Descendant of 4 Mayflower Pilgrims: John Alden, William Mullins & Alice Unk. Mullins, Priscilla Mullins.
Rebecca (Alden) Delano was born in the late 1640's to John Alden and his wife Priscilla (Mullins) Alden. The Aldens were residing at Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.[1][2]
Her marriage to Dr. Thomas Delano took place before October 30, 1667. At that time the Alden and the Delano family seem to have been neighbors. The Delano's had nine children: Benoni, Thomas, Deborah, Jonathan, David, Mary, Sarah, Ruth, Joseph.[3]. The Delano family resided at Duxbury. Thomas Delano outlived his wife, who seems to have died in the time period from 1696 to 1722.
It is claimed that Rebecca died before 13 June 1688, the date her father's estate was settled.[4] Is this correct? Her husband Thomas Delano signed the probate document, but so did William Pabodie, and no one is claiming that Elizabeth died before that date. Two other husbands signed but they clearly state in the right of their deceased wives.
Rebecca was alive 12 June 1696 (when she was called a motherly woman) and died before her husbands will 5 Oct 1722.[6] She is probably buried at the Myles Standish Burial Ground in Duxbury.
