	Myles Standish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Myles Standish is often remembered for his bravery in battle and his reputation as the military captain of the Pilgrims, as well as a character in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's fictitious poem The Courtship of Miles Standish.
		The township of Standish was of importance during the Roman occupation of Britain, and the Standish family is known to have been there since the Norman Conquest.
		Standish was also the treasurer of the Colony of Duxbary from the year 1644 to 1649, which was named after the original Standish estate in Chorley, England.

	Myles Standish
		Myles was hardly oblivious to the parish from which conceivably he would take a wife, and whose lands he would tenaciously claim all his life, and it is inconceivable that the false rumour would not have been exposed.
		Myles had been engaged in the war of independence in Holland, after which, when he was one of the garrison at Leyden, he became intimate with some of the Puritan emigrants from England, though he was never a member of their Church.
		Myles claimed descent from Standish of Standish, and the meaning of his statemerit merit probably is that the branch to which he belonged was founded or refounded by a younger son from Standish Hall.

	Was Myles Standish a Manxman?
		Interest in the problem of Myles Standish is likely to occur with the regularity of Halley's Comet at the centenaries of the voyage of the "Mayflower" and the birth of Myles himself.
		Whatever the origin of the tradition that both Myles' wives were Manx, Willison records that nothing is known of Rose's family, and of Barbara only that she was Rose's sister and came out on the "Anne" in 1623 to marry Myles.
		The 1919 paper relies heavily on Porteus' article of October 1914, The Ancestry of Myles Standish, (in which incidentally, Porteus was perhaps influenced by Cubbon to say that Myles was born either in Lancashire or the Isle of Man).

		This victory of Standish spread terror among the savages, and, as a warning to further depredations, the head of Wituwamat was exposed to view at.
