Notizen zu dieser Person
He was an English military officer hired by the Pilgrims as military advisor for Plymouth Colony. One of the Mayflower passengers, Standish played a leading role in the administration and defense of Plymouth Colony from its inception. On February 17, 1621, the Plymouth Colony militiaelected him as its first commander and continued to re-elect him to that position for the remainder of his life. Standish served as an agentof Plymouth Colony in England, as assistant governor, and as treasurerof Plymouth Colony. He was also one of the first settlers and foundersof the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts.
The places named by Standish in his will, with the exception of the Isle of Man, are all in Lancashire, England, leading some to conclude thatStandish was born in Lancashire—possibly in the vicinity of Chorley where a branch of the Standish family owned a manor known as Duxbury Hall. However, efforts to link Standish to the Standishes of Duxbury Hall have proven inconclusive. A competing theory focuses on Standish's mention of the Isle of Man and argues that Myles belonged to a Manx branch of the Standish family. No definitive documentation exists in either location to provide clear evidence of Standish's birthplace. (Wikipedia)
