Ancestral Summary:
Extensive research has been done into the ancestry of John Alden, but nothing has conclusively been found. There are two major theories that have been presented over the years:
Charles Edward Banks, in his book The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers, 1929, puts forward a theory that John is the son of George Alden and Jane (---) and grandson of Richard and Avys Alden of Southampton, County Hampshire, England. Since Bradford says John Alden was hired in Southampton, this would be a logical place to start looking for Aldens. No other supporting evidence has been found, and it has been noted by many researchers that the names George, Richard, and Avys do not occur anywhere in John Alden's family. Naming children after parents and grandparents was an extremely common practice in the seventeenth century, and the absence of such a name is nearly enough evidence to disprove this theory.
The currently popular theory is that John Alden came from Harwich, County Essex, England. There was a sea-faring Alden family living there, who were related by marriage to Christopher Jones, captain of the Mayflower. It has been suggested John Alden may be the son of John Alden and Elizabeth Daye, but this is not fully proven either.
Two commemorative broadsides (elegy poems) survive from John Alden's 1687 death. The first broadside is by an unknown author, and the second broadside was written by John Cotton.
Biographical Summary:
William Bradford wrote, in his history Of Plymouth Plantation: "John Alden was hired for a cooper [barrel maker] at Southampton where the ship [Mayflower] victualed, and being a hopeful young man was much desired but left to his own liking to go or stay when he came here; but he stayed and married here." and later wrote "John Alden married Priscilla, Mr. Mullin's daughter, and had issue by her as is before related."
John Alden was an assistant for the Plymouth colony for many years, and was deputy governor for two years. His marriage to Priscilla Mullins was the subject of the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, "The Courtship of Myles Standish", which although a classic has little factual basis. John and Priscilla were among the founders of the town of Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
In 1634, John Alden was on the Kennebec River assisting in the forceful removal of John Hocking who was illegally fishing and trading on land that had been granted to the Pilgrims. Hockings refused to leave, and when the party arrived at his ship by canoe to board and remove him, he shot and killed Moses Talbot. In return, Hockings was shot and killed. The Massachusetts Bay Colony took matters into its own hands, and arrested John Alden (even though he was not the one who fired the shot). Myles Standish was sent by Governor Bradford to obtain Alden's release, which he successfully did.
In his later years, John Alden was on many juries, including even a witch trial--though in Plymouth's case, the jury found the accuser guilty of libel and the alleged witch was allowed to go free. Plymouth Colony only had two witch trials during its history, and in both cases the accuser was found guilty and punished.
John and Priscilla Alden probably have the largest number of descendants of any Mayflower passenger, but with stiff competition from Richard Warren and John Howland. They are ancestors to Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Vice President Dan Quayle.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:
Zachariah Alden and Henry Alden have both been incorrectly identified as sons of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins in various publications. For information on the genealogy of Henry Alden, see Mayflower Descendant 43:21-29,133-138; 44:27-30,181-184.

This commemorative broadside was issued for John Alden just a short time after
his death on 12 September 1687. The author is unknown. Another commemorative
broadside for John Alden it thought to have been written by John Cotton. One
interesting thing to note is that this is a rhyming poem--so look carefully at
some of the rhymes to see how their pronunciation differes from yours
(above-remove, God-abode, here-where).

A Small Testimony of that great HONOUR
due to that Honourable Servant of GOD
and his Generation John Alden Esq;
Who changed this life for a better,
Sept. 12th. Anno Domini 1687. Annoq, Ętatis 89.
The memory of the just is blessed.
The just shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
GOD brought a choice Vine to this desert land:
And here did plant it with his own nght hand,
And from the heathen's rage did it defend.
The which its root, from east to west did send.
This precious Saint who now is gone to rest,
And lie in Jesus bosom to be blest,
A branch was of this vine, God did remove,
Protect, defend, and water from above.
A man to God's commands that had respect,
And by His word he did his course direct.
A lover of God's Habitation.
A servant of his Generation.
He was according to the Will of God,
While in this lower world he had abode.
Sincere & faithful unto God was he,
True Vertue's friend, to Vice an enemy.
Holy and humble, full of Faith, & Love
To Saints on earth, to God & Christ above.
He many years did serve this Colony,
Administering Justice impartially.
He in this desert many changes saw,
Yet closely kept unto Jehovah's Law.
He Served God betimes, even from his youth,
And constantly did cleave unto his Truth.
On Pisgah's mount he stood, and Canaan view'd
Which in his heart and life he most pursu'd.
On Tabors mount he saw transfigured
Blest Jesus, which within his bosom bred
That love that made him say, 'Tis good being here,
Its good, yea better than to be else-where.
He lov'd on earth, to be with Christ on high:
He did on wings of Contemplation fly.
To God in heaven he sent up many a dart,
Which issued from a truly broken heart;
Which reach'd the ear of God, and such Return
From heaven brought which made his heart to burn.
With Enoch he with God on earth did walk
With Abram he did with JEHOVAH talk.
With Moses he did on the mount ascend,
And to receieve God's mind himself did bend
That he such meditations had divine,
Which in Saints eyes did cause his face to shine.
With length of days God did him satisfy,
He liv'd so long, that he desir'd to die.
He with old Simeon had of Christ a sight,
Who was prepar'd to be the Gentiles Light:
Which made him willing hence for to depart,
To be with Him that gained had his heart.
He with good lacob in his aged state
Did earnestly for God's Salvation wait.
He with Barzillai, being near his end,
His thoughts above earthly comforts did ascend.
He with St. Paul, his course now finished,
Unclothed, is quietly put to bed.
His Family and Christian friends he blest
Before he did betake himself to rest.
He to Religion was a real friend
And Justice, till death brought him to his end.
A man for God, and for his Countries Good,
In all Relations wherein he stood.
Let Alden's all their Father imitate,
And follow him till they come to death's state:
And he will them most heartily embrace,
When he shall meet them in that blessed place.
And let New-England never want a Race
of such as may be fill'd with Alden's Grace.
Printed in the year, MDCLXXXVII.

Upon the DEATH of that Aged, Pious, Sincere-hearted
CHRISTIAN,
JOHN Alden ESQ:
Late MAGISTRATE of New-Plimouth Colony, who dyed
Sept 12th. 1687.
being about eighty nine years of age.
The staffe of bread, and water eke the stay
From sinning Judah God will take away,
The prudent Counsellour, the Honourable,
Whom Grace and Holiness makes delectable,
The Judge, the Prophet and the ancient Saint,
The deaths of such cause sorrowful complaint,
The Earth and its Inhabitants do fall,
The aged Saint bears up its pillars all.
The hoary head in way of Righteousness
A crown of glory is. Who can express
Th' abundant blessings by Disciples old!
In very deed they're more than can be told.
The guise 'tis of a wanton generation
To wish the aged soon might quit their station,
Tho' truth it be, The Lord our God does frown
When aged Saints dy death do tumble down.
What tho' there be not such Activity,
Yet in their Prayers there's such Fervency
As cloth great mercy for a place obtain,
And gracious presence of the Lord maintain.
Tho Nature's strength in old age cloth decay,
Yet th, inward man renew'd is day by day
The very presence of a Saint in years
Who lifts his soul to God with pray'rs & tears
Is a rich blessing unto any place
Who have that mercy to behold his face:
When sin is ripe and calls for desolation
God will call home old Saints from such a nation
Let sinners then of th, Aged weary be.
God give me grace to mourn most heartily
For death of this dear servant of the Lord,
Whose life God did to us so long afford:
God lent his life to greatest length of dayes;
In which he liv'd to his Redeemer's praise.
In youthful time he made Moses his choice,
His soul obeying great JEHOVAH'S voice,
Freely forsook the world for sake of GOD,
In His House with His Saints to have abode.
He followed GOD into this Wilderness;
Thereby to all the world he did profess,
Affliction with the Saints a better part
And more delightful to his holy heart
Than sinful pleasures, lasting but a season:
Thus said his Faith, so saith not carnal Peason.
He came one of the first into this Land,
And here was kept by God's most gracious hand
Years sixty seven, which time he did behold
To poor New-England mercies Manifold:
All God's great works to this His Israel
From first implanting what to them befel:
of them he made a serious Observation,
And could of them present a large Narration,
His walk was holy, humble, and sincere,
His heart was filled with JEHOVAH's Fear.
He honour'd GOD with much integrity,
God therefore did him truly magnify.
The hearts of Saints intirely did him love,
His Uprightness so highly did approve,
That whilst to choose they had their liberty
Within the Limits of this Colony
Their Civil Leaders, him they ever chose.
His Fait/'fulness made hearts with him to close.
With all the Governours he did Assist;
His Name recorded is within the List
of Plimouth's Pillars to his dying day.
His Name is precious to eternal Ay.
He set his Love on God and knew His Name,
God therefore gives him everlasting Fame.
So good and heavnly was his conversation,
God gave long life, and shew'd him His Salvation.
(His work now finished upon this earth;
Seeing the death of what he saw the birth)
His gracious Lord from heaven calls him home,
And saith, My servant, now to Heaven come:
Thou hast done pood, been faithful unto Me,
Now shalt thou live in bliss ETERNALLY.
On dying bed his Ailes were very great,
Yet verily his heart on GOD was set.
He bare his greifs with Faith and Patience,
And did maintain his lively confidence:
Saying to some, The work which God begun,
He would preserve to its perfection.
His mouth was full of blessings till his death
To Ministers and Christians all: his breath
Was very sweet by many a precious word
He utter'd from the Spirit of his Lord.
He liv'd in Christ, in Jesus now he sleeps:
And his blest soul the Lord in safety keeps.
JOHN Alden. Anagram End al on hi'.
Death puts an End to all this world enjoyes,
And frees the Saint from all that here annoyes.
This blessed Saint hath seen an end of all
Worldly perfections. Now his Lord does call
Him to ascend from earth to heaven high,
Where he is blest to all Eternity.
Who walk with God as he, shall so be blest,
And evermore in Christ His arms shall rest.
Lord, Spare thy remnant, do not us forsake,
From us do not thy Holy Spirit take.
Thy Cause, Thy Int'rest in this land still own:
Thy gracious presence ay let be our Crown.
