Her marriage to Myles Standish's son and her first cousin , Alexander, undercuts any idea of a long-standing feud between the Aldens and the Standish clan. In fact, there is much evidence to suggest that John and Myles remained lifelong friends or, at the minimum, associates. Sarah and Alexander lived in Duxbury until Sarah’s death sometime before June 1688. (Alexander subsequently married Desire Doty, a twice widowed daughter of Pilgrim Edward Doty.) They had seven or possibly eight children. The Duxbury house where they lived still stands.

"About me section says "Her marriage to Myles Standish's son and her first cousin , Alexander...…………." How can we call them first cousins when we can not confirm their grandparents. On her side we know about The Mullins, but that is it."
