Myles Standish, one of the early Pilgrim settlers
Myles Standish
Myles Standish (c. 1584 - October 3, 1656), was an English-born professional soldier hired by the Pilgrims as military advisor for Plymouth colony. Arriving on the ''Mayflower'', he worked on colonial defense. Later, he served as Plymouth's representative in England, and served as assistant to the governor and as the colony's treasurer. He was also one of the founders of the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts in 1632. He is best remembered through Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's ''The Courtship of Miles Standish''. On February 17, 1621 he was appointed the first commander of Plymouth colony.
Myles Standish is often remembered for his bravery in battle and his reputation as the military captain of the Pilgrims.
Standish was born about 1584 (though some put his birth later around 1587). According to Nathaniel Morton writing in ''New Englands Memorial'' (1669), Myles was from Lancashire, England. In the 20th century, some researchers attempted to place his birth at Ellanbane, Isle of Man, rather than in Lancashire. This issue has been widely debated, even becoming the subject of a Wall Street Journal article in the Thanksgiving 2004 issue.
The Standish name was well known through out Northern England and there are many buildings still standing there today named for the Standish family. His alleged birth home, Standish Hall, was auctioned at the Empress Hall, Wigan in March 1921, failing to make a reserve price of £4,800. The remaining part of the Hall was finally demolished in 1982. The original ancestral home of the Standishes was Duxbury Hall, which is still standing today. The township of Standish was of importance during the Roman occupation of Britain; and the Standish family is known to have been there since the Norman Conquest. Present Day Duxbury Hall has been sold to strangers and is surrounded by the Wigan coal-field and with it the traffic of the Yorkshire Railways along with various factories that are busily in operation. The wealth of the territorial
