      Preface

      Being one of the John Alden kindred, a 9th generation descendant, I have always wanted to know more about the life of the Mayflower passengers. The stories are not well documented. This story has no resemblance to fact. It is entirely fiction. The only truth in the entire writing is the names of some of the passengers who resided at Plymouth Plantation and some of the Native Americans that they may have interfaced with.     –Burr

      Chapter 1 Trouble with the Earl

      His name was Edward Brandon Gulvin but his close acquaintances all knew him as just plain Brandon. He was a family man and a good provider working at his own business building fishing boats. He did some fishing as well to supplement his income. He enjoyed sailing.

      He had a wife Marie and two boys, Jerald, Jerry age 7 and William, Billy age 10. Both boys had attended school for a couple years but were now helping with the boat building. His home near Plymouth, England, had access to the sea.

      Brandon knew that his common law wife had been the daughter of an Earl. She had always felt and acted his superior even though she had been disowned by the Earl and cast on her own. He also knew that she had been contacted recently by servants of the Earl although he had no idea what it was about until the night in the early spring of 1626 that he came home to find her gone.

      His wife had left a note saying that she was making a trip to visit her father the Earl and that the round trip would take two days. Her father had sent along the money to pay for the trip. Brandon had always loved his wife but had no more hope of reconciliation. That had dissipated years ago but he thought that she should at least have the decency to tell him in person about the trip. He could not imagine what the Earl wanted with her after all these years.

      Four days went by and he had not heard from Marie. Brandon was at work with his two sons in his boat shop located on a pier not far from home. He had left their lunch at home and sent Jerry to fetch it. When Jerry returned he had a note that had been left on the table next to the lunch basket. 

      The note read: My dear husband, as you know I am the daughter of the Earl of_______ and was disowned by him when I became your wife. He has recently contacted me and wants to bring me back into his family. He found that I have two male children and since he has no heirs, he would like to get to know them. I will come for them in two weeks and bring them to live in the castle. I know that you are happy building boats and even though the boys help you they can’t be indispensable at their age. You might consider partnering with your good friend and neighbor Andrew. Well, that is your affair. I know that you will not be sad to see me leave. -- Signed Marie.

      Brandon sat quietly for a long while still holding the note in his hand until he was approached by both sons. He was so stunned that he didn’t notice Billy taking the note from his hand. Billy could barely read. He had been to school for two years, but he got the idea behind the letter and shared it with Jerry.

      When Brandon finally came to his senses he said Boys I didn’t want you to see the note.

      I will run away before I will go to that place. I have seen the inside of a castle and I know of the ways of an aristocrat such as an Earl. I’ll not go. As Billy made this outburst, Jerry followed with a similar statement. 

      Brandon sat thinking for a while and his boys left him alone and went about
