Sarah Hayward was born on 16 June 1689 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, the daughter of John and Anna (White) Hayward. [1][2]

She married first John Grosvenor on 27 January 1708/9 in Concord.[3][4] John was the son of John and Hesther (Clark) Grosvenor, baptized on 06 Jun 1675 in Roxbury, Suffolk County.[5]

He died the next year on 20 or 22 July 1710 in Brookfield, killed by Indians.[6][7] The estate of John Grossvenor, tanner deceased, was appraised on 29 August 1710, and on 8 May 1711 his widow Sarah was named as administratrix.[8]

After David's wife Sarah died, he married Hannah (Unknown) who was named in a deed in 1747/8. David died in Hanover New Jersey after 1752. No probate records have been found for David Allen.[2]

Sarah (Hayward) (Grosvenor) Allen probably died in Hanover, New Jersey, sometime before 21 January 1747/8, when her widower, David, and his new wife, Hannah Allen, sold land in Hanover to his son-in-law.[11]

Other children are said to have been born in NJ, but only Hannah has been positively identified.[2]

Detaching unsupported daughter Hannah, as she was born long before her parents were married. There was a daughter Hannah, but born about 1726.

Hayward-63 and Grosvenor-75 appear to represent the same person because: There is much about these two profiles that is inconsistent, except for the marriage to David Allen - reference Find a grave #79410216 - and the last names of the two husbands of Sarah - Grosvenor and Allen. Here is what find a grave has to say about David's wives:

He married Sarah Grosvenor on 29 Nov 1711.

He married Mary ? on 24 Jun 1724 in Long Island City, Queens, New York, United States.

He married Deliverance M. Baldwin.

Let me know what you think? Thanks, Deirdre
