The Standish ( village of, Lancashire) Local history group published a book entitled " The Standish Family". It contains a wealth of information including a family tree. It states that Myles was buried at Duxbury (USA) at age 73. The last paragraph in the book is most telling, it says: "Many people would like to claim Myles for Standish ( village of, Lancashire) but there is no proof that he ever belonged to Standish and while he claimed kinship with the Standishes of Standish it does not seem to been a very close relationship, or there would have been some reference to him in the family archives, and so far no connection has been found." I agree with Deb, I am proud to be a Standish but am not obsessed ( as seems to be the trend) with making Myles part of my family. Dave D.

Hi. I am wondering what criteria you are using to say that it is "extremely unlikely" that Thomas was not a son of Myles. Just because he was not mentioned in his will does not prove anything one way or the other. It could well be that Myles was estranged from his first born son and left everything to the children of his second wife. I am not sure whether or not Thomas was Myles son or not, but the following are a couple of observations that bear consideration. 1. Thomas Standish was said to have come from Plymouth Colony to Wethersfield about 1636. His ancestral connections are broken by imperfect records, but his descendants are led to believe by authentic traditions, that he was a son of Captain Miles Standish by his first wife, Rose. If not a son, he may have been either a nephew or a younger brother, and he seems to have filled the same role at Wethersfield as did the famous warrior at Plymouth. He was keeper of the fort, a soldier in the Pequot expedition of 1637, and was granted land for that service on Fort Street. It is said he bore a striking physical resemblance to Captain Miles Standish, and the continuation of family names, as well as traits of character, bear out the relationship well. 2. Thomas Standish came to Wethersfield somewhere between 1636 and 1638. He was reported to be the first of 2 children born to Myles Standish by his first wife, Rose Hanley. Thomas was born in 1612, followed by a girl about 2 years later. Legend has it that when he (Myles) decided to come to the "New World", they left the children in the care of his brother due to the dangerous aspects of the voyage, and were to follow at a later date if everything went well. This concern was not unfounded, as Rose died shortly after their arrival, but before they ever left the ship. It is not known if Myles ever sent for the children. There is no further record of the girl, but when Thomas showed up in Wethersfield, he is purported to have arrived from Plymouth, leading one to believe that perhaps he may have been with his father. ----- Original Message --- -- From: "D Hanna" <dsoderhan@yahoo.com> To: <STANDISH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 8:05 PM Subject: Re: [STANDISH] Re: Thomas/Myles Standish relationship > Thank you for further clarification.

That's true..nothing can be proven...but why the interest in just Myles? I think it's great to be descended from any Standish..I value them as an ancestor....I don't care if it was Myles or a cousin, uncle, etc... Deb Kathy Castillo <kathy@i35n.us> wrote: Hi.

Thought I would pass this on...maybe everyone already has it. Deb From The Wethersfield Historical Society. Wethersfield, Ct. received 4-09-03 From the Standish vertical files: STANDISH, BELDEN Note 3113: The following statements in regard to the Standish family should prove of value to all those interested in the Standish lines. Seventy-five or eighty years ago, my grandfather, Capt. James Standish and my father, subscribed to a fund conducted by the �Standishes of America� to search the archives in England for the identity of Captain Myles Standish. A Mr. Bromley, a lawyer from Boston was sent and spent the season. In his report (which I have) he mentioned many pages torn from the records. The identity of the Captain is still a mystery. Thomas Standish, an early settler of Wethersfield (believed by several to have been of the first group and was there in 1635) is also vague. It has always been known in our family that he was a son of Myles, by his first wife. The boy, about nine years old, was left in a home in England for tuition, as was the custom then. There were two ships sailing from Ipswich, England, April 1 and April 30, 1634, in which most of the Wethersfield settlers came. These arrived in Cambridge before John Oldham had started over �The John Oldham Trail� for the Connecticut Valley. We believe that Thomas Standish came on one of these boats in company with his cousin, John Deming, but first went to Plymouth to see his father who directed him to Connecticut. He was about 20 years old in 1635. The Connecticut branch and the Plymouth branch have many family traits and looks in common.. The military tendencies of the family (�fort keeping�, etc.) MY NOTE..PRETTY COMMON OCCUPATION BACK THEN�NOT A GOOD INDICATION OF BEIN RELATED are apparent in Thomas and his descendents at Wethersfield. Some 20 years ago I discovered the following: �Baylden (Belden). George. Born 1520. Methley: Hardwick in 1574; buried at Kippox. 1588. He married Anne �Folkingham Standish, �daughter of Thomas Folkingham of North Hall and widow of James St andish of Killingholm, who was buried at Leeds. Dec 17, 1577. A Richard Baylden, born in Kippox, in �Com-Ebor� signed an affidavit in 1613 (March 26) that he was 19 years old in order to pass over for Bredough to be a soldier under Capt. Sir George Brundell and took the oath of allegience to his King. This �Richard Belden� was unquestionably the Richard who his home on Broad Street Wethersfield, an early settler in 1641. Upon the property beneath the �greatest elm in the U.S.� (This property was later sold by his great grandson Silas____, to Josiah Smith in 1742) BELDEN Again, John Belden( son of richard), born 1631, died June 27, 1677, married Aug. 24, 1657 Lydia, daughter of Thomas Standish and Susannah Smith. Their son, Samuel, born June 3, 1685, married Jan. 14, 1685, Hannah Handy, daughter of Richard Handy and granddaughter of John Elderkin, first settler of Norwich, Conn. They had a son Samuel, born July 25, 1699, married April 10, 1712 Mary Spencer of Haddam, Conn. They had a son Samuel, born April 26, 1718 (Stepney Church, Parish Records, �Rocky Hill�) died Jan. 10, 1782; married Elizabeth____who died Feb. 23, 1775. Their son, Abner Bekden, born July 12, 1742, married Oct. 24, 1771, Mary, daughter of Jeremiah Standish and Hannah Wise of Rocky Hill. The Standishes, it will be observed, intermarried with the Beldens before Richard Belden left England and intermarried with other very old Wetherfield families �Williams, Butler, Francis, Stillman, Deming. The Wethersfield Standishes have never known the identity of �Susannah�, wife of Thomas Sr. Adams Stiles place her as a Francis. Sussannah Francis was too young and married John North later. Manuscripts have been found recently in Mass. Which contain many valuable family notations about Connecticut lines. The following record appears in the Medical Diary of Dr. John Wintrop, Jr. kept while he was governor of Conn. 1658 to 1676. (He built a house in Hartford in 1657; died in 1676) �Patient: Thomas Standish, his wife Susannah Smith, daughter of Old Richard Smith of Wethersfield.� This Richard was the emigrant ancestor of the fine family of Smith, founders of educational institutions in many New England localities �Northampton, Amherst, etc. including the �first juvenile public school in America� at Wethersfield, by William Smith, 1647. Martin (5) Smith, (Deacon John 4, Philip 3, Samuel 2, Richard 1, the settler) married Sarah Wyard, daughter of John Wyard and Sarah Standish, daughter of Thomas. J.B.S.
