“ Generations of Johns” by Alicia Crane Williams

The name of “John” Alden was passed down for five consecutive generations.

John1 Alden, of course, was the passenger on Mayflower with his soon-to-be bride, Priscilla Mullins.

John2 Alden, their first son and second child, was born about 1626. He went to the big city, Boston, where he became a very successful ship captain and merchant. His wife, Elizabeth (Phillips) Everill, was the daughter of William Phillips, a large land owner, and widow of Abiel Everill.

John3 Alden, their second son and fourth child, was born in Boston in 1663 (he had an older brother named John born three years earlier, who died). He, like his father, was a ship captain and merchant who did very well for his family, leaving, among other things, a house on Milk Street in Boston valued at £1,000 in 1730. John first married Elizabeth Gwinn about 1687; they had twelve children before her death in 1719. His second wife was Susanna Winslow, descendant of Mayflower passengers James Chilton and his daughter Mary Chilton, who married John Winslow, brother of Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow.
