John Alderman, of Salem

John Alderman (1584 - 1657) migrated on the Recovery, 1634. His wife was Jane, possibly Jane Clapp, who predeceased him. No recorded children.

Elizabeth Deacon And her children were legatees in John’s 1657 will, along with Clapps, but she was not named as his daughter.

“John Alderman of Salem bequeathed to Elizabeth Pickering, by his will of July 3, 1657, 2 "one greene cloth suite," and he also made bequests to her sons John and Jonathan. "Whether John Alderman was their relation, or only a friend, we are unable to say ; but we are inclined to think that a relationship existed between them."
