ALLEN FAMILY HOME PAGE

Researching the genealogy of the George Allen family of England and Sandwich, Massachusetts. It begins with the immigrant, George Allen, who married in England (1) unknown, and (2) Katherine and emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635. It should also be mentioned that only those individuals having the Allen surname are covered in each generation. Although a list of references can be found at the end of the web site, these are for a much larger Allen genealogy than what is currently shown below. The remainder of this genealogy will be added in the future. I would like to correspond with anyone working on, or connected to, this family, and would be more than happy to discuss source material. It must also be understood that research into this family is ongoing, and additions and corrections will undoubtedly be made in the future.

THE ALLEN FAMILY

GENERATION ONE

 

1. George Allen.

George Allen, the immigrant ancestor of many of the Allen families found in America today, arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony on 6 May 1635 from England. George's name, along with the names of those he emigrated with (106 in all), was discovered on a list of passengers who departed from Weymouth, England for the New World on 20 March 1635. Unfortunately, the name of the ship they traveled aboard has never been determined. This party, which was under the leadership of the Rev. Joseph Hull, was granted leave to settle at Wessaguscus Plantation on 8 July 1635 by the General Court at Boston. Wessaguscus was soon given municipal rights, at which time it was renamed Weymouth, and its inhabitants were allowed representation in the General Court at Boston.

Although it is not known for sure, George Allen may have been born in either Somersetshire, or Dorsetshire, England, or have at least resided in one of these places prior to emigrating. Lending some support for this belief is the fact that the Rev. Hull, and many of the other families that emigrated with George, appear to have been from one of these shires. Although George Allen is known to have married twice while still residing in England, the name of his first wife has not been determined. His second wife, however, was a woman named Katherine. Katherine accompanied George to America, and is believed to have been the mother of his five youngest children. According to the roster of passengers making up the Hull party, Katherine was listed as being thirty years old in 1635, thereby indicating that she had probably been born in about 1605 in England.

(NOTE:  Although one commonly sees postings and family write-ups that indicate that our George Allen is the George Allen who married as his second wife, Katherine Starkes, on 5 November 1624 in All Hallows Church, Honey Lane, London, I know of absolutely no documentation that would support that this is the same George Allen. On the contrary, there is evidence that suggests that this George Allen was the son of Richard Allen of the Tower of London, and that he was still residing in London, England as late as 1640, when he was mentioned in his brother, Henry's, will. This George Allen is also believed to be the same George Allen who died at St. Michael Queenhithe, London on 26 March 1664.

In addition to the above, it has also been accepted by some that our George Allen was the son of John Allen of Saltford in Somersetshire, England. As with the above assertion, there is absolutely no evidence that I know of to substantiate this. There is, however, strong evidence that indicates that this George Allen was still residing at Saltford in 1638, when he was involved in a court case regarding tenements in the Tything of Saltford. By 1638, our George Allen was already well established at Sandwich on Cape Cod. Aside from the fact that a person named George Allen was identified as living in Saltford, England during the 1630's, any connection to our George Allen appears to be based more on conjecture than supportable facts.

The same also appears to be true regarding the assertion that our George Allen was the son of Ralph Allen of Thurcaston, England. Even though there were two individuals named Ralph Allen who were associated with our George Allen in New Plymouth Colony, I am not aware of any evidence, other than name similarity, to support this contention either).

Although no records have been found to verify it, shortly after settling at Wessaguscus (Weymouth), George and his family may have moved to the village of Saugus, Massachusetts (now Lynn, Massachusetts). Sometime during the period 1637/38, however, George and his family again moved, this time to the newly organized settlement in New Plymouth Colony of Sandwich on Cape Cod. George, who was a farmer by trade, was subsequently recommended for "freeman" status in New Plymouth Colony on 5 March 1638/39, and was later admitted as such on 3 September 1639. George was later sworn in as the Constable of Sandwich on 4 June 1639, and served as Surveyor of Highways in 1640. He also served as a Committeeman for the New Plymouth Court in 1640, 1641, 1642, and 1644.

George apparently died during the latter part of April 1648 at Sandwich, New Plymouth Colony, as he was subsequently buried there on 2 May 1648. George's will was later probated before the New Plymouth Court on 7 June 1648, and one year later, on 8 June 1649, his widow, Katherine, furnished an inventory of George's estate to the New Plymouth Court. Sometime after George passed away, Katherine married for a second time to a man named John Collins, who was a shoemaker in Boston.

Although the identities of all of George's children have never been determined beyond all doubt, the names of eight children have been verified through various documents. In addition to these eight, it is highly probable that three other individuals, namely John, Robert, and Francis Allen, are also sons of George. Aside from those children that are known and very probable, some researchers also believe that the Joan Allen who married Clement Briggs at Dorchester in 1630/31, and the Joshua Allen who married Mary Crowell at Yarmouth in 1671, are also George's children. After spending considerable time researching these two individuals, I am not convinced that they are George’s children, and have therefore not included them in this genealogy.

It should also be mentioned that the "five least children" that George referred to in his will have not been verified beyond all doubt either. However, these children, who have been interpreted by most authorities to be the children George Allen had with his second wife, Katherine, are strongly believed to be Matthew, William, Henry, Samuel, and Gideon.

GENERATION TWO 

NOTE: Only the author's pedigree ancestor and known siblings are covered in this generation.

2. Rose Allen.

Rose Allen, the eldest daughter of George Allen and his first wife, was born in about 1609/10 in England. Rose was apparently married twice during her life. She married first to a man named Joseph Holway (also written Holloway). Joseph, who was a millwright by trade, is thought to have been born in about 1605 in England.

Sometime after arriving in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Joseph and Rose settled for a short period at Dorchester (now within Suffolk County, Massachusetts). In about 1637, however, they moved to the newly established settlement of Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts), where they appear to have resided for the remainder of their lives. While residing at Sandwich, Rose became very active in the Quaker movement and was often persecuted for her beliefs. Joseph Holway died at Sandwich in 1647.

After Joseph passed away, Rose married for a second time to a man named William Newland on 16 May 1648 in the New Plymouth Colony. This was also William's second marriage, having previously been married to a woman named Elizabeth Smith. Rose is believed to have died at Sandwich, in what had then been formed into Barnstable County, Massachusetts, sometime during the period 1690-1695. The date of Joseph's death has yet to be determined.

3. John Allen.

John Allen, believed to be a son of George Allen and his first wife, was born in England. (Note: probate records indicate he may have been born as early as 1605). He was later married in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts to a woman named Christian in about 1636. John, along with his youngest half-brother, Gideon, and a number of others, is said to have been one of the original founders of Swansea in what is now Bristol County, Massachusetts.

John and Christian apparently resided at Swansea for the remainder of their lives. John died at Swansea on 3 May 1690. His will, which had been written on 12 March 1689, was probated before the Bristol County Court on 27 May 1690. Although Christian is known to have survived John, the date and place of her death have not been determined.

4. Ralph Allen *

Ralph Allen, the son of George Allen and his first wife, is believed to have been born in about 1615 in England. Although it has not been determined when he arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it is known that he did not travel on the same ship as his father, George. According to available records, Ralph was generally referred to as a planter and wheelwright. This was apparently to distinguish him from the other Ralph Allen residing at Sandwich who was married to a woman named Esther Swift and was a mason by trade. Although Ralph is thought to have married sometime around 1630-1635, it is not known at this time whether he married in England, or after he arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Our Ralph is believed to have been married to a woman named Susannah.

Ralph eventually settled at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts where his father lived. In 1657, while residing at Sandwich, Quakerism began spreading throughout the Colony, and Ralph and six of his brothers and sisters were apparently among the first to be "convinced."  Unfortunately, the adoption of Quakerism by the Allen’s resulted in their being persecuted and fined for many years for practicing their faith. Their persecution was particularly acute for refusing to take the Oath of Fidelity which they felt was unlawful.

During the years 1663 and 1664, Ralph purchased land at Dartmouth in the New Plymouth Colony (now within Bristol County, Massachusetts), which he later conveyed to his children. Even though he was living at Sandwich at the time of his death, it is believed that he and Susannah probably resided at Dartmouth for a few years. Ralph is mentioned in several deeds as being "of Dartmouth," and in 1684 he was involved in an agreement with three others to build a gristmill there.

Ralph Allen was purported to have died during the month of March 1698 at Sandwich in what had then become Barnstable County, Massachusetts. His will, which had been written on 18 December 1691, was probated before the Barnstable County Court on 1 July 1698. Ralph was subsequently buried, as directed by his will, "in the Friends Burying place at William Allen's in Sandwich." The following children were named in Ralph’s will.

5. Robert Allen.

Robert Allen, believed to be a son of George Allen and his first wife, was born in England. In 1645, he is known to have served for thirteen days in the war against the Narragansett Indians. Robert, who appears to have remained single throughout his life, committed suicide on 15 May 1661 in the home of his elder brother, John, at Rehoboth in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Bristol County, Massachusetts).

6. George Allen.

George Allen, the son of George Allen and his first wife, was born in about 1619 in England. George was apparently married twice during his lifetime. He appears to have married first in about 1645 in Massachusetts to a woman named Hannah. After their marriage, George and Hannah made their home at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts).

According to various court records, George was fined on 8 June 1651 for failing to serve as a juror, and on 7 October 1651 both he and Hannah were fined for failure to attend public worship. George was also fined on several occasions for refusing to take the Oath of Fidelity to the King. In 1675, however, records indicate that George changed his mind and took the Oath of Fidelity.

Although the available land records indicate that George and Hannah purchased land in 1670 in that portion of the Province of East Jersey that was later formed into Monmouth County, New Jersey, they apparently never moved there. The majority of their children, however, eventually moved to New Jersey, settling in either Burlington County, or in the vicinity of Shrewsbury in Monmouth County.

In 1683, George and Hannah's relationship with the Quakers of Sandwich became strained over the marriage of their daughter, Lydia, to Edward Wooley who was not a Quaker. Hannah subsequently died at Sandwich about two years later in 1685.

After Hannah passed away, George married in 1687 for a second time, also in Massachusetts, to a woman named Sarah. George was subsequently reprimanded by the Quakers for his marriage to Sarah, who was not a Quaker, and on 3 June 1687 he acknowledged his wrongdoing. George died in 1693 at Sandwich in what had then become Barnstable County, Massachusetts. There were no issue from George's second marriage.

The birth dates of the first six children listed below were also found in the Sandwich Town records, although the year of birth differed from the Quaker Church records in every case.

7. Francis Allen.

Francis Allen, believed to be a son of George Allen and his first wife, was born in England. In 1643, his name appears on the list of men from Sandwich, between the ages of sixteen and sixty, who were able to bear arms in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts. Francis was later married at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts) on 20 July 1662 to a woman named Mary Besse. Mary was the daughter of Anthony and Jane Besse.   After Mary's father, Anthony, passed away, Mary's mother married for a second time to the Sheriff of Sandwich, George Barlow.

Francis later died at Sandwich in 1698. His will, which had been written on the 18th day, 12th month, 1695 (18 February 1695/96), was probated before the Barnstable County Court on 19 March 1697/98.

8. Matthew Allen.

Matthew Allen, believed to be the son of George Allen and his second wife, Katherine, was born in about 1627 in England. Although Matthew was shown as being only six years of age in the list of passengers departing Weymouth, England on 20 March 1635, he was later shown on the list of men from Sandwich who were between the ages of sixteen and sixty and able to bear arms in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts. His brother, William was not listed, however. This list had been compiled in 1643 and is believed to be more accurate than the passenger list. As such, the ages of Matthew (6) and his brother, William (8), are believed to have been reversed on the passenger list.

Matthew was latter married on 8 June 1657 in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts to a woman named Sarah Kirby. Sarah was the daughter of Richard Kirby. Sometime after their marriage, Matthew and Sarah settled at Dartmouth in Bristol County, Massachusetts. Matthew subsequently died at Dartmouth in 1695. His will, which had been written on 7 February 1688, was later probated before the Bristol County Court on 23 May 1695.

9. William Allen.

William Allen, believed to be the son of George Allen and his second wife, Katherine, was born in about 1629 in England. Although William was shown as being eight years of age in the list of passengers departing Weymouth, England on 20 March 1635, he was not shown on the list of men from Sandwich who were between the ages of sixteen and sixty and able to bear arms in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts. His brother, Matthew, was not listed, however. This list had been compiled in 1643 and is believed to be more accurate than the passenger list. As such, the ages of William (8) and his brother, Matthew (6), are believed to have been reversed on the passenger list.

William was latter married to a woman named Priscilla Brown in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts on 21 March 1650. Priscilla was the daughter of Peter Brown, a signer of the Pilgrim Compact, and his wife, the widow Martha Ford. William and Priscilla resided at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts) for the remainder of their lives.

Both William and Priscilla were very active and outspoken supporters of the Quaker movement, and over the years they were often fined for holding meetings and for entertaining visiting Quakers in their home. Aside from the monetary fines, William and Priscilla also had property seized, and on several occasions William had to endure whipping. In one instance in 1661, Sheriff George Barlow of Sandwich went to William's home while William was in jail in Boston. Having already seized the majority of William and Priscilla's moveable property, Sheriff Barlow went into their home and took Priscilla's last cooking pot and bag of meal. Upon doing so he sneered; "Now Priscilla, how will thee cook for thy family and friends, thee has no kettle."  Priscilla then replied; "George, that God who hears the young ravens when they cry will provide for them, I trust in that God, and I verily believe the time will come when thy necessity will be greater than mine."

William died without issue on 1 October 1705 at Sandwich in what had become Barnstable County, Massachusetts. His will, which had been written on 17 February 1697/98, was subsequently probated in Barnstable County on 26 October 1705. Although Priscilla is believed to have died in Barnstable County also, the date of her death has not been determined.

10. Henry Allen.

Henry Allen is believed to be the son of George Allen and his second wife, Katherine. Although the actual date and place of Henry's birth have yet to be determined, it is believed that he was probably born in England. After his father, George, passed away, Henry resided with his mother, Katherine, and step-father, John Collins, at Boston. By a deed dated 10 July 1656, Henry, along with his brother, Samuel, sold their share of their father's land at Sandwich to their elder half-brother, George.

Henry was evidently married twice during his life. He married his first wife, Sarah Hill, in about 1662 at Milford, Connecticut (now within New Haven County, Connecticut). Sarah was the daughter of John and Frances Hill.

After Sarah passed away, Henry married for a second time to a woman named Rebecca (Sherwood) Rose at Stratford in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Rebecca was the widow of Robert Rose. Henry, who was a shoemaker by trade, died in 1690 at Stratford, Connecticut.

11. Samuel Allen.

Samuel Allen, believed to be the son of George Allen and his second wife, Katherine, was probably born in England. After his father, George, passed away, Samuel resided with his mother, Katherine, and step-father, John Collins, at Boston. By a deed which was dated 10 July 1656, Samuel, along with his brother, Henry, sold their inherited share of their father's land at Sandwich to their elder half-brother, George.

Although it is believed that Samuel probably married, no additional information has been found which pertains to him.

12. Gideon Allen.

Gideon Allen, believed to be the son of George Allen and his second wife, Katherine, was born at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts). After his father, George, passed away, Gideon resided with his mother, Katherine, and step-father, John Collins, at Boston. Along with his elder half-brother, John, and several other individuals, Gideon has been noted as being one of the original founders of the town of Swansea in what is now Bristol County, Massachusetts. Gideon later administered his step-father’s estate in 1670.

Gideon appears to have also been married in about 1670 to a woman named Sarah Prudden at Milford in New Haven County, Connecticut. Sarah, who had been born on 9 May 1650, was the daughter of Rev. Peter Prudden and Joan Boyse. After their marriage, Gideon and Sarah settled at Swansea for a few years, but eventually returned to Milford, where they resided for the remainder of their lives. Gideon died at Milford, Connecticut in 1693.

27. Benjamin Allen.

Benjamin Allen, the son of Ralph and Susannah Allen, is thought to have been born in about 1638. He died in 1669 at the home of Thomas Cornell at Portsmouth in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (now within Newport County, Rhode Island). He was subsequently buried in the Clifton Graveyard at Newport in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (now within Newport County, Rhode Island) on 27 February 1669. Benjamin apparently did not marry.

28. John Allen.

John Allen, the son of Ralph and Susannah Allen, is thought to have been born in about 1639/40. He was later married in Massachusetts to a woman named Rebecca. John died in 1706 at Sandwich in Barnstable County, Massachusetts.

After John passed away, his widow, Rebecca, married for a second time to a man named Saunders. Rebecca's second marriage is substantiated by a probate document dated 26 February 1711/12 which dealt with the appraisal and settlement of John’s estate. In this document, reference is made to "Rebecca Saunders, late widow of John Allen of Sandwich," and their three children, Isaac, Benjamin, and Judah.

29. Joseph Allen.

Joseph Allen, the son of Ralph and Susannah Allen, was born in about 1642 in Massachusetts. Whether he was born at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts), or elsewhere, has never been positively determined, however. Joseph was evidently married twice during his life. He married his first wife, Sarah Holway (also written Holloway), on 1 July 1662 in Massachusetts. Sarah, who was born at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony, was the daughter of Joseph Holway and Rose Allen, and Joseph's cousin.

Joseph and Sarah were both Quakers and belonged to the Rhode Island Monthly Meeting of Friends. In the records of this Meeting were found the birth dates of their first six children. Sarah appears to have passed away in about 1675, shortly after the birth of their seventh child.

Joseph subsequently married for a second time, also in Massachusetts, to a woman named Sarah Hull in about 1676. Sarah was the daughter of Tristram and Blanche Hull. It appears that Joseph and Sarah lived at Dartmouth in what is now Bristol County, Massachusetts throughout much of their married life. According to available records, Joseph was one of the original proprietors of Dartmouth, owning a 1/34th share in the Township of Dartmouth.

During the period 1695-1700, Joseph acted as agent for the Dartmouth Proprietors in a dispute with the towns of Little Compton and Tiverton. In 1697, however, Joseph purchased property in Monmouth County, New Jersey, and at the time of his death he was building a home there. In various deeds, Joseph's occupation was listed as either a wheelwright, husbandman, or yeoman.

Joseph left two wills, one written in 1696 while he was residing at Dartmouth, and a second, written on 26 June 1704, which states that he was a resident of Shrewsbury in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Joseph died during the month of September 1704, probably at Shrewsbury. Both of Joseph Allen’s wills were subsequently probated on 11 October 1704 before Samuel Cranston, the Governor of Rhode Island. Joseph's widow, Sarah, is believed to have died shortly thereafter in 1705.

Ebenezer Allen, the son of Ralph and Susannah Allen, was born on 10 February 1649/50 in Massachusetts. He was later married in Massachusetts to a woman named Abigail in about 1681.

Ebenezer and Abigail resided at Dartmouth in Bristol County, Massachusetts, where Ebenezer was a blacksmith. Ebenezer subsequently died at Dartmouth during either the month of April or May 1725. His will, which had been written on 18 April 1725, was admitted for probate before the Bristol County Court on 18 May 1725. Ebenezer’s widow, Abigail, married secondly on 4 July 1728 to a man named John Whitely at Dartmouth.
