In the "Belden Family Ancestry & Genealogy From the year 1066 to the Present" it states "John Belden, son of Richard, married Lydia Standish April 24, 1656.

I have seen it stated that Lydia was the daughter of Thomas Standish (born 1610/12 in England and died 5 Dec 1693 in Weathersfield, CT) and wife Susannah but Thomas is not listed as a son of Myles (mainly, I am told, because he was not included in the Myles Standish will) though he was his son by his first wife Rose who died soon after the arrival of the Mayflower. Does anyone know, has the Mayflower Society ever accepted Thomas as being a son of Myles?? Thanks for any input.

The Spring issue of the thrice a year Pilgrim Henry Samson Kindred "Spirit" newsletter has been published and distributed to all PHSK members. Descendants of Pilgrims Alden, Brewster, Cooke, Hopkins, Mullins and Standish may be interested in an article about two famous descendants: A Nobel Peace Prize winner/ US Vice President descended from Brewster, Cooke and Hopkins who was married to a descendant of Abraham Sampson and of Alden, Mullins and Standish. A free electronic copy is available on request to sbcwjr@comcast.net. (Mr.) Stacy B. C. Wood, Jr., Editor

[Subscribers will know that this surname is also the name of one of the 26 male passengers on the 1620 "Mayflower" who is known to have descendants living today.] That season of the year encumbered by myth is upon us again and it is good to know the difference between myth and fact. In his office in the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden, Holland, former 1627 Plimoth Plantation curator and present director of this Leiden museum, the noted Pilgrim scholar Dr. Jeremy D. Bangs has done much to set things straight. He has written two major articles debunking centuries old myths: “Thanksgiving on the Net: Roast Bull with Cranberry Sauce” and “1621: A Historian Looks Anew at Thanksgiving,” the latter dealing with publications. Both of these articles may be read on the PA Mayflower Society’s Website www.Sail1620.org “Discover History” page (Featured Articles – browse all). Among other works of Dr. Bangs posted there are the first two chapters of his forthcoming book “Pilgrims, Leiden, and the Early Years of Plymouth Plantation.” You can visit his museum at http://www.pilgrimhall.org/LeidenMuseum.htm. Of course Leiden is where the Pilgrims settled in 1609 after fleeing persecution by the Church of England and from whence they departed to begin their 1620 voyage, via England, to North America. Actual Pilgrim artifacts may be seen in the on-line collections of this nation’s oldest museum in continuous use (since 1824), Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, MA (http://www.pilgrimhall.org). Stacy B. C.

Hi, Thanks for replying, sad about your sister. I'm mainly throwing my information out hoping to find some family connections as well as check the accuracy of information I see on the web about early ancestors. My father was an only child, and is now deceased so I can't ask him any questions but he may not have had many answers anyway. He didn't talk about his family much so my mother who is living can't help either. His parents divorced when he was about five years old. My maiden name is SMITH, my STANDISH family is via my grandmother's mother. I've found a bit of information on the web re my family that goes back to Myles STANDISH but much of it doesn't seem sourced and some of the dates are really weird - as though one person merely copied another's error and it multiplied. Much of the confusion seems to be via the wives - mother's birth date the same as a child's birth date or a child born before the mother was of childbearing age or a mother's death before a child's birth, etc. Is there a site for Standish research that is current and reasonably accurate? I've plugged information into my tree on Ancestry mainly in hope to find more information or connections but I'd hate to think I was adding to the confusion by creating more erroneous information. My grandmother's list of her family was mainly compiled of the male family members: Myles STANDISH - Alexander STANDISH - Ebenezer STANDISH - Moses STANDISH - Moses STANDISH - William Hammett STANDISH - William Albert STANDISH - Albert STANDISH - George Edmund STANDISH. George E. was my grandmother's uncle. This branch of the family came to Ohio from Rhode Island and many lived in or around Columbus, Oh. Albert STANDISH was married to Sarah Dorcus MOSES her family came to OH from CT. They had three children - George E., Minnie Estelle (my g- grandmother) and Carrie Elizabeth STANDISH (married name POTTS). I'm on Ancestry and have been able to source my information fairly well through William Hammett STANDISH, although he apparently had three wives and children by two so that had me fairly perplexed for a while. Minnie E STANDISH married James THOMPSON (have not been able to locate any information about him other than his name on birth or death records for the children and a possible listing for marriage in 1892). I find no evidence that my grandmother ever knew her father - when I was born she told my mother that he was of Irish and Spanish descent and that was written in my baby book.There was no other information other than his name which was written as George Thompson. I don't know if that is the name my grandmother actually gave my mother or if my mother got confused with George Edmund and just wrote George. They had two children, my grandmother, Hazel Louise THOMPSON, and a sister who died young, Gladys Standish THOMPSON. Minnie later married Abner E RIDDLE. They had the following children - twins Edmund E RIDDLE and Edward D RIDDLE, Miriam RIDDLE (married name KESSLER) and Standish C RIDDLE. My grandmother and her half-sister appear to have stayed in touch because I have photo's of Miriam that were with my grandmother's things when she died. I've not found any children for George Edmund STANDISH he was married for a while to, I believe, Ida FUHR.

Your name took me back. I had a sister, Roberta Standish, who died almost 20 years ago. She resided in Utah when she had a car accident which killed her. I took over all correspondence for our Standish ancestors. Is there a question you need answered that I might have an answer for?

Hi, Wondering if this list is still active, there don't seem to be many posts in the last year or so. Roberta

SOS- seriously stuck on finding a marriage for these two -and the birth of their daughter, Mary b. 8 Jan. 1827 Located Mary's death record, but no maiden name for Mom given. Microfilm for the Vital Records for the period needed have the pages missing for her birth date, nothing for deaths of parents, both died in 1829, we believe. So, if anyone can help this would be a wonderful boost to us. Thank you, Hollis

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CWJBAIB/320.1.2 Message Board Post: "What I have got is all of the silver Mayflower books ever put out plus Mayflower books on all of the marriages" What you don't got -in spite of 'all of the silver Mayflower books ever put out plus Mayflower books on all of the marriages' is a line of descent from William White of The Mayflower. As you INCORRECTLY stated on 10 February at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.crossman/250 " I am doing my Crossman line and I have it back to the " Mayflower " through John Francis Crossman and the Evans family then the Babcock family and then the Wheeler family and the William White family of the " Mayflower ". You see ... Anna Evans daughter of Amos Evans DID marry John Francis Crossman and Amos Evans her father DID marry Lydia Babcock (and Lydia Babcock WAS a daughter of David Babcock who was a son of Josiah Babcock and Elizabeth WHEELER) However, Anna Evans was born 12 years BEFORE her daddy married Lydia Babcock as his SECOND wife. Folks, I ASKED Howie about this on 26 Feb, both on-line and again via e-mail! He IGNORED me (he's good at that!) but Howie almost NEVER answers on-line posts, folks So I sent him e-mail, I guess Howie doesn't answer e-mail requests, either, Howie just likes to dole out his Mayflower 'xpertise' (often-times-without-citations) But Howie NOW has documentation of why his Flower has wilted, doncha young feller?

Is Sandra Standish-Bunnell a member of this emailing group? Sandra contacted me a couple years ago and her email address is no longer valid. We both descend from Myles Standish through his son Josiah. Thanks

Hello everyone I don't usually pass on information that has nothing to do with the lists, but I feel this does pertain to many of us. If you have submitted a family tree to Ancestry.com, you might want to know of the change about to be implemented by them. The Family Trees that have been donated to Ancestry for free distribution to other researchers are about to be sold by subscription: the OneWorldTree Preview cost will be $49.95 for 14 months. If you'd prefer that your information was not sold, there is a link below which will take you to a set of instructions on opting out by deleting your tree. After clicking on the link and arriving at the page, click on "What's a preview?" near the top of the page. Read thoroughly and then click on "View our checklist" (which appears on #3). Among other things, you will see the following sentence: "If for any reason you do not want your tree to be part of the new OneWorldTree service, you must delete it from the Ancestry World Tree database by tentatively May 21, 2004." This is the link: http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/trees/owt/ And at this link you can see that it is going to be a for-fee service: http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/about.aspx You have the right to have your information removed! If you disagree with Ancestry charging for this information, show your disagreement by removing your gedcom. ListMom GnlgyNut

Hi everyone I would like to introduce myself to the list. My name is Dee and I'm the new list admin. If you ever have any questions about the list please feel free to contact me at GnlgyNut@aol.com I'm somewhat lenient with the mailing lists I admin. Slightly off-topic is usually acceptable, flaming is never acceptable (one flame and the flamer is gone). If a message goes through the list that is obviously not acceptable please do not respond to the person, rest assured I will take care of the situation. 8-) Most importantly, have fun on the list, and learn something about your ancestors! :-) Dee ListMom

I am searching for name of wife and death dates (for both) of Alexander Standish b. ca 1795 Delaware. Alexander was youngest child of Miles and Naomi Keith. He is enumerated in 1830 census in Eaton, Madison County, NY (age between 30 & 40), with wife same age and two daughters [Penelope] under 5 and [Sarah] age 5-10. This same family is in Copley Township, Summit County, Ohio in 1840 census. I have note from family chart that Alexander died in Lorain County, Ohio. I cannot find him in 1850, so I am assuming he may have died between 1840 and 1850. Sarah b. 1823 New York married John Hoyt, had daughter Laura b. ca 1849 Ohio. Penelope married John O'Connor 1 Jan 1846. She died in Lorain County, Ohio also. Alexander also had one son, Miles, who died in 1833. Since he is not enumerated with family in 1830, I assume he was born after the girls and died within the first few years of his life. Margaret Maulin

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Standish Reid Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CWJBAIB/305 Message Board Post: Back in 1957 my grandfather had a search of the records of cemetery at Mount Jerome, Harold's Cross Dublin done for any Standish burials between 1836 and 1924. I would love to hear from anyone who has information or possible connection to any of these: Grave 2005 Purchased by John Standish of Ratheggan House in the year 1856 and the following are interred: Edward J. Standish 1856 John Standish 1860 Harriett Standish 1865 James Standish 1892 Frederick Willaim Standish 1898 Grave 2755 Purchased by Reps of J. M. Standish of Sydney Avenue in the year 1861and the remains of Isabella M. Standish were interred that same year. Grave I0426 Purchased by Mrs. Standish of 52 Denzill Street and remains of Francis Standish were interred in 1895. ----------------------------------------------------------------- My notes on above. The last entry is my Great Grandfather. In Grave 2005:The Harriet Standish b. 1865 is possible Harriet Reid who married abt 1812 John Standish b. 1860. I believe the John Standish to have been the son of Lydia Mason and John Standish. Harriet and John also had a daughter named Harriet so it is possible this is the daughter and not the mother. I believe the Edward J. Standish may be Edward John Standish and he and the James & Frederick are the children of Harriet and John Standish? Hope this helps someone. Carol
