. Consequently you may be able to find decent documentation on him and other photos. This one would have been taken in his 30s. Marshall's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line ran through his mother, as follows: Rosena (Copeland) Latcher, Arad Copeland, David, William, William, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Bass) Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins + father, all 3 of whom qualify as pilgrim ancestors for Mayflower Society applicants. The Alden silver books by the GSMD get as far as the birth of David in CT, 1768. Your job is to get him and his son to Vermont, then NY state. There is a photo of a Lincolnesque Arad (with a middle name, "Hunt") on findagrave.com. Image and some info from from Andrew Van Vranken Raymond, Union University, Its History, Influence, Characteristics, and Equipment, Vol. III (NY: Lewis, 1907), pp. 52-3, digitized by the NY Public Library.

LITTLE - NORMAN, WILLIAM L. P., & CHARLES DAVID
Brothers Norman (left, 1806-1859), William (center, 1814-1867), and Charles (right, 1822-1903) were all born in Avon, NY and died in MI. The author of the book with these photos gives Norman the lion's share of the credit for getting Saginaw, MI up and running. He originally came to Saginaw in 1822/23 with his father Dr. Charles Little, but for whatever reason they opted to not relocate until 1836. Two things about this line: I believe Dr. Charles Little, whose birth date is specified in the book, is the same Charles Little in the Samson silver book, of whom there was no further knowledge but he was born on the exact same day. That Charles had a brother Norman and Dr. Charles named his son Norman. The silver book Charles had a brother David and the doctor named a son Charles David. However, you will have to prove Dr. Charles' link because the Saginaw book says nothing about family of origin. Secondly, findagrave shows Charles and wife Wealthy buried in NY but the book says Charles died in 1841 at the Saginaw home of his daughter, Wealthy. She was interred in NY in 1849 and the book does not mention her ever coming to Saginaw. This is a family that did have the wherewithal and connections to ship a deceased person back to his hometown for burial, so look for death records or certificates in Saginaw first, NY second. Findagrave also shows Charles' wife as the mother of his daughter but calls Norman & brothers Adeline's "half brothers." My money is on full brothers but because someone has now publicly sowed the seeds of doubt, you will be required to investigate that further should you try to join the Mayflower Society on this line. The youngest brother, Charles D. served in the Civl War & was active in his local G.A.R. post, also serving in the state legislature in the 1860s & '70s. William was mayor of East Saginaw and "Receiver" of the U.S. Land Office. In other words, all 3 should have great paper trails in MI & other, possibly better photos. The Little brothers are double Alden-Mullins, Samson, Standish, and Warren descendants. Their first Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs, beginning with the father: Charles Little, Gamaliel, Mary (Sampson) Little, David Samson, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. The second runs Charles Little, Gamaliel, John, Constant (Fobes) Little, Martha (Pabodie) Fobes, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, pilgrims John/Priscilla/William.

LONGFELLOW - ANNE, SAMUEL, & HENRY WADSWORTH
See the siblings' writeup in the Samson section for more details, links, other sources, and other images of Anne. These 3 siblings (and the others the Samson silver book missed) are also Brewster descendants and there is a 3rd picture of Anne there, and they are Warrens & Howland-Tilleys as well. Anne's photo, made around age 80, c. 1890, is courtesy of The Collections of the Maine Historical Society, and is item #16836 on Maine Memory Network. They are double Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and both lines begins with their mother. First: Zilpha (Wadsworth) Longfellow, Peleg Wadsworth, Lusanna (Samson) Wadsworth, Priscilla (Bartlett) Samson, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins + William Mullins, all 3 of the Mayflower. Second: Zilpha (Wadsworth) Longfellow, Peleg Wadsworth, Peleg, Mercy (Wiswall) Wadsworth, Priscilla (Pabodie) Wiswall, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John-Priscilla-William again. And if you were wondering, yes, the man on the far right is the author of the famous "Courtship of Miles Standish," of "speak for yourself, John Alden" fame based on oral traditions in his family. Given that his parents were born only 90 or so years after Alden's death, there is a reasonable chance the story and biographical details are true. Their aunt Lucia Wadsworth can be seen below.

LORING, A. P.
It turned out the "A" was for "Alden" and the "P" for "Porter," his mother's maiden name. The Alden-Mullins line is thanks to A. P.'s father, Barnabas T., for "Thayer." A. P.'s Gen. 8/9 line runs as follows: Barnabas T. Loring, James, Daniel, Anna (Alden) Loring, John Alden, Jonathan, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The birth of Barnabas T. is in the Alden Silver Book, but I found the link the roundabout way, via vital records on the NEHGS web site and an old book, which turned out to be the book cited in the Alden Silver Book: John Adams Vinton's Vinton Memorial (Boston: Whipple, 1858), pp. 317 & 359. James Loring's second wife was a Delano widow and consequently he is mentioned in one of the Delano Green Books but not his children. This image is of a young, pre-lawyer years A. P. because it comes from a book written by an old school chum about athletic and organized sports activities in mid-19th century Boston. The caption reads: "Harvard Varsity Crew - 1866," so A. P. was about age 20. He later moved to Lincoln, NE.

LORING, BAILEY & GEORGE BAILEY
Very distantly related to Hollis Bailey & A. P. Loring, above, Bailey Loring (left, 1786-1860) was a Gen 5 Alden descendant via John & Priscilla's youngest child, David, and father of Dr. George Bailey Loring (b 1817 Andover, MA) in the center & right photos. Rev. Bailey was a Brown University graduate, so there might be a picture in their archives as well. He was born in Duxbury and was a minister of Unitarian leanings in Andover, but the author of the book with his photo did not state where he died. He left 4 sons, 3 of whom married and left children, including George (twice) who had just 1 daughter, who married a Mr. Dwight and had 1 child before dying (with husband) in Switzerland. Dr. George was a military surgeon, politician, political appointee under presidents Garfield & Arthur, agriculturist, and ambassador to Portugal. He died in Salem, MA in 1891. Details are in the book with Bailey's image and the silver book issued in 2020 on descendants of David Alden confirms the details and names George's 3 children, Mr. Dwight's first name (Theodore F.) and says that they had one child, Lawrence Loring Dwight, in 1896 and he was a West Point cadet in 1917. That opens up a lot of potential for family history research.. Bailey's Alden-Mullins line starts with his mother: Alethea (Alden) Loring, Samuel Alden, David, John Alden & Priscilla + William Mullins. Bailey's image and info for both from Charles Henry Pope, assisted by Katharine Peabody Loring, Loring Genealogy (Cambridge, MA: Murray & Emery, 1917), pp. 63, 114-5, 193-4 digitized by the New York Public Library.

LORING, BENJAMIN WILLIAM/WILLIAMS
Born in Duxbury 1821, he went to CA and ran trains of pack mules. When the Civil War broke out he came back and somehow got assigned as acting master (captain) of a ship. The author of this book skipped the bit about Benjamin knowing how to steer anything but a mule. Presumably that all worked out. He captained ironclads, was a POW, and later worked at the Navy yard in Washington, DC, before moving to Oswego, NY, per the author. Descendants are eligible for membership in the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (females) and in Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (males.) If you find a better image, please let me know. His grandfather was an older brother (18 years) of Loring Bailey, above, making Benjamin and George Bailey Loring, below, 1st cousins once removed, and a more distant cousin of Hollis Bailey, also above. Benjamin was also a Warren & Doty descendant via a Little ancestor. See those sections for those lineages. Benjamin's Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs: William Little Loring, William Loring, Alethea (Alden) Loring, Samuel Alden, David, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. His birth is noted in the silver book for descendants of David Alden, published in 2020.

LORING, GEORGE BAILEY (See Bailey Loring, above.)
LOTHROP, GEORGE VAN NESS
George moved as a young man to Michigan, where a brother Edwin already was established, according to the town history of Easton, MA, which had this blurry photo and the names of his parents. Easton is not the easiest place to find vital statistics online, but given that his father's name was Howard Lothrop it wasn't hard to figure out that a Lathrop/Lothrop had married a Howard and the rest fell into place. Grandfather Edmund Lothrop leaving an 1811 will naming son Howard executor and charging him with the care of widow Betty helped. Here is George's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with his father: Howard Lothrop, Betty/Bettie Howard Lothrop, Abigail (Copeland) Howard, Jonathan Copeland, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, plus her father. Image & some info from William L. Chaffin, History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts (Cambridge: University Press, 1886), p. 744, digitized by the Library of Congress.

MAXIM, SILAS PACKARD
Silas co-authored the book from which this sketch comes and included sufficient genealogy to jump-start a search for pilgrim ancestors. A TAG article had told me that the immigrant founder of the Maxim family, Samuel, had married a descendant of Patience Brewster, and Silas noted that his mother was a Packard. My Packards from Maine are Alden descendants, like DeWitt Clinton Packard, below (who was just a friend of the family) so I began looking in both Brewster and Alden and found reference to Soule and Browne. Silas turned out to be a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins, Generation 8 descendant of George Soule, a Generation 9 Browne, and a 10 Brewster. Image and info from W. B. Lapham & Silas P. Maxim, History of Paris, Maine (Paris:1884), pp. 673-4 & frontispiece. Digitized by the Library of Congress.

MILLER, NORMAN L.
The "L." is possibly for "Little" as he is the nephew of Norman Little, above, and thus a double Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant, and a Samson, Standish, and Warren. Norman Miller (c 1832-c 1915) was the son of Charles, Norman, and William's younger sister Adaline Little (b. 1810). She married Hiram Miller in Avon, NY in 1830, according to the book with this photo (which also has a photo of Hiram and more biographical info but unfortunately no image of Adaline.) For the line beyond Adaline (Little) Miller, see Norman's writeup, above. See the other sections for those lineages. The book with this image contains several pages of Norman's recollections of early Saginaw, where he and his family settled in 1836, having arrived by canoe. Adaline actually preceded her brothers to the wilds of Saginaw in terms of permanently settling there. It's hard to be sure since all 5 have large beards, but Norman seems to look more like his father Hiram, whose picture is on page 125. Image and some info from James Cooke Mills, History of Saginaw County Michigan: Historical, Commercial, Biographical (Saginaw: Seeman & Peters, 1918), pp. 123-5, 127, 152, 160-2, 152, 153-5 digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

MURDOCK, JESSE
The Hon. Jesse Murdock (b. 1806) - the name is sometimes spelled Murdoch in the records - is a descendant of TWELVE Mayflower lines, counting Alden, Mullins, Howland, and Tilley as 4 distinct lines, which the GSMD does. The other lines are Warren, Brewster, Soule, Standish, Hopkins, Cooke, Samson, and Allerton. Yes, you will have to click on each writeup to read the lineages, and they run through both of his parents. Jesse was a double Alden-Mullins. Here is his 1st Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with his father: Jesse Murdock, Bartlett, Bartlett, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The 2nd veers off onto his paternal grandmother's line as follows: Jesse Murdock, Deborah (Perkins) Murdock, Hannah (Sampson) Perkins, Hannah (Soule) Sampson, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 200, digitized by U MA, Amherst but the vital records were all from the NEHGS online. The Alden silver books Parts 1 & 2 get the furthest in documenting any of the Hon. Jesse's lines, the births of Deborah Perkins and Bartlett Murdock #2. The Carver, MA vital records listed both Jesse's parents & grandparents in his birth record.
The Hon. Jesse Murdock (b. 1806) - the name is sometimes spelled Murdoch in the records - is a descendant of TWELVE Mayflower lines, counting Alden, Mullins, Howland, and Tilley as 4 distinct lines, which the GSMD does. The other lines are Warren, Brewster, Soule, Standish, Hopkins, Cooke, Samson, and Allerton. Yes, you will have to click on each writeup to read the lineages, and they run through both of his parents. Jesse was a double Alden-Mullins. Here is his 1st Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with his father: Jesse Murdock, Bartlett, Bartlett, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The 2nd veers off onto his paternal grandmother's line as follows: Jesse Murdock, Deborah (Perkins) Murdock, Hannah (Sampson) Perkins, Hannah (Soule) Sampson, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 200, digitized by U MA, Amherst but the vital records were all from the NEHGS online. The Alden silver books Parts 1 & 2 get the furthest in documenting any of the Hon. Jesse's lines, the births of Deborah Perkins and Bartlett Murdock #2. The Carver, MA vital records listed both Jesse's parents & grandparents in his birth record.
NICHOLS, SARAH ANNETTE
Her identification as a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins is problematic, though I believe correct, for reasons described in her mother's writeup, above. See Nancy J. Kneeland for the lineage and details. Sarah was b. 15 Jul 1868 to Nancy and her husband Albert S. Nichols, of Searsport, ME and according to S. F. Kneeland, married an Otis Stewart Chessman of Pittsburgh, grandson of a Chessman who emigrate to PA from NH. There is a picture of her very young daughter, Ethel Chessman on the same page as Sarah, Nancy, and Otis, so if you are a Chessman you might pursue an Alden-Mullins application and help untie some genealogical knots if no one else has already. This image is also from Stillman Foster Kneeland, Seven Centuries in the Kneeland Family (NY: privately published, 1897), pp. 121-2, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

NOYES, SARAH DEAN
Sarah (b 1864) studied to become a teacher, entering the class of 1881 at Bridgewater (MA) Normal School. She may have pursued that career before marrying Bernard A. Bigelow in Norwood, MA 11 years later. City directories could help trace her path. Sarah also had at least 4 siblings, including a brother who might have carried on the Noyes surname in New Bedford, MA, her home town. Sarah's lines include Alden-Mullins, Standish, and probably a Samson & Warren but those last two will require a little more skulking to prove. (See those other sections for those lines.) Sarah's Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line begins with her mother and runs as follows: Marcia A. (Hill) Noyes, Melinda (Thomas) Hill, Shadrach Thomas, Averick (Standish) Thomas, Ebenezer Standish, Zachariah, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus father William Mullins, all 3 Mayflower passengers. Image from a group photo held at the Clement Maxwell Library at Bridgewater State University, which digitized it for digitalcommonwealth.org.

PACKARD, ALICE LOUISE
Assuming she has been identified correctly, this 1915 photo from the Sharon, MA Public Library by way of Digital Commonwealth, shows 20-year-old Alice L. Packard. Alice, who became a school teacher, appears to have been an only child but if you think you are descended from one of her father's relatives, you might be an Alden-Mullins, Cooke, and Warren, as she was. Her Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: Alvin D. Packard, Dexter, Tillson, Calvin, Sarah (Alden) Packard, Samuel Alden, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, plus her father William, all 3 Mayflower passengers. The birth of Calvin is in Part 3 of the Alden silver book series and that also reveals her Cooke connection. See the Warren and Cooke sections of this website for those lineages.

PACKARD, DAVID TEMPLE
After graduating Amherst College in 1850, from whence this photo cometh, David (1824-1880) went on to become a minister and his home town (North Bridgewater, aka Brockton, MA) was apparently very proud because the vital record of his birth is where I found out that he was a Rev. and it gave his parents and grandfather. The Amherst Archives & Special Collections blog has this image, his birth & death years, and the story of the graduation photo collection of which this image is part. The line I have constructed depends on the accuracy of L. B. Goodenow's The Brett Genealogy, II (Cambridge: Murray & Emery, 1915), p. 132 with Mehitable marrying Jonas Packard, because there were 2 Jonas Packards in the vital records. Assuming it is, here is David's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with his father: David Packard, Mehitable (Brett) Packard, Samuel Brett, Sarah (Alden) Brett, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. David should also be a Warren descendant through his mother, but see that section for my speculation.

Packard, DeWitt Clinton
North Bridgewater/Brockton's longtime city clerk in the late 1800s-early 1900s, DeWitt Clinton Packard was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins twice. On his father's side great-grandfather William Packard (b. 1745) is cited as a Generation 6 descendant in the Alden silver books, Part 3, through William's maternal grandmother, Mehitable (Alden) Richards. That line runs: Washburn Packard, Sihon Packard, William Packard, Jr., Sarah (Richards) Packard, Mehitable (Alden) Richards, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. DeWitt's mother Hannah was also a Packard (b. 1810) and her grandfather is in the same silver book series. That line runs: Hannah (Packard) Packard, Mehitable (Harris) Packard, Abiel Harris, Abiah (Alden) Harris, Samuel Alden, Joseph, Joseph, John & Priscilla. Her Harris line makes DeWitt a Chilton descendant. See that section for his lineage. DeWitt's father was named Washburn Packard, so do not be surprised to find other Mayflower ancestors in his family tree.
Born in 1834, DeWitt was still alive when this book was published. The photo probably dates to the 1880s. He is an example of a phenomenon that dates to the Revolutionary Period, parents no longer naming their children after family but of prominent Americans, even neighbors to whom they were not related. Suspect this if you have a relative named "DeWitt C.," "Lorenzo D.," or "Henry C." (for NY Gov. DeWitt Clinton, "father" of the Erie Canal; Lorenzo Dow, the original tent preacher; or Henry Clay, author of the Missouri Compromise.) Names like "George W." for George Washington or "John Q. A." for John Quincy Adams are easier to guess today, but if you find a 19th century ancestor whose first or middle name is a surname rather than a first name, and you don't recognize it, search for a popular figure of that era with that name, or even a prominent, successful local person before you waste time trying to "prove" a link to Andrew Jackson, James Madison, etc. And bone up on your U.S. presidents! Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 682, digitized by the Boston Public Library but scanned from the hardcover copy by me at the Library of Congress.

PACKARD, SILVANUS
First cousin of Silvanus French, above, both Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendants were apparently named after an uncle Silvanus/Sylvanus Packard, born in 1752. This Silvanus was born 1789 to Lemuel Packard & Sarah Hunt and married in 1818, thus the bowtie (which is cool) fits for a man of middle age in the 1840s. Lemuel, six years younger than sister Amie/Amy (Packard) French, is also in Vol. 3 of the Alden Silver Book. Silvanus Packard's line runs: Lemuel Packard, Sarah (Richards/Rickards) Packard, Mehitable (Alden) Richards/Rickards, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Image from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), p. 505, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

PAINE, LEVI LEONARD
A minister and son of Levi Leonard Paine and Clementina Leonard, Levi was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins and Generation 8 Cooke thanks to his mother's mother, Nancy (Tomson) Leonard and her mother, Hannah (Thomas) Tomson's mother, Mary (Alden) Thomas. The Alden Silver Books, vols. 1 & 3, get just to Nancy's birth but the reliable Cooke volume will get you through the marriage of Nancy Tomson & Caleb F. Leonard. The NEHGS site will fill you in on both Levi's (of Randolph, MA) and grandparents Caleb and Nancy. It is worth looking to see if the Leonard side includes any Mayflower ancestry, as this old Bristol County ironworking family pops up in many Silver Books. Image from A. L. Brandegee, Farmington, Connecticut: the Village of Beautiful Homes (Farmington: Brandegee & Smith, 1906, p. 49, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

PATRICK, JENNIE
The biography on her went into great detail about her career as a singer, both in church choirs and apparently as a paid performer on the stage with notables of her day. There is also a lot of detail about her Alden and Blodgett lines and the Alden material is correct. The Alden silver book gets to the marriage of the first Alden Blodgett, then the vital records on the NEHGS will take you to his marriage and birth of son Alden, whose death record (naming parents) and will (naming Jennie's mother and the uncle mentioned in the book with this photo) are also there. What the book does not say is whether Jennie's 1878 marriage to New York printer William Walker produced any offspring. If not, Grandfather Blodgett's will named other aunts and uncles whom you might try if you think you have Blodgett ancestors from Worcester Co, MA. Jennie's Gen 9/10 line runs: Jane (Blodgett) Patrick, Alden Blodgett, Alden, Hannah (Alden) Blodgett, Daniel Alden, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William.)

Pearce, Mary Gray
Born in Norwich, CT in 1846, Mary's parents were Albert Tompkins Pearce of Little Compton, RI and Sarah Read/Reid Briggs of Assonet, MA. She was a Gen. 9/10 descendant of John Alden, Priscilla Mullins, and William & Alice Mullins. She moved to Assonet and in 1866 married John M. Deane of Freetown, MA. Very active in civic concerns, other photos might be found in the records of the Women's Relief Corps (W.R.C.) (Richard Borden Chapter, state, & national officer 1888+) and the DAR ( Quequechan Chapter). The photo is from Official Souvenir, G.A.R. - W.R.C., Springfield, Mass. 1895 (Springfield: Homestead, 1895), p. 36, digitized by the LOC. It was taken when she was no older than 39.
PHILLIPS, B.
An 18-year-old factory worker, this Bristol Co., MA bridegroom was an Alden-Mullins, Cooke, Browne, Soule, and Warren. This image belongs to a relative and as such is not in the public domain and not available for download.

Phillips, G.
G. Phillips of Bristol County, MA was a descendant of pilgrims John Alden and William & Priscilla Mullins (Gens. 9/10), George Soule (Gen. 9), and Richard Warren (Gen. 11). All of these lines passed through the family of his paternal great-grandmother, a member of the Paine/Payne shipbuilding clan in Freetown, MA. This photo was taken around 1896 and is probably a wedding portrait. He was about 33 years old. Webmaster's photo. This means you may not copy this photo in any way without written permission from me.
Pierce, Charles S.
A distant cousin of Horatio F. Copeland, above, Charles S. Pierce was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant due to his relationship to Daniel Copeland, brother of Horatio's antecedent Elijah. The Alden silver book Part 4 gets beyond Daniel and Elijah, both Generation 5, to son Deacon Cyrus Copeland who married Abigail Dyer of Bridgewater, daughter of Christopher Dyer and Sarah Bassett, a Generation 5 Cooke descendant mentioned in the Cooke silver book. . Charles's mother was Daniel's great-granddaughter. Charles's Alden-Mullins line runs: Elizabeth (Copeland) Pierce, Ward Cotton Copeland, Cyrus, Daniel, Jonathan, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. See his Cooke writeup for that Gen. 9 lineage. The book spells out Charles' lines but you can confirm Ward C. Copeland and others in between Charles and Part 4 on the NEHGS site. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 157, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
PINEO, STEPHEN SEDGLEY
Since he was born in 1850 and this book was published in 1898, Stephen is no older than 48 in this picture. Supposedly the first Pineo in New England was Jacques, a Huguenot who arrived in CT in 1690. I don't know how much research, if any, was done at the European end. This Stephen is a Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins (also a Samson and Standish.) If applying you may combine silver books to get the first generations as far as you can, so since hiis father's birth and marriage are in the Samson silver book, Part 3, you can put the Alden, Standish, and Samson volumes together to get to Gen. 8, two generations farther than most applicants. Stephen's Alden-Mullins line runs: David Pineo, David, Jonathan, Elizabeth (Samson) Pineo, David Samson, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus father William Mullins, all 3 Mayflower passengers from whom you can claim descent and join the Mayflower Society. See Stephen's Samson and Standish sections for more information and for those lineages.

Pitts, Helen & Eva
Suffragist Helen Pitts Douglass of New York, second wife of abolitionist Frederick Douglass of Maryland, and her sister Eva Pitts, were Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendants. Eva's photo, probably taken between 1884 and 1895, depicts her wearing a veil, as was customary for well-dressed women of her era. The sisters were also Rogers and Warren descendants. (See those write-ups for those lines.) All the lines were through their grandfather Gideon Pitts of Dighton, MA and Honeoye, NY. This one runs: Gideon Pitts, Gideon, Abigail (Richmond) Pitts, William Richmond, Elizabeth (Rogers) Richmond, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins.

POOL, OLIVE
The book with this photo has an interesting anecdote about the young Olive of Plymouth County (1768-1850) and how she came to marry the Rev. William Reed of Easton in nearby Bristol County. She was a Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins descendant and her birth and marriage are in the Alden silver book Part 5. Her marriage and 9 children are in the Samson book, Part 3. Olive's Mayflower lines are all via her paternal grandmother, with the Alden-Mullins as follows: Ruth (Fullerton) Pool/Poole, Ruth (Samson) Fullerton, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The image here is said to have been from a daguerrotype made when she was older, and loaned to the author by the family. Daguerrotypes were in use in the 1840s so Olive would have been 70+ when this was made. The book also contains a description of the finery she and her husband wore when married, including his white wig and cocked hat. See the Samson and Standish sections for those lineages. Image and some info from William L. Chaffin, History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts (Cambridge: University Press, 1886), pp. 264-267, digitized by the Library of Congress.

POWERS, HIRAM
The Vermont history with this photo rather runs its "Dr. Powers" together (there were several) but does convey the information that this line wound up in Cincinnati, so you might find more information and images on collateral ancestors in a book on that area. The sketch of Hiram, based on a letter to the author from his brother, offers vignettes of Hiram's career but does not come out and say that he was a famous American sculptor. He was. You can read about it on wikipedia, which has another, better image of Hiram (1805-1873) from an Italian collection that probably holds the copyright. The author also neglected to name Hiram's mother and with a brother named "J. Sampson Powers" one might suspect a Sampson line. Hiram's Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs: Stephen Powers Jr., Lydia (Drew) Powers, John Drew, Sarah (Delano) Drew, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden and Priscilla & William Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book Part 1 and Howland Vol. 23 Part 1 leave off with Lydia Drew marrying Stephen Power/Powers but the Philip Delano of the "Fortune" 1621 green book, Part 2 (family #s 368-499) also by the GSMD, has the birth, marriage, and death (in Italy) of Hiram, "world famous sculptor" - plus it names his mother, Sally Perry. Check his Howland-Tilley writeup for that lineage. Image and a lot of info from Henry Swan Dana, History of Woodstock, Vermont (Cambridge: Riverside Press, 1889), pp. 348-61, digitized by American Libraries and available on Internet Archive.

PRATT, AROLINE
This image is on Digital Commonwealth as "Aroline Soule" who "led the movement to establish Halifax [MA]'s Soldiers' Monument for Civil War Veterans," her son Charles W. Soule having died in the service in NC in 1862, age 18. Charles was also the son of husband John M. Soule, a farmer. Aroline (1820-1916) was an Alden-Mullins, Brown, and Warren descendant. The line is a little difficult to trace as her ancestors went back and forth between Boston and Plymouth County. Her Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line begins with her mother: Alice V. (Waterman) Pratt, Nathaniel Waterman, Mercy (Otis) Waterman, Mercy (Little) Otis, Elizabeth (Southworth) Little, Rebecca (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla (+ William) Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book gets as far as the birth of Mercy Otis but refers to her also by her married name, Waterman. The Warren book goes further & specifies that her husband was Nathaniel Waterman. See the Peter Brown section of this web site for that line.

The line is a little difficult to trace as her ancestors went back and forth between Boston and Plymouth County. Her Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line begins with her mother: Alice V. (Waterman) Pratt, Nathaniel Waterman, Mercy (Otis) Waterman, Mercy (Little) Otis, Elizabeth (Southworth) Little, Rebecca (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla (+ William) Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book gets as far as the birth of Mercy Otis but refers to her also by her married name, Waterman. The Warren book goes further & specifies that her husband was Nathaniel Waterman. See the Peter Brown section of this web site for that line.
PRATT, DWIGHT MALLORY (See Ezra Dwight Pratt, below.)
PRATT - EZRA DWIGHT & DWIGHT MALLORY
Father and son, they are Gen 7/8 and 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendants, respectively. The 1768 birth of Ezra's father Miner Pratt in the Saybrook, CT area is in the Alden silver book, which cites the books with these photos as one of its sources. The way it was organized, it helped greatly to know first that they are Alden descendants and that Ezra (b 1810) was the son of Miner because it's difficult to follow the generations and CT vital records are spotty in terms of being online. This time findagrave was actually accurate and helpful. Beginning with Ezra's father, this line runs: Miner Pratt, Jerusha (Chalker) Pratt, Jemima (Grinnell) Chalker, Lydia (Pabodie) Grinnell, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus her father William. Images & info from Theodore Sedgwick Gold, Historical Records of the Town of Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut, 2d ed.

PRATT, FRANCIS GREENLEAF, JR.
On his paternal grandmother's side, Francis (1850-1894) was an Alden-Mullins, Rogers, Priest, and Eaton descendant and a fairly close relative of Oliver & Solomon Eaton, above. Sally Edson, also above, niece of Solomon Eaton, was likely Francis's grandmother's sister. Francis worked in publishing and was a personal acquaintance of the author of the book with this photo, a history of their church in Middleborough, MA. He also turned out to be a distant cousin - see Thomas Weston's writeup below. On his father's side Francis was also a Warren & Allerton plus a Billington & Hopkins through his mother. (See those other sections for the lineages.) Beginning with his father, Francis's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs: Francis Greenleaf Pratt Sr., Lucy (Edson) Pratt, Lucy (Eaton) Edson, Jabez Eaton, Thankful (Alden) Eaton, John Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Most of the lineage data used came from the vital records and some probate records on the NEHGS but the image & a little biographical data came from Thomas Weston, Two Hundredth Anniversary of the First Congregational Church of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Middleboro: 1st Congregational Church, 1895), pp. 92, 120, 126, digitized by the Library of Congress.

RANNEY, LUKE
The book from which this image was taken was correct in noting that the subject's mother, Betsey Alden, was a descendant of John Alden & Priscilla Mullins but either did not know or did not mention that she had more than one Alden line. Luke (b. Ashfield, MA 1815) lived in MA, MI, and NY. As a NY state legislator he may have appeared in other photos you can find. Here is his Gen 8-9 straight-line Alden-Mullins descent to his mother: Betsey (Alden) Ranney, John Alden, David, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John & Priscilla. The other line, also Gen 8-9, runs: Betsey (Alden) Ranney, John Alden, Lucy (Thomas) Alden, Mary (Alden) Thomas, John Alden, Joseph, John & Priscilla again. The silver book gets as far as the birth of Luke's grandfather, John Alden of Ashfield and the Ashfield VRs on the NEHGS get you the rest of the way. Image and info from W. W. Clayton, History of Onondaga County, New York (Syracuse: D. Mason, 1878), p. 301, digitized by the Library of Congress.

RICHMOND - JOSHUA BAILEY, RALPH SUMNER, CARLETON RUBIRA JR.
Joshua researched and wrote the 676-page history of the Richmond clan and this photo graces the frontispiece. He looks either relieved to be done or proud of having identified three Mayflower lines: Alden, Rogers, and Mullins. I think proud. Joshua's Gen 9/10 A-M line runs as follows: Isaac Bailey Richmond, Joshua, Joshua, Perez, Elizabeth (Rogers) Richmond, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. That makes him a third cousin of the Pitts sisters, above. Image from Joshua Bailey Richmond, The Richmond Family 1594-1896 and Pre-American Ancestors 1040-1594 (Boston: author, 1897), frontispiece, digitized by the Boston Public Library. Ralph S. (1883-1959) was his oldest son and he also has a dashing uniformed photo on findagrave with the initials "S.S.U." after his name. It turns out that Ralph was in charge of part of the American Field Services (ambulance corps) in France during WWI, was awarded the Croix de Guerre with silver star, then headed all the overseas work of the AFS (some 2,500 ambulance drivers & related personnel) during WWII. For that he earned the OBE from the UK. He inspired his nephew Carleton Jr. (b. 1915) to serve in the AFS during WWII also, driving in the Middle East. The "Rubira" is from Joshua's wife, Josefa Rubira of Cuba, whose parents were from Santander, Spain. Ralph's image here is from his 1915 passport application, available on familysearch.org. He was 31 and 5'11" tall. Younger brother Carleton applied for a passport in 1909 but no photos were required then. His description says he was two inches shorter but had the brown hair & eyes as well. His son Carleton Jr.'s photo is courtesy of The Archive of the AFS Foundation at AFS's virtual museum, https://the-afs-archive.org/. The AFS also has a photo, probably dating to the WWII period, of Ralph, but it is very faded. You can see that with his Rogers writeup. (Many people you will have heard of served in the AFS, including Ernest Hemingway and Walt Disney; it is worth a visit. Frustratingly their web site does not say what AFS stands for so it is easy to overlook.) See Joshua's Rogers writeup for that Gen 9 (etc.) lineage.

Oldest to youngest, left to right, are the children of Maria Louisa Sampson (below) and husband Daniel Ricketson of New Bedford, MA. Arthur (b 1835), Anna (b 1836), Walton (b 1839), and Emma Louisa (b c 1842) are Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins and Samson, Standish, & Chilton descendants. Beginning with their mother, this line runs: Maria Louisa (Sampson) Ricketson, Zabdiel Sampson, Hannah (Cooper) Sampson, Hannah (Sampson) Cooper, Ebenezer Samson, David, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla + William Mullins of the Mayflower.

ROBINSON, EVERETT
The Eaton silver book gets as far as the birth of attorney Everett Robinson's maternal grandfather, Joel Eaton in 1751, and by backtracking you learn that Everett was also a Priest and Alden-Mullins descendant. Joel's birth is also in the Alden book, Part 3, and great grandfather Joseph Eaton's birth & marriage are in the Priest silver book. The book with this picture (left) gives only Everett's date (22 Jan 1816) & place of birth (Middleboro, MA) and his father (Josiah Robinson) but the vital records from that period are on the NEHGS and the family was small enough that they were not hard to find. Everett had at least the 2 sisters and 1 brother noted on the same page of VRs as he, so the odds are there are more descendants out there. Everett's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs: Caroline/Carolina (Eaton) Robinson, Joel Eaton, Joseph, Thankful (Alden) Eaton, John Alden, Joseph, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. See his Eaton and Priest write-ups for those lines. Image & some info from Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 236, digitized by the Library of Congress. Image scanned from a hard copy at the LOC by me for better resolution.

ROBINSON, GIFFORD S.
Born in IL in 1843 to parents from MA and residing in IA as an adult, Gifford is likely a descendant of more than what I found in a quick look, if only because I didn't get as far as figuring out which Gifford he was named for. And even that is just an assumption based on the snow white hair. He would be a Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins and a Gen 9 Standish. The Alden silver book, part 5, gets as far as the birth of his grandfather, Simeon Robinson. Of great help in getting past his father Israel Washburn (another name to check on) Robinson was the DAR's GRS database. Bristol Co, MA would be an area with relatively easy-to-find genealogical records and interest in proving DAR eligibility. Sure enough, two women had claimed descent from patriot Seth Robinson, great-grandfather of Gifford, and Seth turned up married to a Mayflower descendant on the NEHGS's database due to their collaboration with the GSMD in digitizing the 5th generation of the Mayflower silver (lineage) books. Gifford's Alden-Mullins line runs: Israel Washburn Robinson, Simeon Robinson, Hannah (Williams) Robinson, Zerviah (Staples) Williams, Hannah (Standish) Staples, Ebenezer Standish, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden of the Mayflower. Caution: ancestors with double names, such as "Israel Washburn" or "Gifford S." born after the American Revolution sometimes turn out to have no biological connection to a predecessor of that name (i.e., Israel Washburn.) In the exuberance of throwing off the yoke of colonialism, parents started naming children after home-grown Americans they admired or liked, often in their own community. Image & DOB from Benjamin F. Gue, Jr., History of Iowa, from the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century, Vol. IV (NY: Century History Co., 1903), p. 224, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

ROWE, HENRY MARTIN
He is a very distant cousin of the Tilsons on this page, and the book that Mercer Tilson has this photo and biographical information. The Alden silver book series gets as far as the birth of his great grandfather, Capt. David Packard of Bridgewater, MA (1742-1786) who served in the American Revolution but no one in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has so far claimed as a patriot ancestor, which is a shame. David had numerous children but died young and perhaps as the family dispersed they lost track of their ancestry. His probate record is on the NEHGS site (americanancestors.org) as are some of his children's vital records. What Mercer wrote about this family between Capt. David and Henry (b. 1839, West Sidney, ME) is upheld by what census records I found and one more generation mentioned on the Alden Kindred of America website. (Remember, you will have to produce birth, marriage, and death records plus probably probate, land, and military pension records to prove this line beyond the birth of Capt. David. You can not cite the book and definitely cannot site this website.) I am pretty sure that Henry is also a Peter Browne descendant, and you can see that line in the Browne section of my website here. Here is how his Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line should run: Elizabeth P. Tilson (Rowe), Olive (Packard) Tilson, [Capt.] David Packard, Mehitable (Richards) Packard, Mehitable (Alden) Richards, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus William Mullins) of the Mayflower. Image and info from Mercer V. Tilson, The Tilson Genealogy, from Edmund Tilson at Plymouth, N.

SAMPSON, AUGUSTUS N.
He was a member of the 19th century's "Greatest Generation" - the Union soldiers of the Civil War, the civilian support personnel (think Clara Barton inventing the Red Cross), and the Grand Army of the Republic and the Woman's Relief Corps for half a century afterwards. Augustus (1839-1901) was a MA Post Commander of the GAR in 1873 and the picture from which this blurry scan was snipped shows him in full regalia. He was a Gen. 8 descendant of pilgrim Henry Samson and the Samson silver book gets to the birth of his father, George Robinson Sampson. The NEHGS vital records also cover this family quite well. Backing up from George all the way to Henry you will pick up on Augustus's many other pilgrim lines, including Alden-Mullins and Standish, twice each. (See the Samson & Standish sections for those lines.) Augustus's 1st Alden-Mullins line (Gen 9/10) runs: George Robinson Sampson, Zephaniah, Joshua, Deborah (Samson) Sampson, Miles Samson, Lorah (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins & father William, all 3 of the Mayflower. His second Alden-Mullins line (also Gen 9/10) runs: George Robinson Sampson, Zephaniah, Joshua, Amos, Joshua, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, and the Alden-Mullins trio. Image from Bowdoin S. Parker, What One Grand Army Post has Accomplished: History of Edward W. Kinsley Post, No. 113, Department of Massachusetts, Grand Army of the Republic, Boston, Massachusetts (Norwood: Norwood Press, 1913), p. 44, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SAMPSON, DEBORAH
Yes, this is the famous MA woman who successfully disguised herself as a male, fought in the Revolutionary War, and was granted a service pension later. Her early biographers were aware of her pilgrim heritage, as she is just Gen 6 in the Alden silver book Part 5, and Gen 5 in the Bradford silver book. Wikipedia runs a version of this image and in the credit line says, "Engraving by George Graham. From a drawing by William Beastall, which was based on a painting by Joseph Stone. Used as the frontispiece of The Female Review: Life of Deborah Sampson, the Female Soldier in the War of Revolution, by Herman Mann." There is a lot published about her and as she gave public speeches later in life there are descriptions of her appearance. The consensus seems to be that it was not extremely difficult for her to pass herself as a male due to her height, reportedly 5'9" and she had a stout build. Deborah was born in Plympton in 1760, married Benjamin Gannett in 1785, and died in Sharon, MA in 1827. She left three Gannett children, so look for descendants by that surname. Beginning with her father, her Alden-Mullins line runs: Jonathan Samson/ Sampson, Jonathan, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The volume with this image (left) was downloaded from Internet Archive, digitized and uploaded by the California Digital Libraries. Another version of her image (right) was scanned from a hardcover copy of Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 330, at the Library of Congress. See her Bradford & Standish write-ups for those lines. |

SAMPSON, LEONICE MARSTON
Leonice (b 1811) was a fairly close relative of Maria Louisa Sampson Ricketson of New Bedford (below) and her Ricketson children (above.) She was also a fairly close relative of the Seaburys below, but through her Brewster line. Leonice was also a Standish, Brewster, Warren, Sampson, and Chilton descendant. (Check the other sections for the lineages.) Leonice was named for both parents, Leonice Holmes and Marston Sampson, and was born in Plymouth in 1811. She married judge Joseph W. Moulton of NY in RI in 1833 and they became world travelers. She had at least one child, a daughter, who had a child (neither named in the publication with her photo) so there were descendants. Leonice may have had siblings or half-siblings, too, and definitely had cousins. Here is a Gen 9/10 Alden line, which is essentially her Standish line also. Beginning with her father: Marston Sampson, Hannah (Cooper) Sampson, Hannah (Sampson) Cooper, Ebenezer Sampson, David, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla + William Mullins of the Mayflower. Her other line is Gen 8/9 and begins with her mother: Leonice (Holmes) Sampson, Deborah (Brewster) Holmes, Deborah (Seabury) Brewster, Deborah (Wiswall) Seabury, Priscilla (Pabodie) Wiswall, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John+Priscilla+William again. If Leonice's daughter had a female child and her line continued mother-to-daughter, the end descendants would qualify for the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) maternal DNA test program.

Image and info from John Ordronaux, Memoir of Leonice Marston Sampson Moulton, Read at the Request of the Old Colony Historical Society at Taunton, Mass., July 2, 1897 (Taunton: C Hack & Son, 1898), frontispiece, 8, 15, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
SAMPSON, MARIA LOUISA
Louisa Ricketson, as she was known in adult life, was an Alden-Mullins, Standish, Samson, Chilton, and possible Warren descendant via paternal grandmother Hannah Cooper. Her Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs: Zabdiel Sampson, Hannah (Cooper) Sampson, Hannah (Sampson) Cooper, Ebenezer Samson, David, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The Standish silver book gets only as far as the birth of David Samson and the Alden silver book Part 1 extends to the birth and marriage of his son Ebenezer. (See the Mystery/Fun Photos section for the Warren puzzle.) The Henry Samson silver book Part 3 is the one you want, as it gets you all the way to Louisa's parents. Moral of the story: look up your ancestor's full lineage in every Silver Book in which she/he is noted as a descendant. Where one lacks the other may get you over the hump. See Louisa's Samson writeup for more information on her and children Arthur, Walton, Emma Louise, and Anna Ricketson.

SAMPSON, MERRITT F.
A 2d cousin twice removed of Uriah, below - long story! See his Standish writeup for the challenges on determining Merritt's lineage and for that line. His Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line runs: Chester Sampson, Calvin, Jacob, Jacob, Isaac, Lydia (Standish) Samson/Sampson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. These Samsons/Sampsons are descendants of pilgrim Henry's brother, so genetically related but not Mayflower descendants on that line. Image and some info, including gaps, from The Leading Citizens of Hampshire County, Massachusetts (Boston: Biographical Review, 1896), pp. 355-6, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library. |

Sampson, Thomas B.
Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant Thomas was a War of 1812 US Navy veteran and later a sea captain. He was also son of a mariner and onetime Barbary Coast prisoner, Capt. Chapin Sampson of Boston, himself son of a sea captain, and wife Sarah Smith. His entire sixth-generation Samson lineage is in the Henry Samson Silver Book, which quotes at some length from the county history from which this image comes. Thomas was born in Waldoboro, ME in 1797 and died in or near Gardiner, ME in 1873 so this portrait is presumably of him in his early 70s. The Samson Silver Book reveals that Capt. Chapin Sampson was a descendant of the Alden-Mullins, Standish, and Warren families. These lines are from the marriage of Caleb Samson (son of pilgrim Henry), to Mercy Standish, a granddaughter of John & Priscilla (Mullins) Alden and Myles Standish, and the marriage of Capt. Chapin's father Chapin/Chaffin Samson to Betty Clift, daughter of Judith (Church) Clift, a Warren. The Alden Silver Book takes readers as far as the marriage of Caleb & Mercy's son David to Mary Chaffin and the birth of their last child, Chaffin Samson.

SAMPSON, URIAH
The birth of his Gen. 6 namesake grandfather is noted in the Alden Silver Book, vol. 1 and this Uriah (1806-1880), Middleborough, MA tavern keeper, is a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins. The journal from which this image was taken did not note the family's descent from John Alden, the Mullinses, or from Myles Standish but took care to alert the reader that he was NOT a descendant of pilgrim Henry Samson but of Abraham Samson, a possible brother. So by 1900 even people in Plymouth County were forgetting their ancestry. The marriage of Uriah #1, the birth of his son Elias (who opened the tavern), Elias's marriage and the birth of his children are in the vital records that can be found on the NEHGS site. Uriah's lineage runs: Elias Sampson, Uriah, Isaac, Lydia (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. (See his Standish writeup for that line.) Image and info from "The Pilgrimage to Plymouth July 11, 1921," in Old Dartmouth Historical Sketches No. 51 (New Bedford: Old Dartmouth Historical Society, 1921), pp. 28, 30, 33, 34.

SAMSON, DEBORAH
The marriage of the parents of Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant Deborah (Samson) Sprague is noted in the Alden, Standish, and Samson Silver Books but not as a descendant of Pilgrim Henry Samson. By her paternal line she was no relation to him. However, her father, Abner Samson, married a Sarah Samson who WAS, then married secondly Deborah Bisbee, who was NOT. Deborah's Alden line runs: Abner Samson, Nathaniel, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. It is difficult to tell anything about Deborah's hair, height, or build from this engraving but the author noted that she had a sister, Welthea (Samson) Freeman, wife of William Freeman, Esq. of Duxbury, d. 14 April 1847, whom she resembled. If you have an image of Welthea (hopefully without a giant bonnet) that we can publish here with Deborah, please let me know.

SAVERY, JOHN & WILLIAM
John Savery (1759-1853) made the cannonballs used by the USS Constitution in the War of 1812. (This should qualify female descendants for membership in the National Society U.S. Daughters of 1812.) He married Polly Atwood, daughter of Eli of Middleborough and Lydia Griffith of Carver, and became the father of the Hon. William Savery (right, b. 1815.) Beginning with John's mother, the line runs: Hannah (Perkins) Savery, Hannah (Sampson) Perkins, Hannah (Soule) Sampson, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (+ William) of the Mayflower.The Alden silver book Part 1 documented the marriage of Hannah (Sampson) Perkins and the Soule pink book included the birth of daughter Sarah, her marriage to Peleg Savery, and the birth of John. The Carver, MA vital records have William's birth in 1815 & marriage. You can access those on the NEHGS, a subscription site but worth every penny. Image of John and some info from A. W. Savary & Lydia A. Savery, A Genealogical and Biographical Record of the Savery Families (Savory and Savary) and of the Severy Family (Severit, Savery, Savory, and Savary) (Boston: Collins, 1893), pp. 83-84, digitized by the University of Toronto Library.

Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), pp. 273, 280, digitized by U MA, Amherst. The father-son resemblance is probably fairly strong if you ignore the beard. |

SAVERY, WILLIAM (See John Savery, above.)
SEABURY, ALEXANDER HAMILTON
New Bedford business magnate A. H. Seabury (1806-1887) was the second cousin once removed of Charles P. & Humphrey W. Seabury, below. Their common great-grandfather was Sion Seabury. Alexander's Gen. 8/9 line runs: Cornelius, Philip, Sion, Joseph, Martha (Pabodie) Seabury, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden Silver Book, Part 2, gets as far as the birth in 1740 or 1741 of grandfather Philip Seabury in Little Compton or Tiverton (where he was buried in 1819.) The NEHGS gives a surname for Philip's wife Sarah that the book from which this image comes did not: Price, of Little Compton, RI. It also verifies that Philip & Sarah had a son Cornelius in Tiverton, RI in 1769 who married a Mary Gray there 1794. They had son A. H. there 12 years later. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 80-82, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

SEABURY, CHARLES P. & HUMPHREY W.
Brothers Charles (1820-1890) and Humphrey W. Seabury (1817-1891) were Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendants three times. The tripling came about when their grandfather, Benjamin Seabury (Joseph, Martha (Pabodie) Seabury, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins) married Rebecca Southworth, whom the Alden silver book Part 2 describes as his half-first cousin AND second cousin. Her parents were Edward Southworth (Rebecca (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla) and Mary Fobes (Martha (Pabodie) Fobes, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla.) Benjamin and Rebecca's son, Constant Seabury, b. 1749 in Little Compton, is noted in the Silver Book. Constant married a Susannah Gray and their son, Capt. William Seabury married Rhoda Woodman (after her death he married her sister Sarah). All William's children were reportedly with his first wife. Charles here became a steamship captain and Humphrey a whaling master. Images & info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 570, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

SHERMAN - ARTHUR OUTRAM, HAROLD EDWARD, HERBERT AUGUSTUS, REGINALD PALGRAVE, & THOMAS TOWNSEND
These are five of the children of Edward Standish Sherman, below, so the line is the same as his but they are Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendants and Gen 8 Standish descendants. From left to right, they are, seated in front, Harold E. (b. NY City 1857) and Arthur O. (b. Fairfield, CT 1864) and standing in back, Herbert A. (b NY City 1863), Thomas T. (b. London 1853), and Reginald P. (b NY City 1860). The author of the book with these blurry photos did not follow the lines of siblings who died young or had no children, but their names are: Kate, Rose, Roger, Frederick, Henriette, and Alexander Hamilton Vinton Sherman (who went by Vinton.) See their father's writeup in the Alden-Mullins section for that line. Thomas's writeup describes him as an attorney and trustee of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society so he may be the Thomas Townsend Sherman who wrote the book. Because father Edward married a Howland-Tilley descendant, the siblings have a writeup in that section, where you can read more on their mother (Catharine Augusta Townsend) and see which line you think each one resembles. See their father's Standish writeup for that line. Image and info from Thomas Townsend Sherman, Sherman Genealogy (etc) (NY: Tobias A. Wright, 1920), 296-8, 356-60, 376, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

SHERMAN, CHARLES EDWIN WALLACE
Although you will still have to turn in vital records and other legal documents to prove it, my hasty online searching says that the writeup in this book is correct and Charles is a Generation 8 Standish via his mother Irene Shaw (Standish) Sherman, daughter of Jonathan Standish who is listed as Generation 6 in the Standish silver book. The book does not note that he was also a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins because his Standish line comes from Myles's son Alexander and his first wife Sarah Alden, a Generation 8 Hopkins descendant via his maternal grandmother Mary (Eddy) Standish, and a Generation 8 Soule via his maternal great-grandmother Rachel (Cobb) Standish. Charles's Alden-Mullins line is Irene Standish, Jonathan, Moses, Moses, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See the other Pilgrims' sections for those lines. Info and image from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Bristol County (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1883), p. 593. Digitized by the Library of Congress.

SHERMAN, EDWARD STANDISH
According to the Sherman family genealogy from which this photo was taken, he was born in CT in 1818 but as an adult was a metal merchant in NY City. His wife, Catherine Augusta Townsend, has a writeup in the Howland-Tilley section, so if you are a descendant of Edward, don't forget Catherine's line as well. It is through his mother, Susannah Staples, below, that Edward was an Alden-Mullins and a Standish, so check out her photo also. Edward's Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs: Susannah (Staples) Sherman, John Staples, Hannah (Standish) Staples, Ebenezer Standish, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus father William Mullins) of the Mayflower. This book has both a tiny photograph and a tiny sketch, from a different angle and minus the facial shrubbery, so I have included both. (Sharper scans from paper copies of this book would be appreciated.) See his Standish writeup for that lineage. Images and info from Thomas Townsend Sherman, Sherman Genealogy (etc) (NY: Tobias A.

SHERMAN, ELIZABETH BALDWIN and ELIZABETH THACHER, ELIZABETH SHERMAN ARNOLD, AND ELIZABETH SHERMAN KENT
Left to right, that is a lot of Elizabeths - 4 generations, the oldest of whom is on the far left, Elizabeth Baldwin (Sherman) Thacher (1823-1917). She was the sister of Edward Standish Sherman, above, so like him a Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins and a Standish as well. See Edward's writeup for the lineage. The senior Elizabeth was born in CT and died in CA. Her daughter, Elizabeth (Thacher) Kent, was born in CT in 1868. Granddaughter Elizabeth Sherman (Kent) Arnold was born in Chicago in 1894, married in Washington, D. C. (George Stanleigh Arnold), and had baby Elizabeth Sherman Arnold in San Francisco in 1915. The baby, who would be 104 now, would be a Gen 10 Standish. Image and info from Thomas Townsend Sherman, Sherman Genealogy (etc) (NY: Tobias A.

SHOCKLEY, WILLIAM IRVING
A sea captain and son of sea captain Humphrey Alden Shockley, William was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins and a Gen. 10 Chilton descendant thanks to paternal grandmother Sarah "Sally" (Alden) Shockley, named in the Alden silver book Part 3 as the daughter of Humphrey Alden (also a sea captain.) The Alden Kindred site was helpful on this one as the NEHGS had many Sarah/Sallys and the former helped me identify Humphrey Alden as her father. Her death record confirmed that. William's Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Humphrey Alden Shockley, Sarah (Alden) Shockley, Humphrey Alden, Austin, Jonathan, Jonathan, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See his Chilton writeup for that line. Image from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 343, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SMITH, AZARIAH
A Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, Azariah was the grandson of a couple whose marriage is in the Alden silver books. Deborah Alden of Stafford, CT married David Smith of Ashfield, MA in 1793. Azariah's parents migrated west with the early Mormon settlers, with the father marrying three times and having many children. The age spread was sufficient for Azariah to have been old enough to be his youngest sister's grandfather. Thus, if you are confused by this family, you probably have the correct Smiths and will need to check in NY, OH, IN, IL, MO, and UT for records that cover 1828 to 1867. Azariah's line runs: Albert Smith, Deborah (Alden) Smith, Barnabas Alden, Daniel, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus her father William, all three Mayflower passengers. Image and some info from History of Sanpete and Emery Counties, Utah (Ogden: Lever, 1898), pp. 162, 184-5, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

SNELL, ABBIE F., MARTHA A., PHEBE M., and TIRZAH S.
These four sisters were all born in North Brookfield, MA to Tirzah Strong and her husband the Rev. Thomas Snell, who is in the Alden silver book set, part 3, as Generation 6. (See their entry in the Cooke section for that Gen 7 line.) The daguerrotype images and those of Thomas and his sons on this page are courtesy of "The Splendid Eminence" blog of the Amherst College Archives & Special Collections department which thoughtfully attached the pictures to a handwritten family genealogy that identified all of them and gave their spouses, dates & places of birth and death, and marriage dates. Their Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line runs as follows: Thomas Snell, Ebenezer, Zachariah, Anna (Alden) Snell, Jonathan Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. Assuming the creator of the chart was correct, Martha (1806-1886) married Moses Porter (1799-1876) and moved to MN, where she died in Northfield, he in Waterford. Tirzah (1818-1903) married E. C. Emerson (b NH 1807 - d MA 1888) in 1839. Abbie (1823-1863) did not marry and remained in North Brookfield. Phebe (1827-1906) married Lewis Thorpe in 1854 and died in Athol, MA. There were a few siblings who died before daguerrotypes could be made. Thank you to the Amherst College Archives & Special Collections department for granting users permission to share these images.

Snell, William Bradford
Apparently no relation to pilgrim William Bradford, William Snell was a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant. His line runs: Capt. Elijah Snell, deacon Elijah, Josiah Snell, Jr. Anna (Alden) Snell, Jonathan, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. (The book from which this image was taken claims that his line was from John & Priscilla's son Zachariah.) William was born in 1821, around or in East Winthrop, ME. The Alden silver book gets as far as the birth of the younger Elijah Snell. William was a state senator in Maine, then the 1870s and '80s, a court judge in Washington, DC.

SOULE, EUGENE T.
Husband of first, Annie May Winsor (1856-1898, below), Eugene T. (b c 1850, Duxbury, MA) had at least one child because a MA descendant donated their photos, probably taken for their 1881 wedding, to the Massachusetts Memories Roadshow, which archives its donated images at the U of Mass Boston's JP Healey Library. The library in turn allows Digital Commonwealth to share them for educational purposes (such as this website.) If you are a descendant, check out Annie's writeup, below, for her Standish, Soule, Samson, Warren, and Alden-Mullins lines, which are in addition to Eugene's Alden-Mullins, Soule, Samson, and Standish ancestry. (See those sections for the other lines.) Eugene has five Alden-Mullins lines, three maternal and two paternal. His first maternal line, Gen 10/11, runs: Caroline (Sampson) Soule, Eden Sprague Sampson, Elijah, Deborah (Samson) Samson, Miles Samson, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. He has two maternal Gen 9/10 lines, first: Caroline (Sampson) Soule, Eden Sprague Sampson, Elijah, Amos, Joshua, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John-Priscilla-William again. Second: Caroline (Sampson) Soule, Polly (Sampson) Samson, Nathaniel, Abner, Nathaniel, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John-Priscilla-William again. These are all Myles Standish lines as well, as his son married an Alden daughter. His paternal lines, both Gen 9/10, runs first: Thomas Soule 2d, Thomas, Jane (Weston) Soule, Mary (Southworth) Weston, Constant Southworth, Mary (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John-Priscilla-William. And finally, Thomas Soule 2d, Thomas, Simeon, Sarah (Southworth) Soule, Jedediah Southworth, Sarah (Alden) Southworth, Jonathan Alden, John-Priscilla-William.
Husband of first, Annie May Winsor (1856-1898, below), Eugene T. (b c 1850, Duxbury, MA) had at least one child because a MA descendant donated their photos, probably taken for their 1881 wedding, to the Massachusetts Memories Roadshow, which archives its donated images at the U of Mass Boston's JP Healey Library. The library in turn allows Digital Commonwealth to share them for educational purposes (such as this website.) If you are a descendant, check out Annie's writeup, below, for her Standish, Soule, Samson, Warren, and Alden-Mullins lines, which are in addition to Eugene's Alden-Mullins, Soule, Samson, and Standish ancestry. (See those sections for the other lines.) Eugene has five Alden-Mullins lines, three maternal and two paternal. His first maternal line, Gen 10/11, runs: Caroline (Sampson) Soule, Eden Sprague Sampson, Elijah, Deborah (Samson) Samson, Miles Samson, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William) of the Mayflower. He has two maternal Gen 9/10 lines, first: Caroline (Sampson) Soule, Eden Sprague Sampson, Elijah, Amos, Joshua, Mercy (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John-Priscilla-William again. Second: Caroline (Sampson) Soule, Polly (Sampson) Samson, Nathaniel, Abner, Nathaniel, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John-Priscilla-William again. These are all Myles Standish lines as well, as his son married an Alden daughter.

SOULE, GILBERT
Capt. Gilbert Soule of ME & NH (1820- was a Generation 8 Soule descendant. (See his Soule section description for line of descent.) Via three female ancestors he was also a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins and a Generation 8 Doty (twice). The Soule Pink Books get as far as his father, Capt. David Farnham Soule (#425iii) in Generation 7 and both his wives, and tallies with the data in the book from which this image was taken. That said, you would still have to prove Gilbert's birth as their son. The Doty book gets as far as Gilbert's great-grandmother, Patience (Wormall) Soule, and great-great grandmother Hannah (Delano) Soule. The Alden and Doty books mention the birth of the latter's son John Soule. Gilbert's Alden-Mullins line runs: David Farnham Soule, Samuel, John, Hannah (Delano) Soule, Jonathan Delano, Rebecca (Alden) Delano, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Image and info from History of Coös County, NH (Syracuse: Ferguson, 1888), pp. 559-61. Digitized by the University of New Hampshire Library. There is a description of his appearance in this book, saying that he was 5'11" and his "average weight [was] about 230 pounds." His eye color was "light blue" and his hair "dark brown."

Soule, Lawrence Porter
A Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant, Lawrence (b. Duxbury 1831, d. Cambridge 1910) was a descendant of 6 other Mayflower travelers, including George Soule and Henry Samson (twice) in Generation 7. All of his Pilgrim ancestors were on his father's side. Lawrence was born 1831 in Duxbury to Capt. Stephen (1792-1868) and Lydia (Pierce) Soule (m. Duxbury 1816) and was the grandson of William (d. 1820 Duxbury) and Priscilla (Sampson) Soule (c 1761-1844, d. Duxbury). His Alden-Mullins line runs: Stephen Soule, Priscilla (Sampson) Soule, Ruth (Bradford) Samson, Abigail (Bartlett) Bradford, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Other Mayflower ancestors include Bradford (Gen 8) and Brewster, Rogers, and Warren (Gen 9). All of these lineages are detailed, albeit confusingly, in the following book and the NEHGR site is very helpful with the vital records. Remember, you would need to document every link to join a lineage society such as Soule Kindred in America, Alden Kindred, Colonial Dames of the XVII Century, or the GSMD.

SOULE, Oakes Sampson
Housewright & lumber merchant Oakes S. Soule (1809-1890) was a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins and Generation 7 Standish, as follows, starting with his father: Aaron Soule, Benjamin, Benjamin, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. (Sarah Alden's husband was Alexander Standish, son of Myles of the Mayflower.) He was also a Gen 7 descendent of pilgrim George Soule. His father Aaron (b. Plympton 1769) is in the Soule Pink Book, Pt. 1 in family #336. I am sure Soule Kindred of America would love to hear from you if you believe you are a descendant. He should not be difficult to document since he stayed in the area and is not many generations removed. Despite his middle name, I find no evidence that Oakes was a descendent of pilgrim Henry Samson via his mother Ruth Samson of Plympton, daughter of Capt. Thomas Samson & Ruth Bryant. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1089, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

SOULE - RUFUS ALBERTSON & THOMAS HOWARD JR.
Brothers Rufus (b 1839 Mattapoisett, MA) & Thomas (b 1844 New Bedford, MA) Soule were distant cousins of William G. Soule, below Rufus was an infantryman and Thomas served in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War. They were Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendanst thanks to a Generation 4 Soule marriage (Micah) to a Generation 4/5 Alden-Mullins (Mercy Southworth). The brother's Alden-Mullins line, beginning with their father, runs: Thomas Howard Soule, Thomas, Constant Southworth Soule, Mercy (Southworth) Soule, Constant Southworth, Mary (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins plus her father William Mullins, also a Mayflower passenger. See the Soule writeup for that lineage. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M.

SOULE, THOMAS HOWARD JR. (See Rufus Albertson Soule, above.)
SOULE, WILLIAM
Dr. William Soule formerly graced the "Mystery/Fun Photos" page. Eventually with the help of the NEHGR and some guesswork I figured out his Gen. 7 link and in the process learned he had 2 Alden-Mullins lines, 2 Standish lines, and Allerton, Cooke & Hopkins lines as well. One Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs: Ivory Soule, Zerviah (Cushman) Soule, Sarah (Ring) Cushman, Zerviah (Standish) Ring, Ebenezer Standish, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The Gen 7/8 line is: Ivory Soule, Beza, Ebenezer, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. Thus William's grandparents were 2d cousins, once removed. The Alden silver book Part 1 contains the entire listing on these lines. It leaves off with the marriage of Gen 5 Sarah Ring to Isaiah Cushman on pg 427, with no reference to him being the father of the "Zeruiah" Cushman marrying Beza Soule on page 420. More generations may be added in the future as the Silver Book series expands to generations 6 & 7. See William's Soule writeup for more details on solving this mystery.

SOULE, WILLIAM G.
The Maine Soule families, and there are many, can be tough to untangle. With the help of vital records, census records, the GSMD's Alden silver book, and the 1798 MA & ME Direct Tax records all on the NEHGS site plus G. T. Ridlon's Sole-Solly-Soule-Sowle-Solis genealogy from 1926, digitized on Internet Archive, it looks like this George Soule descendant is also a triple Alden-Mullins. He is a distant Southworth cousin to Thomas Howard Soule Jr. and Rufus Albertson Soule, above, but due to two Southworth cousin marriages in his line, William G. is a triple Alden-Mullins. Said to have been born in Waterville, ME (about 1835) and the father of 3 sons and 2 daughters, William G. was a Gen 8 Alden-Mullins as follows, first: [Thomas] Jefferson Soule, Pelatiah, Jonathan, Mercy (Southworth) Soule, Constant Southworth, Mary (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Second: [Thomas] Jefferson Soule, Pelatiah, Jonathan, Mercy (Southworth) Soule, Rebecca (Simmons) Southworth, Mercy (Pabodie) Simmons, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla. Third: [Thomas] Jefferson Soule, Pelatiah, Honor (Southworth) Soule, Benjamin Southworth, either Constant or Benjamin Southworth, Mary (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John & Priscilla. The "either" is straight from the Alden silver book, part 2, page 49.

SOUTHGATE, GEORGE A.
The book from which this image was taken gives a rather confusing account of Dr. Southgate's relationship to John Alden and there are other ancestors named Fuller and Warren, none of whom appear to be descendants of Mayflower passengers of the same name. The Alden silver books get as far as the birth of Gen. 6 Elizabeth Wheeler, mentioning that her parents had a son-in-law named Elijah Warren. Vital records on the NEHGS unearthed George's actual Gen 9/10 line: Charlotte W. (Fuller) Southgate, Charlotte (Warren) Fuller, Elizabeth (Wheeler) Warren, Mary Belcher (Henshaw) Wheeler, Elizabeth (Bass) Henshaw, Joseph Bass, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins.

SPOONER, NATHANIEL SPRAGUE
The Hon. Nathaniel, a judge like his grandfather Walter Spooner, was a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins, and Nathaniel's birth and three marriages are in the 2020 Alden Silver Book for descendants of John & Priscilla's son David. Until that book was available a lot of 'splainin' had to be done about this line but Nathaniel's Alden-Mullins line proved to run as follows: Seth Spooner, Alathea (Sprague) Spooner, Noah Sprague, Ruth (Alden) Sprague, David Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Nathaniel was the first cousin once removed of Capt. Walter Spooner, below. A better picture would be appreciated!

SPOONER, [Capt.] WALTER
A great-grandson of the above Nathaniel Sprague Spooner's grandfather, Judge Walter Spooner, Capt. Walter (1814-87) would be a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins. His line runs: Rounseville Spooner, Alden Spooner, Alathea (Sprague) Spooner, Noah Sprague, Ruth (Alden) Sprague, David Alden, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins.

SPRAGUE, CHANDLER
Via his maternal line, last manufacturer Chandler Sprague was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins. (He is listed as "last manufacturer" everywhere and the word here refers to a shoe part.) I owe this find to Alden Kindred, because it was difficult to find which Lydia Thayer Chandler's father had married. It did not help that the father's name was listed as "Eliphaz," "Eliphel," and "Alpheus" (on the death certificate, the place least likely to be accurate.) The Alden silver books get as far as Ruth (Capen) Thayer. Chandler's line runs as follows: Lydia Brackett (Thayer) Sprague, Levi Thayer, Ruth (Capen) Thayer, Ruth (Thayer) Capen, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Image and father's name and birthplace from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), p. 663, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

STAPLES, SUSANNAH
Outside of being a Mayflower descendant on three lines (Alden, Mullins, and Standish), Susannah's claim to fame was being the daughter-in-law of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Roger Sherman. This marriage is noted in the Alden silver book, part 5. Her birth (only) in 1779, probably in Canterbury, CT, is recorded in the Standish silver book. Susannah's Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins line would run: John Staples, Hannah (Standish) Staples, Ebenezer Standish, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. See her Standish entry for that line. If you can find a paper copy of this book, a sharper scan of this image would be appreciated.

STEARNS, JOSIAH HOWE
Not to be confused with his father Josiah Stearns, also a minister, this Josiah is a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins through his mother, Abigail Richards Howe, second wife of the first Josiah. Their marriage is documented in the Alden silver book Part 4, and the Mayflower line goes up via the Thayers. The complete lineage is: Abigail Richards (Howe) Stearns, Joana (Richards) Howe, Abigail (Thayer) Richards, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins.

STETSON, ELISHA
This is a rare Gen 6/7 descendant with a writeup in a GSMD silver book and a picture on this web site. Elisha (1799-1869) is in Part 4 of the Alden silver books, published n 2015, on page 228. He was a shipbuilder, apprenticing with brother Alpheus, according to the Stetson Family publication with this image. Twice he was burned out and twice he started over, apparently with success, and seemed to have spent most of his adult life in Medford. Since their father was a state legislator there should be a decent paper trail on this group, which included 7 siblings who lived to adulthood, most of whom married and left children. Elisha's line, beginning with his mother, runs: Sarah (Copeland) Stetson, Joseph Copeland, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, plus her father William, all of the Mayflower. Image and info in the booklet for the 1911 reunion, bound with other booklets and published as Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated) (Rockland, MA: A. I.

STODDARD, COLBY
His father's name was Charles Bartlett Stoddard, which should give you a clue, and signals that the family "knew who they were." They don't all; it pays to dig around a bit because sometimes after 250 years or so have passed people forget their less-well-known pilgrim ancestor or remember the wrong pilgrim, or sometimes invent a pilgrim and claim a relationship. In the case of Colby (b 1877), he forgot an Alden-Mullins, a Cooke, a Doty, and a Brewster. Colby's Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: Charles Bartlett Stoddard, Betsy (Bartlett) Stoddard, Daniel Bartlett, Betty (Bartlett) Bartlett, Silvanus Bartlett, Elizabeth (Bartlett) Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The silver books end with the birth of Daniel, but with no date, so you'll need a better link between the two to join the GSMD, but it was in there that the family moved to Vermont and the trail picks up again. Image & info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1904), pp. 157-8, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

SWIFT, MINNIE FRANCES
Born in Brockton, MA in 1875, Minnie was the mother of Bernice Alden (Dexter) Panton, above, and responsible for her Alden-Mullins & Cooke lineage. (Her husband gets credit for Bernice's Brown & Warren lines.) Minnie's Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line runs: William H. Swift, Elizabeth Hathaway (Alden) Swift, Oliver Alden, David Alden Jr., David, David, John, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (& her father William Mullins. You can join the Mayflower Society as a descendant of any of the three.) Whether her Swift line leads anywhere is TBD; there are too many Swifts with the same names and not leaving wills naming heirs. Image & some info from William A. Warden & Robert L. Dexter, Genealogy of the Dexter Family in America, Descendants of Thomas Dexter, Together with the Record of Other Allied Families (Worcester, MA: Blanchard Press, 1905), pp. 301-2, digitized by the LOC.

Taber, Amy
Born in 1773, Amy Taber had memories of Washington's troops in her neighborhood. Her marriage to Benjamin Shove in Oblong, NY united two transplanted Bristol County, MA Quaker families and inspired her grandson's book. Amy was a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant and Generation 7 from Thomas Rogers. These three lines she could credit to her mother, Anna Theresa (Pearce/Pierce) Taber/Tabour. Her Cooke, White, and Warrens line she can credit to her father, Thomas Taber, if the book from which this info was taken has identified the correct Thomas. Anna Theresa ("Antrace"), her husband, and parents can be found in the Rogers Silver Book, parents alone in the Alden silver book Part 2, her father in the Cooke & White books. Her Alden-Mullins line runs: Anna Theresa "Antrace/Anstres/Annatrace/Ansithris" (Pearce/Pierce) Taber/Tabour, Deborah (Searle) Pearce/Pierce, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. See Amy's other write-ups for those lines. Image from Benjamin Shove, Thomas Taber and Edward Shove – A Reminiscence (Quaker Hill, NY: Quaker Hill Conference Association, 1903), frontispiece, digitized by the Library of Congress. A scan of the original of this image would be appreciated.
Taber, Stephen
A great-nephew of Amy Taber, above, Stephen served as U.S. Representative from New York during the Civil War years, when this photo was taken. He was a grandson of her brother William, a judge, and son of Thomas II, who also served in the U.S. Congress. (A photo would be appreciated.) Like his great aunt he is an Alden-Mullins, Cooke, White, Warren and Rogers descendant (Generations 8 &/or 9 on all). If you are researching this family, remember that it was due to his grandfather William's second marriage to Hannah White, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Cadman) White, that Amy and Stephen are also descendants of Francis Cooke, Richard Warren, and pilgrim William White. Grandfather William's first marriage was to a Soule. ARC Image 526607, RG111, Records of the Office of the Chief Signal Officer 1860-1985, National Archives and Records Administration.
TALLMAN, WILLIAM
Seen here on a Fairhaven High School senior trip to George Washington's home in Mt. Vernon, VA, William must have been relatively well off to afford to (a) go to high school at all and (b) travel hundreds of miles with classmates. His parents' marriage record says his father was a photographer and I think I recall a Tallman Studio in New Bedford, based on my mother's collection of photos from old school chums of the 1930s and '40s. This image comes from a group portrait owned by the New Bedford Public Library and online courtesy of Digital Commonwealth. Here is a link to the photo, which was a newspaper clipping identifying each individual student. A look at the NEHGS site quickly turns up William's birth record and his parents' marriage. Seeing that his mother's maiden name was Delano sent me to the Delano "green books" published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. There they were, William's parents. I will leave the details to you, gentle reader, but William's paternal grandparents were both Delanos and the writeup in the green book claims Alden-Mullins, Cooke, Hopkins, and Warren descent from the grandmother alone. The grandfather added another Warren line, an Allerton, and a Priest. You can enlarge this photo with decent results, as you can see on the left.

TAYLOR, OLIVER ALDEN
Like his grandfather Timothy Alden (above) a minister, Oliver (1801-1851) was born in Yarmouth, MA and died in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Essex Co, MA. (His brother Timothy Alden Taylor wrote the biography from which this photo comes and omitted the "by-the-Sea" part.) Chapter one contains biographical and genealogical information but is sometimes confusingly worded. Oliver's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs: Martha Shaw (Alden) Taylor, Timothy Alden, Timothy, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower, along with her father William Mullins. You can join the Mayflower Society on any of those 3 passengers. Image and info from Timothy Alden Taylor, Memoir of the Rev. Oliver Alden Taylor of Manchester, Massachusetts. With a Portrait, 2nd ed. (Cleveland: Jewett, 1854), frontispiece and pp. 2-17, digitized on the Internet Archive.

THACHER, ELIZABETH (See Elizabeth Sherman, above)
THAYER, ABIGAIL
According to the author of the book from which this photo was taken, Abigail received a golden spoon from the Daughters of the American Revolution in honor of the military service of her father, Eliphaz Thayer of Braintree. Abigail was what the DAR calls a "Real Daughter," meaning that she was the daughter of a patriot AND a member of the DAR. She was #29545, which you can see in her entry on the GRS database. (The DAR sells Record Copies of members' entire application if you ever want to see what evidence someone used for a genealogical relationship.) Abigail's Mayflower line runs through her mother, though, as follows: Deliverance (Thayer) Thayer, James Thayer, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book Part 4 will get you as far as the birth of Abigail in 1805 to Deliverance & Eliphaz. The book notes that she died in 1904 at age 99, unmarried.
This image came from Augustus Ephraim Alden, Pilgrim Alden (Boston: James H. Earle, 1902), p. 189, scanned by me.

THAYER, DAVID
Nephew of Abigail Thayer, above, Dr. David Thayer was a double Gen 7/8 (via each parent) and a Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant. One Gen 7/8 line is the line he shares with Aunt Abigail via his mother, also named Deliverance (Thayer) Thayer, which goes on to Abigail's Deliverance (Thayer) Thayer, etc. David's Gen 7/8 paternal line runs: Nathaniel Emons Thayer, Esther (French) Thayer, Esther (Thayer) French, Sarah (Bass) Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden, Priscilla Mullins and her father William. His Gen 8/9 line, also maternal, is: Deliverance (Thayer) Thayer, Deliverance (Thayer) Thayer, Deborah (Arnold) Thayer, Sarah (Webb) Arnold, Mary (Bass) Webb, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John & Priscilla plus William, all of the Mayflower. The Alden silver books get as far as the birth & marriage of David's parents. The book with this image goes into some detail about David's career as a homeopathic physician and I think if you look through medical journals and newspaper accounts of the time you could get more biographical data and possibly another photograph or two. Image and info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), pp. 136-9.

Thayer, Eli
Here is another example of a genealogical red herring. Eli Thayer's father turned out to have been Cushman Thayer. Certainly there would be an Allerton lurking in his genes, right? Wrong. Cushman was named for an older child, by a different mother who had died young. When his father Benjamin Thayer married 2nd wife Ruth Alden (misleadingly referred to as "Mrs. Ruth Alden" in the vital records) she must have agreed to name their first boy "Cushman" again, even though the name honored the previous wife's mother's family. Just to make things more fun, the birth of that first wife is in the Allerton silver book as Gen 6, but it did not mention a married name anywhere. It did help that the Allerton book noted the family had moved from Middleboro to Bellingham, MA, which increased the odds that the daughter (Sarah) could have met a man from Mendon. So, this Cushman was no Cushman at all. (Furthermore, he was immortalized as "Chusman" in the VRs.) Cushman Thayer's birth is in the Alden silver book Part 3. A U.S. Congressman from Massachusetts b. 1819 in Mendon, Eli's line runs: Cushman Thayer, Ruth (Alden) Thayer, Noah Alden, John, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. The Alden book Part 1 describes great-grandfather Rev. Noah Alden as "rather below the middle stature, and in early life spare, but in his later years he became corpulent." Library of Congress photo, LC-DIG-ppmsca-26569.
Thompson, Albert Cranston
Albert Cranston Thompson (b. 1843 Brockton), who went by A. Cranston Thompson, had the blood of 7 Pilgrim ancestors, so a family resemblance to anyone on this web site is unlikely. From his grandmother, Salvina Wood, daughter of Salvina Soule and Capt. Timothy Wood, he was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins and a Generation 9 Soule & Standish descendant. He was a Generation 8 Cooke twice. His Cooke (Gen 8), Hopkins (Gen 9), and Priest (Gen 10) lineage plus one Soule line were via both his paternal great-grandparents, Adam Tomson (senior) and Molly Tomson, only distantly related. Both were Generation 5 Cooke descendants and appear in the Cooke Silver Book, with son Adam (A. Cranston.'s grandfather.) A. Cranston's mother was a Warren from Vermont, and research there may turn up additional Mayflower ancestry. His Alden-Mullins line runs: Albert Thompson, Salvina (Wood) Thompson, Salvina (Soule) Wood, Benjamin Soule, Benjamin, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 169, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
THOMPSON, BERTHA AVERY (See Jabez Thompson)
THOMPSON, ELROY SHERMAN
Elroy is a Generation 10/11 Alden-Mullins on his father's side. The best silver book for this line is the Cooke book. It will get you as far as Elroy's great grandfather, Zebadiah Thompson, the third of that name. (The spellings of both names are variable.) Zebadiah's grandfather, the first of that name (1728-77), married Zerviah Standish (1728-69.) Her father Moses Standish was an Alden as the son of Ebenezer Standish, the son of Gen 2 Sarah (Alden) Standish. The Alden book will get you only as far as Zebediah #1. The Silver Book with Sarah Alden's descendants is due out from the GSMD in Fall 2016, so that will add a Zebadiah. Elroy is a Soule on his mother's side (unknown generation), Gen 9 Cooke and Gen 10 Hopkins, Soule, and Standish. Elroy's Alden-Mullins line runs: John T. Thompson, John T. Z. Thomson, Zebadiah, Zebadiah Tomson, Zerviah (Standish) Tomson, Moses Standish, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. For more details, see his Cooke writeup. Image from Brockton Board of Trade, Brockton, a City of Enterprise (Brockton: Hollinger, 1911), p. 20. Digitized by the Library of Congress.

THOMPSON - JABEZ, FRED PARKER & BERTHA AVERY - AND WOOD, ABBIE P.
These were cropped from a family photo on Digital Commonwealth, contributed by a descendant of Bertha, here (1902) a 3-year-old on her mother Abbie's lap, while Fred was a 20-year-old standing next to his father Asaph, age 49. Fred and Bertha had several other siblings in the picture but the caption writer did not name everyone in this group of 25 so the only people positively identified were the 47-year-old mother & toddler, the father, & oldest son. Abbie was identified by cross-checking with another photo the same contributor supplied, identifying only a handful of women in a group BUT the same photo had also been contributed by someone who identified everyone. Caution: The identity of Fred and Asaph depends on me correctly picking out a man about the same age as his wife and standing next to a male of about 20. The Thompson children have 9 pilgrim ancestors, with duplicates in Alden-Mullins, Standish, and Soule because both parents are descendants of those pilgrims. They are also Priest, Eaton, Rogers, Cooke, and Hopkins descendants through their father. (See the appropriate sections for those lines.) Bertha & Fred's first Alden-Mullins line begins with their Gen. 9/10 father: Jabez Thompson, Eliza R. (Soule) Thompson, Jabez Soule, Jabez, Zachariah, Zachariah, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (+ William Mullins) of the Mayflower. The second begins with their Gen 8/9 mother: Abbie P. (Wood) Thompson, Asaph S. Wood, Cynthia (Soule) Wood, Asaph Soule, Ebenezer, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John-Priscilla-William again. Image "Gathering at grandmother Wood's home" on Digital Commonwealth, courtesy the Joseph P. Healey Library, University of Massachusetts, Boston. Abbie's image is actually from one of the other photos in sharper focus and with the individuals named: "Ladies with Parasols, Halifax, Massachusetts" taken in 1909.

TILSON, HUGH COLE, WILLIAM H., AND THOMAS J.
These three brothers were born in Washington Co, VA and settled in TX. There are not a lot of migration paths from Plymouth, MA to Texas. Shown left to right, the oldest brother Hugh (b. 1834), William (b. 1837), and Thomas (b. 1847) settled in different parts of Texas and were apparently still living when their distant cousin Mercer Tilson (below) wrote his book. The birth of Alden-Mullins Gen. 6 William Tilson in MA is in the silver book and he reportedly moved from Plymouth Co to "western VA" in the 1760s. Fortunately for Texans trying to prove their Mayflower heritage, quite a few women have claimed membership in the DAR as descendants of William "Tillson" - including some descendants of son Thomas, and you are now able to buy the supporting documents for $10 online at the DAR site. The brothers's Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line should run: David Tilson, Thomas, William, Jennet/Janet (Murdock) Tilson, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock/Murdoch, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (and William Mullins) of the Mayflower. Like Mercer, they are also Warrens and Brewsters. See those sections for the lineage. Image and info from Mercer V. Tilson, The Tilson Genealogy, from Edmund Tilson at Plymouth, N. E., 1638-1911, with Brief Sketches of the Family in England Back to 1066 (Plymouth: Memorial Press, 1911), pp. 147-8, 173, 196-9, digitized by the New York Public Library.

TILSON, MERCER V.
Mercer, on the left, author of the book from which these images were taken, and Myron (right) are nephews of Ruth A. Bosworth, above, and Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullinses. Their line runs: Elisha W. Tilson, Joseph, John, Jennet/Janet (Murdock) Tilson, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock/Murdoch, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus father William Mullins.) Mercer reminisces about his childhood in this book. His mother is worth a look as a Mayflower descendant also, and if you find a line, there is a picture of her in the book as well. He has her blue eyes. Myron was a mariner and then joined the U.S. Navy during the Civil War. His treatment as a POW was reportedly what led to his untimely death of heart disease in 1870. At that time Myron was living in Galveston.See the Warren and Brewster sections for their descent from those pilgrims. Image and info from Mercer V.

TILSON, MYRON W. (See Mercer V. Tilson, above.)
Tinkham, H[osea] Elbridge
Ensign H. Elbridge Tinkham, USN (1833-1894), was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant, Gen. 9 Priest, Soule, Standish, and Brown, and Generation 8 from Francis Eaton. He was born in Middleboro and this photo likely dates from his Civil War service (1861-67). He was a shoemaker. Pilgrim Peter Brown's daughter married the first Tinkham in the area, Ephraim of Plymouth County, so look for anyone of that surname in the Brown Silver Book. Elbridge's other Pilgrim ancestry is via Seth 5 Tinkham's marriage to Eunice 5 Soule, daughter of Zachariah and Mary (Eaton) Soule. Elbridge's Alden-Mullins line runs: Harvey Tinkham, Hazael, Eunice (Soule) Tinkham, Zachariah Soule, Sarah (Standish) Soule, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Image from A History of the Town of Freetown, Massachusetts, with an Account of the Old Home Festival, July 30th 1902 (Fall River: Franklin, 1902), p. 110, digitized by the Library of Congress.
TOBEY, EDWARD SILAS
A Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant on his mother's side, Edward (1813-1891) was also a Generation 7 descendant of Dr. Samuel Fuller. His Alden-Mullins line runs: Betsey (Fuller) Tobey, Lucy (Loring) Fuller, Anna (Alden) Loring, John Alden, Jonathan, John and Priscilla of the Mayflower. The birth of Betsey in Kingston, MA 1789 and marriage to Silas Tobey are noted in both Silver Books. Cambridge, MA recorded Edward's birth, possibly because he and his wife, Hannah Brown Sprague, resided there. Their birth records give no parents. (Hannah was supposedly an Alden, Mullins, and Standish descendant, so a photo of her would be welcome.) Edward's branch of the Tobey family was from Berkley, in Bristol County, and you really have to hunt for Berkley records. His Brookline, MA death record confirms the details found in this book (i.e. b. Kingston, MA to Silas Tobey of Berkley and Betsey Fuller of Kingston) and given the amazing list of business and civic positions he held and apparently discharged with honor, his origins were hardly hidden or unknown. Image and info from Rufus Babcock Tobey, Tobey (Tobie, Toby) Genealogy: Thomas, of Sandwich, and James, of Kittery, and Their Descendants (Boston: Pope, 1905), pp. 132-33, 182-83, digitized by the New York Public Library.

TOLMAN, MARCUS ALDEN
The Rev. Tolman was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins via his mother, the line being Sarah Alden, Nathan, Nathan, Ebenezer, Isaac, Joseph, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. The book from which this image was taken gave his profession (clergyman) and residence (PA) and he did turn up as advertised in the 1870 & 1880 censuses, and those gave his birthplace as MA, approximately 1833. The Alden Kindred website listed him in their 8-generation genealogy, confirming that he was the son of James Penniman Tolman. Ironically, James died of "religious insanity - millenialism" when Marcus was a boy. It is worth checking the Tolman line for additional Mayflower ancestors. (See Samuel Tolman, below.) There is more than one Thomas Tolman (James's father) and some of them married more than once and some emigrated so be sure you get the right one.

The Rev. Tolman was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins via his mother, the line being Sarah Alden, Nathan, Nathan, Ebenezer, Isaac, Joseph, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. The book from which this image was taken gave his profession (clergyman) and residence (PA) and he did turn up as advertised in the 1870 & 1880 censuses, and those gave his birthplace as MA, approximately 1833. The Alden Kindred website listed him in their 8-generation genealogy, confirming that he was the son of James Penniman Tolman. Ironically, James died of "religious insanity - millenialism" when Marcus was a boy. It is worth checking the Tolman line for additional Mayflower ancestors. (See Samuel Tolman, below.) There is more than one Thomas Tolman (James's father) and some of them married more than once and some emigrated so be sure you get the right one.

TOLMAN, SAMUEL
A Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins descendant, Samuel the Scituate, MA shipbuilder (1785-1873) would be related to Marcus Alden Tolman, above, but he is more closely related to the families described in the book from which this image was taken (Briggs, Cushing, Otis, Copeland, Thomas, Eells, Barstow, and Ford.) Some of his cousins and in-laws married into the Doty, Warren, and Chilton families. Samuel's line runs as follows: Rebecca (Copeland) Tolman, Joseph Copeland, Mary (Bass) Copeland, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Samuel is himself listed in the Alden Silver Book, vol. 4. Image from L. Vernon Briggs, History of Shipbuilding on North River, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with Genealogies of the Shipbuilders, and Accounts of the Industries Upon its Tributaries, 1640 to 1872 (Boston: Coburn, 1889), p. 233, digitized by the Library of Congress.

TRACY, STEPHEN ALDEN
The Alden Silver Book gets as far as the birth of Stephen's maternal grandparents, the Daniel Alden b 1753 in Stafford CT and the Sarah Alden b. 1761 in the same town. Daniel and Sarah are also on the DAR's GRS database plus you can find them with the appropriate parents in the CT & NH vital records on the NEHGS site. Daniel's grandfather (Daniel) and Sarah's grandfather (Ezra) were first cousins, making Stephen Tracy a double Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant. Daniel & Sarah's daughter Sarah was the 3rd wife of Stephen Tracy of Cornish, NH. That 1830 marriage and the birth of son Stephen A. Tracy in 1833 is not on the NEHGS but there may be paper records in a NH archive. Also, the writeup about Stephen's parents can be misleading because Vol. 2 is all family lineages and there is a writeup about a different Daniel Alden. The Tracy writeup, however, says that Sarah's father was Daniel "of Lebanon." Her birth family is not in either volume of this book on Cornish. Here are Stephen's 2 Alden lines: Sarah (Alden) Tracy, Sarah (Alden) Alden, Ezra Alden, Eleazer, Joseph, Joseph, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins and Sarah (Alden) Tracy, Daniel Alden, Daniel, Daniel, Joseph, Joseph, John & Priscilla. Image and info from Wm. H. Child, History of the Town of Cornish, New Hampshire, with Genealogical Record 1763-1910, vol. 2 (Concord, NH: Rumford, ca 1911), p. 376, digitized by the University of New Hampshire Libraries.

VINTON, JOHN ADAMS
Proud of his blood relationship to the presidential family, John Adams Vinton wrote the book from which this image was taken. He was a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins. The marriage of his grandparents, line-carrier Anne Adams and Josiah Vinton of Braintree is in the Alden Silver Book, part 4. The marriage of the author's parents and records of his 1803 baptism at the Old South Church in Boston, naming both of them, are on the NEHGS site. "Josiah, Jr." was baptized the same year, "an adult." A faded Boston death ledger from 1857 shows Josiah the merchant, age 80, to have been the son of Josiah and "Anna" of Braintree. Thus John Adams Vinton's line runs: Josiah Vinton, Jr., Anne (Adams) Vinton, Boylston Adams, Ebenezer Adams, Hannah (Bass) Adams, Ruth (Alden) Bass, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. Image and info from John Adams Vinton, The Vinton Memorial, Comprising Genealogy of the Descendants of John Vinton of Lynn, 1648 (Boston: Whipple, 1858), pp. 82, 149-50, 251, and frontispiece, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

WADSWORTH, ANSEL
Captain of Co. C in the 26th ME Regt fighting for the Union cause during the Civil War, Ansel gathered and contributed much of the data (written by the soldiers themselves) in the book with this photo. Maine can be tough for genealogists and the chatty details the men, now in their 60s, provided about themselves helps triangulate and be sure you have the right family. Ansel, of Belfast, ME was an Alden-Mullins, Brewster, Bradford, Warren, Chilton, and Soule with a possible Cooke-Hopkins line. See the other sections for those lineages. His Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line begins with his mother, as follows: Mary (Drinkwater) Wadsworth, Josiah Drinkwater, Elizabeth (Bradford) Drinkwater, Ichabod Bradford, Sarah (Bartlett) Bradford, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins + father William, all 3 of the Mayflower. The birth of Ansel's grandfather Josiah, who died in 1858, is in the Bradford silver book so Ansel likely knew he was a Mayflower descendant. Familysearch.org now has several Maine cemetery record collections and these are so-so in terms of accuracy and completeness. The age given on Josiah's record doesn't match his birth date exactly but land records and censuses show it was the same Josiah Drinkwater. Image & info from Elden B. Maddocks, History of the Twenty-Sixth Maine Regiment (Bangor: Glass, 1899), pp. 245-6, digitized by the Emory University Libraries. Ansel and his parents are recorded on billiongraves.com.

WADSWORTH, LUCIA
A fourth cousin of fellow Mainer Ansel Wadsworth, immediately above, she was the aunt of Anne Longfellow and her siblings (above) and like them a double Alden-Mullins, plus a Samson, Brewster, Howland-Tilley, and Warren descendant. Lucia (1783-1864) lived in Portland, Maine her whole life, much of it (or maybe all) at the Wadsworth-Longfellow House. She is in the Samson silver book, which missed several of the Longfellow sibs and left the "e" off of Anne's name. Lucia's first Gen 7/8 line runs: Peleg Wadsworth, Lusanna (Samson) Wadsworth, Priscilla (Bartlett) Samson, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins + William Mullins, all 3 of the Mayflower. Her second line is also through her father, as follows: Peleg Wadsworth, Peleg, Mercy (Wiswall) Wadsworth, Priscilla (Pabodie) Wiswall, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John-Priscilla-William again. This photo is the Maine Historical Society's Henry Wadsworth Longfellow website, under His Family - Anne Longfellow Pierce. I saw no source or information about her age. Do not be surprised if the dark hair turns out to be a wig.

WALBRIDGE, CYRUS PACKARD and MERRELL PACKARD
This Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant became mayor of St. Louis, MO 1893-1897 and there are better photos of him online, including this one on findagrave. Cyrus was born in Madrid, NY in 1849 and the photos were likely taken during his administration, around age 45. The findagrave photo is the same as that on on a now-defunct St. Louis Public Library web site about past mayors. Gen 10/11 son Merrell Packard Walbridge (b. 1884) would be about age 10. He lived to marry but his gravestone photo (in Maine) gives no year of death for him or his wife. Mrs. Walbridge (Lucy Merrell) is not known to have any Mayflower ancestry. Here is the presumed line, beginning with Cyrus's mother: Althea Maria (Packard) Walbridge, Abisha Packard, Abisha, Eleazer, Mercy (Alden) Packard, Isaac Alden, Joseph, John and Priscilla. I say "presumed" because Part 3 of the Alden silver books, is not convinced Eleazer wound up in VT, and thinks it could be son Eliezer b. 1756 who went there -- or to Canada. Findagrave says otherwise, but to claim descent you will have to work out the details. The line might actually be Alethea, Abisha, Eliezer, Eleazer, etc. One clue would be finding out who Cyrus was. My money is on a brother of Alethea or the younger Abisha; someone who did not live long. Check out the pension record of Abisha on fold3.com for starters Also, the younger Abisha's mother was an Esther Fuller; check for a Fuller line.

WARREN, WINSLOW
Lawyer Winslow Warren (b 1838, Plymouth) had 9 multiple Mayflower lines via both parents: Alden-Mullins, Brewster, Doty (twice), Howland-Tilley, Warren (6 times), White, and Winslow (twice). (See the other sections for those lines.) His Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs: Margaret (Bartlett) Warren, Zacheus Bartlett, Zacheus, Elizabeth (Bartlett) Bartlett, Hannah (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden, Priscilla Mullins and her father William. A combination of the relevant silver books will get you to this Winslow Warren's grandparents, then vital records on the NEHGS get you the rest of the way.

WATERMAN - ARTHUR BARTLETT & CHESTER WALDO
These brothers are presented with my usual caution that proper ID depends on the caption writer being correct. These were taken from a class photo, circa 1910, from the same donor who supplied the Jabez Thompson family photo. There is one more child than he gave names for and one boy's name came with a girl's face. However, he started left to right, the far left being Chester Waterman & 2 boys over was a similar looking face and the name Arthur Waterman. Vital records and the 1910 census showed (left to right) Arthur (b 1895) and Chester (b 1897) to be brothers. They turned out to be Alden-Mullinses, Samsons, Allertons, Soules, Hopkinses, Cookes, Bradfords, Warrens, and Standishes, in some case more than once, and both paternal grandparents were Mayflower descendants. Here is their Gen 11/12 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with their father: Bradford B[artlett] Waterman, Jonathan B., Clara (Bourne) Waterman, Dulcina (Woods) Bourne, Rebecca (Tomson) Woods, Zerviah (Standish) Tomson, Moses Standish, Ebenezer, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden, Priscilla Mullins, & her father William, all passengers of the Mayflower. See the Samson writeup for extra information on the family & some genealogical challenges. See the other pilgrim sections here for those lines.

WATKINS, WILLIAM
The Alden Silver Book gets as far as Gen 6, Abigail Seabury, b. 1749 in Little Compton, RI. She married English immigrant William Watkins and the William in this picture, their grandson, was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins. His line runs: Thomas Watkins, Abigail (Seabury) Watkins, Samuel Seabury, Joseph, Martha (Pabodie) Seabury, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins.

WEAVER, FRANCES A.
There is no reference in the book with this image to any children for Frances A. (Weaver) Benedict (b ca 1825 CT or VT) of Brooklyn, NY & Burlington, VT. However, her line-carrier mother was reportedly one of 14 children, 10 of whom lived to marry & had as many as 5 children each. See pp 48-51 for names, spouses, occupations, places of residence (CT, VT, WI, MT, WI, & Montreal), grandchildren & other data. Some data and presumably the photo (at age 20) was supplied by Frances. The Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line of Frances, her siblings, and her first cousins (substitute their mother or father for her mother Artemisia) runs as follows: Artemisia (Munson) Weaver, Amy (Brownell) Munson, Ichabod Brownell, Alice (Southworth) Brownell, Edward Southworth, Rebecca (Pabodie) Southworth, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla/William Mullins of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book gets to the birth of Ichabod and someone has proven the line beyond that to the satisfaction of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), which will let you purchase the supporting documents for $10 on their GRS (Genealogical Research System) database. Image & info from Myron Andrews Munson, The Portsmouth Race of Munsons, comprising Richard Monson...& His Descendants... (New Haven, CT: MA Munson, 1910), pp. 33-34, 48-49, 58-59, digitized by BYU-Idaho. A sharper image scanned from a hard copy would be appreciated.

Weeks, Elizabeth Keith
Elizabeth (Weeks) Burnham (1810-1885) was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant via her father's (Rev. Holland Weeks, Jr.) mother, Hannah Mosely. The marriage of Hannah's parents, Deacon Nathaniel Mosely and Sarah Capen appears in the Alden Silver Book. The relationship continues up Sarah's line, to Ruth Thayer. The Weekses lived in Connecticut, where Elizabeth was born, but she died in Chicago. Her eldest son, Edwin Ruthven Burnham married a woman in Quincy, IL in 1871, so descendants of Elizabeth might try the 1880 FC-IL. Her father and son-in-law Rev. John Goddard were both Swedenborgian ministers, and perhaps a Swedenborg archive would have further record of this family. Image and info from Robert D. Weeks, Genealogy of the Family of George Weekes of Dorchester, Mass., 1635-1650 (Newark, NJ: L. J. Hardham, 1885), p. 159. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.
WELLMAN, ARTHUR HOLBROOK
Publisher of a Wellman family genealogy written by his father Joshua Wyman Wellman, Arthur Holbrook Wellman (b 1855) was a Gen 11/12 Alden-Mullins plus a Rogers, Brewster, and triple Bradford descendant. (See those sections for his lineages.) His Alden-Mullins line is maternal and runs: Ellen Maria (Holbrook) Wellman, Prudence (Durfee) Holbrook, Wealthy (Hathaway) Durfee, Gilbert Hathaway, Wealthy (Gilbert) Hathaway, Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, Elizabeth (Pabodie) Rogers, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (with William) of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book gets to the birth of Wealthy Gilbert, the Bradford silver book gets as far as the birth of her son Gilbert Hathaway. From there you must turn to H. G. Thomas's Vital Records of the Town of Freetown, Massachusetts 1686 through 1890 (Westminster, MD: Heritage, 2010.) Worth every penny if you have ancestors from Bristol Co and the environs.

WHITE, CHARLES ATWOOD
A nephew of Edward Standish Sherman and grandson of Susannah Staples, both above, Charles was a Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins and also a Standish descendant. See his uncle and grandmother's write-ups for the details and the Standish section for that line. He did a lot of genealogical writing on the Sherman family and on the Whites. He married someone with the surname Eaton, so if you are a descendant her line is also worth checking. Charles was born in CT in 1833, according to the book with this photo, and died there in 1909. (The photo was reportedly taken in 1902, so age 69.) His wife, Frances Spencer Eaton, was born at Fort Gratiot, MI 1836 and d CT 1911. Her father was in the Army and I suspect records are a) all over but b) possibly on fold3.com. Charles' image and info from Thomas Townsend Sherman, Sherman Genealogy (etc) (NY: Tobias A.

He married someone with the surname Eaton, so if you are a descendant her line is also worth checking. Charles was born in CT in 1833, according to the book with this photo, and died there in 1909. (The photo was reportedly taken in 1902, so age 69.) His wife, Frances Spencer Eaton, was born at Fort Gratiot, MI 1836 and d CT 1911. Her father was in the Army and I suspect records are a) all over but b) possibly on fold3.com. Charles' image and info from Thomas Townsend Sherman, Sherman Genealogy (etc) (NY: Tobias A. Wright, 1920), 232, 246, 248, 294-5, 350, 368, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
WHITE, CLARENCE E.
Clarence was a Gen. 9/10 on his paternal grandmother's side. She was originally Abigail Leonard Alden, then married Benjamin White. Abigail's parents, per the Middleborough, MA vital records on the NEHGS database were Rufus Alden and Sarah Shaw, and Rufus was the son of David Alden, Jr. and his birth is in the Alden silver book, Parts 1 & 3. Rufus was named for a brother of David, Jr., who lived long enough to marry but died before having any children. Vol. 3 points out that Rufus's mother, Rhoda Leach, was a Gen. 7 Cooke descendant. See Clarence's Cooke writeup for that lineage. Clarence's Alden-Mullins line runs: Silas White, Abigail Leonard (Alden) White, Rufus Alden, David, Jr. David, John, Joseph, John and Priscilla of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Thomas White, et al., Ancestral Chronological Record of the William White Family From 1607-8 to 1895 (Concord: Republican Press Association, 1895), p. 147, digitized by BYU Library. A note about this book: Do not get too excited by what you read about the Whites as William White descendants. The majority of the lineage info in this book, particularly the center section about Thomas White, is not accepted by the current edition of the William White Silver Book (2006.)

WHITMAN, FLORA E.
Flora, born in 1889, was the daughter of Ellis, below, far right. She was a Samson on her mother's side (see that section for the lineage) and an Alden-Mullins & Cooke on her father's side. See her Gen 10/11 Alden lineage in her father & brothers' writeup. The line runs through their mother, Phebe (Foster) Whitman. Image & info from Alfred Cole & Charles F. Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, from the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), pp. 324, 587, 620, 709, 711-2, 715. (Author Uncle Charles Whitman was the Clerk of the county court, so had access to good local records.) Digitized by the New York Public Library.

WHITMAN - HENRY WILSON, ALDEN CHASE, CHARLES FOSTER, ELLIS
The images of left to right, Henry (b 1843), Alden (b 1846), Charles (b 1848), and Ellis (b 1850) were arranged artistically around a larger image of their non-Mayflower father, so they may look a bit crooked. Children of Charles and Ellis will be added to this page. If you are researching people from Buckfield, be aware that the Packards who settled that town seem to have avoided marrying Mayflower descendants, whereas other Packards in the same county did not. So don't get your hopes up if you find a Packard from Buckfield, ME (like the several Packards in the Whitmans' line.) Here is the brothers' Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins line, beginning with their mother: Phebe (Foster) Whitman, Martha (Lothrop) Foster, Joseph Lothrop, Joseph, Hannah (Alden) Lathrop/Lothrop, Joseph Alden, Joseph, John etc. of the Mayflower. The Alden silver book did not pick up on this family moving to ME. This is a Cooke line also; see that section for the Whitmans' lineage. Image & info from Alfred Cole & Charles F.

WHITMAN - VICTOR MELNOTTE, VERNE MORTIER, VICTOR MERTON
Victor Melnotte (1869-1876), Verne (b 1871), and Victor Merton (b 1877) were sons of Charles F. Whitman, above (See Whitman, Henry Wilson). Charles moved to Norway, Maine and having contributed to the history of Buckfield from which this info and photos were taken, proceeded to do a very detailed history of Norway, with lots and lots of photos. That was published in 1923 so will be mined for photos later. I did use it to verify that he had not married a Mayflower descendant, as his brother Ellis had done. Therefore, his 3 boys are all Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins. See the above section for the exact line. Images & info from Cole & Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, ... (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), pp.709, 712, digitized by the New York Public Library.

Whitman, William Elbridge
William, a shoe manufacturer and occasional farmer, spent his entire life (1834-1902) in the Bridgewater area. A Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins, he was the son of Deacon Nathan Whitman, Jr. and Semanthe Keith, who married there in 1825. His paternal grandparents were Nathan Whitman and Mercy Byram. That Nathan is likely to be the Alden Silver Book, Part 3, Generation 6/7 descendant born in 1766 in Bridgewater to Nathan Whitman (whose mother was Jemima Alden) and Betty Allen. Betty, the sister of Nathan's stepmother's first husband, was a Generation 5 Eaton descendant via her mother, Rebecca (Eaton) Rickard. Thus William E. Whitman was also a Generation 8 descendant of pilgrim Francis Eaton. The Eaton Silver Book traces the line as far as Generation 5. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 222, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
WHITTLESEY, GEORGE DICKINSON
George was a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant. Part 2 of the Alden silver books has a lineage that intersects with his Whittleseys at his grandfather John, whose birth and death are noted in Part 2. The book from which this photo comes describes the Whittlesey line, which I did not verify and which varies in at least two points from the Alden books (including the addition of an extra Hezekiah.) However, it is reasonable that George knew the names of his father and mother and his father's parents and his family lived in the same Connecticut town for five generations. (George and his wife left no children, so the line died in 1895.) The Alden-Mullins link to George should be: his father John Elihu Whittlesey, then John, then Hezekiah + Lydia (Lay) Waterous (as his second wife), then Mary (Grinnell) Lay, Lydia (Pabodie) Grinnell, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Image & some info from Genealogical & Biographical Record of New London (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1905), p. 252, digitized by BYU.

WINSLOW, GEORGE HENRY
The citation quoted in Digital Commonwealth says that he was a direct descendant of pilgrim Edward Winslow, but alas, that is not true. He is a direct descendant of one of Edward's brother Kenelm, though, as follows (beginning with his father): George E. Winslow, George R., Ezra, Hezekiah, Richard, Job, Kenelm. George H. (1863-1946) of Ware, MA was a Cooke, Alden-Mullins, Warren, and Soule descendant, though to make up for not being a descendant of Edward. The mistake might have been an honest one, as his Massachusetts ancestors had the same political views as Edward's descendants during the American Revolution but did not leave for Canada. However, the "R." in "George R." is apparently for "Rex" (king), so named by his Loyalist father. George's Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins line runs: George E. Winslow, George R., Rosamond (Spooner) Winslow, Rebecca (Paddock) Spooner, Alice (Alden) Paddock, David Alden, John & Priscilla of the Mayflower. The silver book for descendants of David Alden, youngest child of John & Priscilla came out in May 2020 and unfortunately gave only 2 children for George Rex Winslow, son of Rosamond Spooner, a Daniel & a Lucy. That means you will have to prove the existence of George's father George E. to apply to the Mayflower Society. Be not afraid! They are always happy to hear about new lines. See George's other writeups in the Cooke, Warren, and Soule sections for those lineages.

WINSOR, ANNIE MAY
This picture of Annie May Winsor (1856-1898), a double Alden-Mullins & Soule and a Standish, Samson & Warren, comes to us courtesy of the Massachusetts Memories Roadshow, which archives donated images at the U of Mass Boston's JP Healey Library, which in turn allows Digital Commonwealth to share them for educational purposes (such as this website.) Annie caught my eye because she married a Soule - Eugene T. Soule of Duxbury, MA - as his first wife in 1881. This was probably a wedding photo, age about 25. Annie's Mayflower lines all begin with her mother (whose marriage to her father Lorenzo D. Winsor is in the Samson silver book.) Her first Alden-Mullins line, Gen 9/10, runs: Abigail S. (Chandler) Winsor, James Chandler, Rhoda (Blackmore/Blackmer) Chandler, Rebecca (Samson) Blackmore/Blackmer, Abraham Samson, Lora (Standish) Samson, Sarah (Alden) Standish, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, passenger and daughter of passenger William. (Note: Abraham Samson was not a descendant of pilgrim Henry, but his wife Penelope was.) The second, also Gen 9/10, runs: Abigail S. (Chandler) Winsor, Abigail (Peterson) Chandler, Reuben Peterson, Rebecca (Simmons) Peterson, Joseph Simmons, Mercy (Pabodie) Simmons, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John/Priscilla/William again. See the Samson, Soule, Warren, and Standish sections for those lines. (The Samson writeup includes a Chandler "issue" and a possible Mystery Sister.)

WINTON, THEODORA E.
Like the Tilsons, above, Theodora is an Alden-Mullins, Brewster and Warren descendant if the book from which this image was taken is accurate. Her Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins line should run: Emily A. (Tilson) Winton, Stephen Tilson, Cephas, Stephen Tilson, Jennet/Janet (Murdock) Tilson, Ruth (Bartlett) Murdock/Murdoch, Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett, Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, John Alden & Priscilla Mullins (plus her father William Mullins) of the Mayflower. See her Brewster writeup for the challenges to proving this line and see the Warren section for that lineage. Image and info from Mercer V. Tilson, The Tilson Genealogy, from Edmund Tilson at Plymouth, N. E., 1638-1911, with Brief Sketches of the Family in England Back to 1066 (Plymouth: Memorial Press, 1911), pp. 285-88, digitized by the New York Public Library.
