Anna (Alden) Snell

Descendant of Mayflower passengers John Alden and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden

"Anna Alden (Jonathan, John) was born probably at Duxbury probably in the mid 1670's; died at Bridgewater, 8 June 1705, as wife of Josiah (VR, 2:556). She married at Duxbuy, 21 December 1699 (VR, 309), Josiah Snell, son of Thomas and Martha (Harris) Snell (NEHGR, 102: 85), born at Bridgewater, 5 May 1674 (VR, 1:2296) ...

"Jonathan Alden died intestate and on 7 January 1703/4 a settlement was made among the widow, three sons and three daughters. Only the eldest son, John, was named in the settlement (ND, 6:174-78). On 5 July 1718 John sold three fourteenths share in a half tract as Majors Purchase in Pembroke that had belonged to his father and similar deeds were made by his brothers and two sisters, accounting for a total of seven fourteenths (MD, 14:141-42). Two fourteenths of the share sold by John were his as the eldest son. The other fourteenth is presumed to have belonged to the unidentified third sister. The argument that this unidentified daughter was Anna (Alden) Snell was published in NEHGR, 102: 82-86. She and her husband had apparently sold or given her share to John prior to her death, although the deed was not recorded. By the time the deed in which John sold the share was recorded in 1730, he could claim good title..."
