Managers: there is a pending merge which needs approval. LNAB should be Alden. Merge profile into Alden-98

Allen-16585 and Alden-98 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same wife - final surname should be Alder with the D.

Birth date 21 Dec 1664 is unsourced and should be changed back to about or before 1666.

Please, what is the source for him being a Reverend

FAG is not a good source in this instance. No tombstone, unknown burial. A 1664 record doesn't exist in the print versions of Bridgewater records (on AmericanAncestors). We don't want to use an unsourced date.

Do you have a source for him being a Reverend?
