CS 71 P35 2 ELIZABETH (ALDEN) PABODIE AND DESCENDANTS. In "Winsor's History of Duxbury" and elsewhere, we find "John Pabodie 1637 ; admitted freeman Jan. 2, 1637–8; proprietor of Bridgewater 1645; will dated July 16, 1649; proved June 27, 1666. He married Isabel who survived him. In his will he speaks of Thomas, Francis, and William, and Amie, wife of John Rouse, grandson John Rouse and grandson John Pabodie, son of son William."' We will follow the line of William only. He was born 1620, and died Dec. 13, 1707. He married Dec. 26, 1644, Elizabeth Alden, oldest child of John and Priscilla (Mullines) Alden, born the latter part of the year 1623, or the first part of the year 1624, in Plymouth. She "was the first white woman born in New England." This has been doubted, that in three years not a single girl was born; but there is no question when all things arè considered. We must realize how few were left of the original settlers in the spring of 1621 — only fifty, and very few heads of families. Tradition has it that the "Widow Foord," who came in the "Fortune," had a daughter soon after she landed, but the "Division of Cattle," May 22, 1627, shows that her youngest child was a son, and she brought her daughter with her. Tradition and "Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic" show that John Alden and Priscilla Mullines were married, either the second or third marriage, 'A full account of the descendants of Francis Peabody can be found in the second volume of the "N. E. Hist. and Gen. Register;" and in volume third, page 359, mention is made of the descent of Francis, from John Pabodic, his father, of Duxbury.AUTHOR. |
