Myles Standish (c1584-1656)'s first wife Rose came with him on the Mayflower, and died the first winter. His second wife, Barbara, arrived on the ship Anne in 1623, and they were apparently married before the year was out. Nothing is known about either of his wives: there is absolutely no indication they were his cousins, as has sometimes been claimed.
Standish lived out his later years in Duxbury, Massachusetts, dying in 1656 "after his suffering of much dolorous pain," apparently from kidney stones.
