Notater:

According to the Compilation of Family Group Sheets of the Allen Family of New England, Samuel Allen removed to New England before his father.
He was a first settler in Boston, Massachusetts in 1628. He resided in Duxbury, Massachusetts before moving to Braintree where he was made a freeman 6 May 1635.
Samuel was married twice. His first marriage was to a lady named Ann who died in 1641. He remarried to Margaret, widow of Edward Lamb several years after Ann had died.

It has since been determined by other research found that Ann's last name was Whetmore or Wetmore.
Will made in 1669 and names his children. Added by Steven Losey from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/161707096/samuel-allen The following sketch is for the purpose of refuting any attempt to claim this Samuel Allen was the son of George Allen of Sandwich, Mass.[1] Further, to clearly establish Samuel as the father of sons Samuel and James, who married two daughters of the writer's ancestors - George Partridge and Sarah Tracy of Duxbury, Mass.

Samuel Allen, born perhaps circa 1601 in England of unknown parents, d. of record in Braintree (then part of Suffolk County, now Norfolk County), Mass on the "6th mo., 2d day, 1669" (i.e., Aug. 2, 1669), the same day he signed his recorded will.

In 1625 Thomas Morton, along with some 30-40 non-Plymouth Pilgrims, parted company from Plymouth and established beyond the limits of the Plymouth Colony "Merrymount," subsequently renamed "Mount Wollaston," now encompassed by Braintree and Quincy, Mass. After the 1630 arrival of the Massachusetts Bay colonists, the Town of Boston claimed jurisdiction over "Mount Wollaston." Boston's earliest grants at "the Mount" began in 1634 as large farms for Boston's prominent citizens and clergy. By the year 1639 Boston's grants of land at "the Mount" were for general settlement based on 4 acres per family member at a cost of 3 shillings per acre.

The earliest known record of Samuel Allen in New England is on Feb. 24, 1639/40 when the town of Boston granted him, among others, land at Mount Wollaston (that part now Braintree) consisting of 28 acres to accommodate 7 heads [BTR 49.]

On an unknown date and place probably in England, Samuel m. 1) a wife purportedly named Ann Whitmore; however, both her first and purported maiden name are unproved. She is claimed to have died in Braintree Sept. 29, 1641, but no record can be found confirming that date as fact. Samuel Allen had the following four known children by his first wife:

• i. Samuel Allen, Jr., b. Nov. 10, 1632, d. testate in Bridgewater, Mass. between June 29, 1703 (date of his will), and Dec. 21, 1705 (date of probate); m. by early 1660, Sarah Partridge, dau. of George Partridge and Sarah Tracy, b. circa 1639 in Duxbury, Mass. She d. Aug. 7, 1722 in Bridgewater, Mass. Ten children of the family, all descendants of Stephen Tracy of the 1623 Little Ann passage to Plymouth, Mass.

• ii. James Allen, b. after July 25, 1636, d. July 25, 1714 in Chilmark, Mass., Æ 78 (g.s.); m. by 1662, Elizabeth Partridge, sister of his brother Samuel's wife, b. after Aug. 8, 1643 in Duxbury, Mass. She d. Aug. 8, 1722 in Chilmark, Mass., Æ 79 (g.s.) Twelve children of the family, all descendants of Stephen Tracy of the 1623 Little Ann passage to Plymouth, Mass.

• iii. Sarah Allen, b. Mar. 30, 1639, was living Sept. 16, 1690 in Preston, Conn.; m. after Mar. 7, 1655/56 as his 2nd wife, Josiah Standish, s. of Capt. Myles Standish of the 1620 Mayflower and his wife Barbara, b. circa 1633 either in Duxbury or Plymouth, Mass. He d. Mar. 19, 1689/90 in Preston, Conn. Eight known, possibly nine, children of the family, all Capt. Myles Standish Mayflower descendants.

• iv. Mary Allen, b. circa 1641, was living in Boston, Mass. in 1684 as her husband's widow; m. Jan 24, 1656/57 of record in Weymouth, Mass., Nathaniel Greenwood of Boston. He d. testate July 31, 1684 in Boston (g.s., #8448145). Five recorded and one unrecorded children of the family in Boston.

On an unknown date and place before late 1649, Samuel m. Margaret, the widow of Edward Lamb of Boston, who survived him. Like his first wife, that Margaret's maiden name was French is unproved. They had two known children in Braintree:

• v. Joseph Allen, b. May 15, 1650, d. Mar. 20, 1726/7 in Braintree, Mass.; m. 1) Jan. 30, 1670/1 in Braintree, Rebecca Leader (not Ruth Searles) [2], and 2) Jan. 27, 1703/4 in Braintree, the widow Lydia (Ford) Holbrook.

• vi. Abigail Allen, b. after Jan 25, 1650/1.

In his Braintree, Mass. will dated Aug. 2, 1669, Samuel gave to son Samuel £20, to son James £5, to son-in-law Josiah Standish £5 (husb. of dau. Sarah), to son-in-law Nathaniel Greenwood £5 (husb. of dau. Mary), and to unmarried dau. Abigail £30. The balance of the estate he left one-half to wife Margaret and one-half to son Joseph, with Margaret authorized to pay £10 amongst her own Lamb children if she saw need. He named wife Margaret executrix and son Joseph executor of the will. The estate inventory totaling £228.12.09 was taken Aug. 27, 1669. The witnesses to the will and both the executrix and executor gave proof of the will Sept. 16, 1669.

[1] Samuel Allen, the acknowledged son of George Allen of Sandwich, Mass., was living in Boston July 10, 1656 when on that date "Henery and Samuell Allin of Boston ... joint heirs of a piece of land ... in the bounds of Sandwich ... which was the proper possession of our father George Allin deceased, and by him given to us ... with the consent of our Mother, to say now Katheren Collins who hath interest during her life," sold the land "unto George Alline of Sandwich" (Henry and Samuel's brother) [MD 25:136-37, citing PCLR 3:37]. After this deed Samuel, son of George of Sandwich, disappears from the records.

[2] See NEHGR 54 (July 1900): 349-50 for the well developed argument regarding the correct identity of Joseph Allen's first wife.
