Notes
Election
Freeman"On 1 June 1647 Alexander Standish was porposed as Freeman and he was elected Freeman 7 June 1648"
In the Bay Colony, a man had to be a member of the Church to be a freeman. In Colonial Plymouth, a man did not need to be a member of the Church, but he had to be elected to this privilege by the General Court. Being a freeman carried with it the right to vote, and by 1632 only freemen could vote in Plymouth. - Wikipedia, Nathaniel Bradstreet Shurtleff, M.D., editor Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England (1853–54, 5 volumes) [especially volumes 1–3, and lists of "freemen"]
