 Dorothy Selden, daughter of William Selden and Mary Appes.Born Feb 1577/78 Cranbrook, Kent, England, died 08 Oct 1674 Lancaster, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, approximately 97 years source: worldconnect.rootsweb.com,E.A.Huson. Huson gives Stephen's wife as Dorothy Selden...I had Katherine Iddenden. Family of Selden did spell their name as Selkenden. This is simalar to Selkenden if somebody's handwriting was bad enough... I choose Selden[Selkenden] because it seemed more English. According to Ben Hendrick,worldconnect.rootsweb, Katherine first married James Hosmer. Later, Stephen married her. Sounds like the respective first spouses must have died early...
