General Notes: Husband - Capt. Miles Standish

---

He served with the English forces in the Low Countries, and be­came associated with the Pilgrims at Leyden, Holland. On the voyage of the “Mayflower” he was accompanied by his wife Rose, who died the first winter after their arrival at Plymouth. He married again, one of the passengers who came in the ship “Anne.” On February 17, 1620-21, he was formally chosen captain, and organized the first military com­pany in New England, continuing in its com­mand until his death. It is said that his watch­fulness averted many disasters to the feeble colony. He also took part in civil affairs, and served as assistant, that is, one of the gov­ernor's council, for nineteen years. In 1625 he went to England on business relating to the colony's affairs. For six years he was treas­urer of the colony. About 1631 he removed to Duxbury, and built his house on a hill which was called “Captain's Hill” thereafter.
