Biography
Elijah was born on 13 June 1754 in Middleborough, Plymouth, Massachusetts. He was the son of John Alden (1718-1821) and his second wife Rebeckah (Weston) Alden (1730-1807).[1]
On March 25, 1779, in Middleborough, Elijah Alden, of Middleborough, married Molly Alden, of Bridgewater.[2]
He died in 1826 in Middleborough; this was not the Elijah Alden who moved to New York, nor does it seem to have been the Elijah Alden who died in West Bridgewater in 1843 (who served in the Revolutionary War).
Elijah Alden served with 1st Massachusetts Regiment (1777), Continental Army during the American Revolution.
Elijah Alden is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A001020.
He was a Private in Capt. Amos Wade co. [3]
