Myles Standish, With an Account of the Exercises of Consecration of the Monument Ground on Captain's Hill, Duxbury, Aug - 17, 1871 #255368

Alexander devised the homestead to his son Myles, who re sided ou it till his death in 1739. The latter left a numerous family. He also had a son les, who inherited the property, but who removed to Bridgewater, and died in 1784. The mother of the last named, and one sister, remained at the old home, and were probably the last of the family who resided there. The estate was sold by Myles, July 3, 1763, to Samuel and Sylvanus Drew, who disposed of the property to Wait Wadsworth, and from his hands it passed to George Faunee, and descended to his children; then a part was purchased of his grandson, George Faunce, and a part of Luther Pierce, by the present proprietor. The descendants of Captain Standish are very numerous, and are scattered through the 'whole country.
