Myles Standish, a key figure in the Pilgrim Church, had children with Sarah Alden. His son, Miles Standish II, born in 1735, married Experience Sherman. The lineage of Standish's descendants is traced through his children, with notable names like Isaac Samson, Mercy Samson, and Sarah Soule among them.

The Mayflower Compact, signed on November 11, 1620, at Cape Cod, established laws and ordinances for the general good of the Colony. It was a significant document that laid the foundation for governance and order in the new settlement. The signatories, loyal subjects of King James, undertook the voyage for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.

Myles Standish's legacy endures through his contributions to the early American colonies. He is commemorated with a memorial in Duxbury, symbolizing his role in the Pilgrim Church and the establishment of the Colony. Standish's leadership and descendants continue to be remembered for their impact on the history of the United States.
