Lineage to John Alden

John Alden (1599-1687) was the 8th great-grandfather of Virgil Wadsworth Wilkey (1906-1985). Virgil was Tim's maternal grandfather. Click here to see the lineage. John Alden came over on the Mayflower in 1620 and married Priscilla Mullins, another Mayflower passenger, after they reached America. John and Priscilla Mullins have the most descendants of any of the Mayflower passengers. Their gravestones were erected long after their deaths at the approximate spots where they were supposed to have been buried. Click here to visit the homepage of the Alden Kindred of America for more information on the lineage of John Alden. Click here to visit the homepage for the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Another good site is Caleb Johnson's MayflowerHistory.com. Beware of genealogical fraud! There is a list of common Mayflower genealogical hoaxes at False and Faked Mayflower Genealogy. A good book to read on John Alden is:

Edited by L. M. Kellogg and others. Mayflower families through five generations: descendants of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth, Mass., December 1620. (Vol. 16 Part 1 John Alden). Plymouth, MA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1999.

Abigail Soule was the 3rd great-granddaughter of John Alden. She married Elijah Curtis. There seemed to be two gravestones for Elijah Curtis, so I wonder if the second one was for his wife, but the gravestones are extremely hard to read.
