John died on 12-Sep-1687, not 12-Dec. The only contemporary record of his death is in the diary of Judge Samuel Sewall, who in 1687 wrote "Monday, Sept. 12. Mr. John Alden, the ancient Magistrate of Plimouth, died." ["Diary of Samuel Sewall, 1674-1729" in Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 5th Series, Vols. 5, 6 & 7, 1878-82; specifically 5:190]. It is likely that he died in Duxbury, as he had lived there for decades. >.. +PRISCILLA [MF] MULLINS b: 1602 in Dorking, Surrey, England m: 12 May >1623 in Plymouth, Plymouth, MA d: 1680 in Plymouth, Plymouth, MA The date of the marriage of John and Priscilla is not known. It was certainly prior to the division of land in 1623 [PCR 12:3-6; MD, 1 [1899]:227-230]. The year of Priscilla's death is not known. She was with John at Josiah Winslow's funeral in 1680, but died before John, as she was not mentioned in the 1687 settlement of his estate [MD 3:10-12]. It is likely that she died in Duxbury, as she and John had lived there for decades. >.... 2 ELIZABETH ALDEN b: 1644 d: 31 May 1717 in Little Compton, Newport, RI >........ +WILLIAM PEABODY /Pabodie b: 1620 in St. Albans, Hertshire, England >m: 26 Dec 1644 in Duxbury, Plymouth, MA d: 13 Dec 1707 in Little Compton, >Newport Newport Co., RI Note that Elizabeth could not have been born in 1644 if she was married on 26-Dec-1644. She was likely born about 1624, and the first of the Alden children, in order to have married in 1644. Her gravestone at Little Compton says that she died "in the 94th year of her age" [NEHGR 115:263] which supports a birth about 1624. I do not know of any contemporary record giving the place of birth of William Pabodie. His gravestone at Little Compton says that he died in his 88th year, so he was born about 1619 [NEHGR 115:263].
