I have seen this marriage of Richard ALTON to Sarah Jones before and I think it is a spelling error and that it is Richard ELTON not ALTON. I was looking at something else not long ago as well that said HELTON which I am sure is meant to be ELTON.

I think you could well be right about the marriage witness George Walden,or Waldin, everything seems to fit in. Now I am wondering if the other witness Elizabeth Jones could have been the mother or sister of Sarah Jones.
