Sarah Alden was born probably at Bridgewater, say about 1665 (married 1685); died probably at Taunton, before 29 June 1713 [date Sarah Crossman of Taunton, widow of Joseph Crossman...sold...three parcels of land...(Bristol Co LR, 8:193; recorded 15 February 1713/14)].
She married at Taunton, 24 November 1685 (VR, 2:16), Joseph Crossman, son of Robert and Sarah (---) Crossman, born at Taunton, 25 April 1659 (VR, 1:110); died before 29 June 1696 (division of father's estate [Bristol Co PR, 1:151])
Sarah's identification as a daughter of Joseph Alden is based upon circumstantial evidence (MD, 42:125-27). She is probably the Sarah Crossman who witnesssed a deed of her probable brother Joseph Alden on 12 March 1708 (Plymouth Co LR, 9:88).
