Alden(1602?-1685?) is remembered in Henry Wadsworth Lonfellow's poem The Courtship of Miles Standish. Along with 74 men, she and 27 other women and girls sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 to Plymouth.
With a name like Mullins she just might be a distant relative of mine, even though she spells her name with an i. We Mullens are a fiesty, rebellious bunch. My Great Grandmother lived in a house in Philadelphia that was built during the colonial era. It had a sub basement that held a secret passage out to "Dock" Street where the warf was. It was used to hide revolutionary rebels during the war for freedom, help slaves escape during the Civil War, and bring in contriband during Prohibition. What a Family!
