Corporal Edward Allen

M, #12502, b. 26 October 1633, d. 21 November 1696

Biography

  • Corporal Edward Allen was born on 26 October 1633 in Tutbury, Staffordshire, England.
  • He and Sarah Kimball were married on 24 November 1658 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.
  • He died on 21 November 1696 at age 63 in Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA.
  • He was buried on 22 November 1696 at Enfield Street Cemetery in Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA.
  • From: Some of the Ancestors and Descendants of Samuel Converse, Jr. Volume 2 by Charles Allen Converse
    Corporal Edward Allen
    of Ipswich, according to tradition, came from Scotland, and had been a soldier under Cromwell. He was as early as 1658 of Ipswich, Mass.
    In 1662, he was occupying the farm in Ipswich owned by Rev. John Norton formerly of Ipswich, who had been preaching in Boston since 1652. In 1670 Edward Allen possessed a farm in Ipswich and that year his barn with sixty loads of barley was burned by lightning.
    He removed to Suffield where he had purchased 180 acres in 1678 for himself and sons, and there he died 21 November 1696, leaving an estate inventoried at £257.
    From 1689 to 1691, inclusive, he was one of the selectmen of Suffield. Under date of 16 December 1695, the following entry appears on the church records
    Corporall Allyn, in reference to his wife being thick of hearing, it was granted that he should have liberty to make a seat before, or just under the pulpit, somewhat higher than other seats, for the better accomodating to hear the word dispensed.
    Edward Allen married in Ipswich, 24 November 1658, Sarah, daughter of Richard Kimball of Ipswich, formerly of Rattlesden, Suffolk, England. She died 12 June 1696, aged about fifty six years. . .
    In his will, made one week before his death, Corporal Edward Allen provides for his five younger sons at Suffield, and his two younger daughters Elizabeth and Sarah. The older daughters are not mentioned and were probably both dead. He provided that Samuel should live with Benjamin, and Caleb with David, until they were twenty-one; the older brothers to teach the younger the "art or trade of a weaver," and when they came of age to build each a house, and give each a cow.
    In regard to the orthography of this name, the weight of evidence is in favor of Allyn; in the body of the will of Edward and in the signature it is Allyn, but as Edward made his mark, both were by the same hand. The Judge of Probate, John Pinchon, wrote Allin in the attestation and Alline in the filing; in the inventory taken by three of his neighbors, it was Alen; Samuel Partridge, Register, wrote Alline; in 1704, Edward and John, the elder sons, wrote the name indifferently Allin, Allen, Alline. This unsettled orthography continued for several years, but Allen finally obtained preference.
