• Complier's Note: 2007; There is much confusion about the number and order of John Alden's children. I have chosen to use the number and order from the Great Migration Begins (1995). Some list a Zachariah as a child, but this has been disproved.

Notes:

Sources:The parish registers for Dorking are defective from 1572 to 1578; however, John and Joan appear to be the only Mullins family having children during that time. Based on this, we will assume that William, who married Alice, was John and Joan's son.
