• Name	John Alden
  Relationship	with Robert Alan Roy
  Birth	Abt 1599	England   [1, 2]
  Immigration	1620 (Age 21)  [2]
  He came to New England on board the Mayflower. When the Mayflower stopped at Southampton, England for supplies, John Alden was brought on board as a cooper. Once in New England, he decided to stay.
  Moved to	1632 (Age 33)	Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts   [2]
  	Home of John and Priscilla Alden
  Offices Held	1641 (Age 42)	Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts   [2]
  He was elected the Representative to the Plymouth Colony General Court. He served again in 1642, 1644, 1646, and 1649.

  John Alden served twice as acting Governor of Plymouth Colony in the absence of the Governor.
  Death	12 Sep 1686	Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts   [1, 2]
  Complier's Note	2007  [2]
  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.
