13. Moses (s. of Ebenezer 8) and his wife Rachel had Moses, John, Aaron, Rachel, and Rebecca; he d. 1769, æ. 80 .- John Standish was drowned at Plymouth 1787 .- Rebecca Standish m. Zechariah Weston 1751 .- Rachel and Hannah Standish were both m. at Plympton a. 1740.

Mary Churchill 1771, and had 3 ss. and 5 Ds., and 141 descendants. The Rev. Mr. Holmes preached a funeral sermon at his death, and therein stated that Capt. Miles Standish, the ancestor, was 54 years old when he arrived at Plymouth and 90 when he died : but he d. Oct. 3. 1656, æ. about 72, according to the account given of it by the late Samuel Davis, Esq., and history assures us he was appointed to com- mand the troops raised to go against the Dutch, at Manhattan, in 1653, only three years before he died, and it is altogether improbable that he could then have been 87 years old; he was probably about 36 when he came over, which is corroborated by "New England's Memorial," wherein it is recorded that he went in his "younger time " into the Low Countries as a soldier, and there becoming acquainted with the Church at Leyden came with them to N. England. He was a distant descendant (not a son, as Mr. Holmes supposes), of the Rev. Henry Standish, D.D., Bishop of St. Asaph's in the reign of Henry the 8th.
