NOTES
"Ohio's First School Teacher- Bathsheba Rouse"
by Lucy COLE Fleming
"...John Rouse, the father of Bathsheba migrated with his family to Marietta. Before the Revolutionary War he had made his living on a whaling fleet out of New Bedford, Massachusetts. His great grandfather had come from England. Through his mother John Rouse was descended from that hero of history and romance- Miles Standish. Alexander Standish, son of the famous Miles, married Sarah Alden, daughter of John and Priscilla Alen. Their daughter Lorah Standish, became the great grandmother of Bathsheba Rouse. Thus the pioneer shcool mistress of Ohio was descended from two of the first families of America..."

BOOK
"Saints and Strangers- Being the Lives of the Pilgrim Fathers and their Families with their Friends and Foes and an Account of their Posthumous Wanderings in Limbo, Their Final Resurrection and Rise to Glory and the Strange Pilgrimages of Plymouth Rock" George F Willison, Reynal & Hitchcock NY 1945:
p130: "By an ironic twist of fate, it is among the 'strangers' and not 'ye saincts' that one finds the three Pilgrims who, thanks to Longfellow, have enjoyed the greatest posthumous fame- Myles Standish, John Alden, and Priscilla Mullins. (For the passengers on the 'Mayflower', see Appendix A, which, with Appendix B, constitutes a sort of 'dramatis personae'.) The last may possibly have been a Separatist on boarding the 'Mayflower', for Cushman had early outlined the venture to her father who was one of the first ot sign up and pay in hismoney. Largely because of his name, tradition has it that William Mullins- or 'Molines', as he wrote it- was a Huguenot and came from France to join the company. It is much more likely that his was merely one of many common English names of Norman orgin. In any case, he hod long been a shopkeeper at Dorking, Surrey, about thirty miles southwest of London, and from there departed for the New World. With him came his wife and two children, Joseph and Priscilla, a girl in her late teens and probably not half so prim as painted- and certainly not so affectedly coy, a revolting mannerism not of hers but of Longfellow's day...
"Myles Standish was an older man, one of teh middle generation, a hardened professional soldier of thirty-sex or thereabouts, being four or five years Bradford's senior. Though now perphas the best known of all the Pilgrims, at least by name, Standish remains something of an enigma, for much mystery still surrounds 'Captaine Shrimpe', as he was dubbed by an enemy because he was short in stature, with red hair and a florid complexion, which lamed to crimson when he flew into a rage- which was often. Not trace has been found of his parents, but he appears to have been born at Chorley, Lancashire about 1584. According to tradition, he was early left an orphan and went off to the wars before he was twenty- shipping to The netherlands with the troops sent by Queen Elizabeth to aid the Dutch against Spain. All English troops were withdrawn in 1609, and Lieutenant Standish presumably returned home with them. It is evident, however, that he had somewhere met John robinson, either at Amsterdam or Leyden, or elsewhere, and Robinson had taken his measure rather well, as later revealed when he delivered the Plymouth brethren a stinging rebuke for a bloddy and dubious action. But Standish's life is virtually ablankk page down to the day when he and his wife Rose stepped on the Mayflower.
"Many years later, in his last will and testament, Standish asserted his claim to many large estates in Lancashire and on the Isle of Man, declaring himself the rightful heir of a rich and powerful house of landed gentry, the Standishes of Standish. It was a family with a distinguished military tradition, proud of its long line of warriors, and it is significant that the Pilgrim captain was named Myles, from the Latin miles, soldiers. But modern scholars have quite clearly disproved Standish's claims to the lands that were, so he alleged, rightfully his 'by lawfull Decent but Surruptuously Detained.' They have discovered that the Standishes of Standish owned no properties in the parishes which the captain named, and that he had only the remotest connection with this family.
"Yet this connection, remote as it is, may explain the most remarkable thing about the commander-in-chief of the small but formidable Pilgrim army. Alone of the Pilgrim leaders, he never joined the church at Plymouth. His name is comspicuously absent from its records and rolls. Nowhere is he listed among the commuunicants. This is all the more startling because Plymouth early adopted the theocratic principle that no one could be a citizen, let alone a magistrate or officer shaping and executing policy, who was not a member of the church anda communicant in good standing. Why this signal exeption? Can it be that the Pilgrims needed him and appreciated his success in organizing the defense of the colony, and for that reason were willing to overlook his religious scruples? And what were his scruples? No one knows, but it is interesting at least that the Standishes of Standish and all the brances of that family had never accepted Protestantism in any form, steadfastly adhering to their old Roman Catholic faith...

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:
A lot of research has been done on the ancestry of Myles Standish, yet nothing conclusive on his parents have been found. G.V.C. Young has suggested Myles Standish's great-grandfather was Huan Standish of the Isle of Man. However, recent research has tended to undermine this conclusion, and new discoveries are currently being made which could very well disprove the Isle of Man origins altogether.
Thomas Morton of Merrymount, in his 1637 book New England's Canaan, mentions that "Captain Shrimp" was bred a soldier in the Low Countries, and Nathaniel Morton wrote in 1669 that Standish was from Lancashire. The will of Myles Standish mentions numerous lands both in Lancashire and on the Isle of Man.
The maiden names of Myles Standish's wives Rose and Barbara are not known. Rose died on 29 January 1620/1 at Plymouth, and wife Barbara arrived on the ship Anne in July 1623. By the time of the 1623 Division of Land, Myles and Barbara were already married. This probably suggests a marriage arranged by Standish, to a Barbara he either knew from home or from his stay in Leyden. There is absolutely no evidence at all to suggest Barbara's maiden name was Mullins, as is sometimes claimed, nor that either Rose or Barbara were his cousins as occasionally claimed. There is also no evidence to suggest Myles Standish pursued Priscilla Mullins, as in the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "The Courtship of Myles Standish". This poem was intentionally fictional and should be considered as such. Myles Standish would have been about 39 and Priscilla about 18--an unlikely couple.
BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:
Myles Standish started his military career as a drummer, and eventually worked his way up and into the Low Countries (Holland), where English troops under Heratio Vere had been stationed to help the Dutch in their war with Spain. It was certainly here that he made acquaintance with the Pilgrims at Leyden, and came into good standing with the Pilgrims pastor John Robinson. Standish was eventually hired by them to be their military captain.
Captain Standish lead most of the first exploring missions into the wintery surroundings at Cape Cod looking for a place to settle. He was elected military captain, and organized the Pilgrims defenses against the Indians, as well as protect the Colony from the French, Spanish, and Dutch. In 1622 he led an expedition to save the remaining members of the Wessagusett Colony and killed several Indians who had led the plot to kill all the Englishmen at that Colony.
Standish befriended an Indian named Hobomok, just as Bradford befriended Squanto, and the two lived out their lives very close to one another. Hobomok was a warrior for Massasoit, and the two "military men" probably understood one another better than most.
So much could be written about Myles Standish. But here are a few selections from what contemporaries had to say about him, both the good and the bad.
William Bradford on Myles Standish:
But that which was most sad and lamentable was, that in two or three months' time half of their company died, especially in January and February . . . So as their died some times two or three of a day in the foresaid time, that of 100 and odd persons, scarce fifty remained. And of these, in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven sound persons who to their great commendations, be it spoken, spared no pains night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed their meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them. . . . Two of these seven were Mr. William Brewster, their reverend Elder, and Myles Standish, their captain and military commander, unto whom myself and many others were much beholden in our low and sick condition.
William Hubbard, c1650 in his The General History of New England, writes of Standish:
Capt. Standish had been bred a soldier in the Low Countries, and never entered the school of our Savior Christ, or of John Baptist, his harbinger; or, if he was ever there, had forgot his first lessens, to offer violence to no man, and to part with the cloak rather than needlessly contend for the coat, though taken away without order. A little chimney is soon fired; so was the Plymouth captain, a man of very little stature, yet of a very hot and angry temper. The fire of his passion soon kindled, and blown up into a flame by hot words, might easily have consumed all, had it not been seasonably quenched.
Thomas Morton of Merrymount, in his New England's Cannan describing Standish, and his own arrest which was carried out by Standish (1637):
. . . But mine Host [i.e. Thomas Morton] no sooner had set open the door, and issued out, but instantly Captain Shrimp and the rest of his worthies stepped to him, laid hold of his arms [guns], and had him down . . . Captain Shrimp, and the rest of the nine worthies, made themselves, (by this outrageous riot,) Masters of mine Host of Merrymount, and disposed of what he had at his plantation.
Nathaniel Morton in his New England's Memorial (1669) wrote of Myles Standish's death in 1656:
This year Captain Miles Standish expired his mortal life. . . . In his younger time he went over into the low countries, and was a soldier there, and came acquainted with the church at Leyden, and came over into New-England, with such of them as at the first set out for the planting of the plantation of New-Plimouth, and bare a deep share of their first difficulties, and was always very faithful to their interest. He growing ancient, became sick of the stone, or stranguary, whereof, after his suffering of much dolorous pain, he fell asleep in the Lord, and was honourably buried at Duxbury.
Conspiratorial letter of John Oldham, intercepted by William Bradford:
Captain Standish looks like a silly boy and is in utter contempt.
Edward Winslow, in Good News From New England describing an retaliatory military expedition, relating to an Indian conspiracy Massasoit had alerted the Pilgrims to (1624):
Also Pecksuot, being a man of greater stature than the Captain, told him, though he were a great Captain, yet he was but a little man; and said he, though I be no sachem, yet I am a man of great strength and courage. These things the Captain observed, yet bare with patience for the present. . . . On the next day he began himself with Pecksuot, and snatching his own knife from his neck, though with much struggling, killed him therewith . . . Hobbamock stood by all this time as a spectator, and meddled not, observing how our men demeaned themselves in this action. All being here ended, smiling, he brake forth into these speeches to the Captain: "Yesterday Pecksuot, bragging of his own strength and stature, said, though you were a great captain, yet you were but a little man; but today I see you are big enough to lay him on the ground."
A chair and a sword owned by Myles Standish are preserved in the Pilgrim Hall Museum, Plymouth, Massachusetts. The authenticity of the portrait of Myles Standish shown above not fully known. The inscription with the portrait reads "AEtatis Suae 38, Ao. 1625", and it is only by tradition that the portrait is of Myles Standish--a tradition, however, which dates back to at least 1812.

ID: I01921 Name: CAPT MYLES STANDISH Sex: M Birth: 1584 in ENGLAND/Lancastershire?/London?-Came 1620 on the Mayflower Death: 3 OCT 1655 in Duxbury, MA Reference Number: 1921 Note:
Captain Myles Standish came in the Mayflower in 1620 hired as military commander and defender of the Plymouth Colony. He was accompanied by his
wife Rose, who died during the 'First Winter'. Captain Myles remarried after
Rose's death to Barbara Allen who came to Plymouth aboard the 'Anne' in 1622.
Many Standish descendants believe Barbara was the sister of Rose Standish and probably brought his son Thomas Standish with her from England. Thomas
Standish also could have been the child of an earlier marriage as little is known
of Capt Myles' earlier life except that he was a professional military man who
served in England and on the continent before being hired by the Plymouth Bay
Company. Thomas Standish was not mentioned in the will of Capt Myles in
3 Oct 1655, only the children of wife Barbara were mentioned.
By that date Thomas Standish was a mature man of considerable estate. He was
a founder of Wethersfield, CT and built the fort and fortifications there before
settlement. He had military training, and, according to contemporary Wethersfield accounts, a strong physical resemblence to Capt Myles. Wethersfield settlers believed Thomas Standish was the son of Capt Myles Standish. Thomas being left out of his father's will was not unusual for an older
child from a previous marriage who had already been well provided for. When
Capt Myles died several of his sons were only in their twenties and obviously
in need of a start in life. There was also the influence of their mother, Barbara,
who naturally would expect her children to be given an inheritance equal to
her stepson's earlier.
