    From Mayflower Descendants Through Five Generations, John Alden, pp. 23 & 24: William Pabodie was of Duxbury in 1672. He was among the first settlers of Little Compton c 1680, and for many years led Lordsday Worship in his house by praying, reading, and singing, until about 1700 when they got a preacher (quote from Ezra Stiles). William, his son, and some of his grandsons were Deacons.

    From Rootsweb's Worldconnect: "William spelled his last name Pabodie and variants. William, who grew up in Duxbury, Mass., is referred to in various documents of the period as a yeoman, boatman, planter, and wheelwright. He was also a land surveyor. On Nov. 1, 1648, four years after he was married, he bought from John Holland and Hopestill Foster of Dorchester, Mass., a dwelling house, garden, stables, land and meadow. He later bought additional tracts of land in Mattapoisett and Sepecan. At one point, on Oct. 27, 1680, he adjusted a boundary line between his lands and those of Mrs. Sarah Parke and William Brewster. He served as a Duxbury town officer and as a representative or deputy to the General Court at Plymouth, being repeatedly elected to the court from 1654 to 1663, then again in 1668, and continuously from 1671 to 1682. He was admitted a freeman of the colony June 5, 1651. About 1684, he removed to Little Compton, then in Massachusetts but now in Rhode Island, where he had acquired a share in lands. Thus he established in Rhode Island what has come to be known as the Rhode Island branch of the family."

    William is a son of John & Isabell Pabodie. He died in his 88th year.

    William married Elizabeth ALDEN 26 Dec 1644, Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA. Elizabeth (daughter of John ALDEN and Priscilla MULLENS) was born 1623, Plymouth, MA; died 31 May 1717, Little Compton, RI; was buried , Old Commons Cemetery, Little Compton, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Elizabeth is supposed to have been the first white female child born in New England. Elizabeth died in her 93rd year.

    She is identified as John & Priscilla's eldest daughter in William Bradford's 1651 list of Mayflower passengers and descendants. She is also listed in the 1627 division of cattle.

    Some have speculated that there may have been an earlier Elizabeth who died in infancy.
