"Rev. James Alling, youngest son of Roger, 1st, was educated at Harvard College (now university), where he graduated in 1679. He afterwards studied for the ministry and was called to the church in Salisbury, Mass, in 1682, where he died in 1696.

Rev. James Ailing, M. A., of Salisbury, Mass., born June 24, 1657, was son of Roger Alling of New Haven, whose wife Mary, eldest child of Thomas Nash (gunsmith) of New Haven, died August 16, 1683.

The nuncupative will of the father directs that his son James Ailing be brought up to learning.

At a meeting of ye Corporation, 14, 3, 77 he was chosen schollar of ye house. Being from ye colonie of Nox or Newhaven, he received seven pounds from ye Pennoyer Fund by vote of ye Corporation 3 July, 1679.

January 17, 1681, the village of East Haven, Conn,, having received encouragement from the General Court, appointed a Committee to speak with Mr. James Alling to know his mind with reference to his settling there as a minister. He served them several months, but contemplating a long journey, he declined the invitation to stay longer with them. His name occurs several times in Noahadiah's Russell's Diary in connection with payments made to him. In 1682 he was invited to preach in Salisbury, Mass., and probably delivered his first sermon there the 17th December. He was ordained 4th May, 1687, being the successor of Wheelwright, and the third minister, He died March 3, 1695-6, after three months' sore sickness with dry Gripes, He was a gentleman well accomplished and of a sweet disposition. …

Court Records, Probate Courts October, 1697. 'This Court grants liberty and full power to Mrs. Elizabeth Allen, late wife of Mr. James Allen, the recent pastor of the church at Salisbury, deceased (upon her petition), to make sale of such housing and lands in the town of Newhaven as belonged to the estate of her deceased husband, said estate in housing and lands being in a decaying and wasting condition, always provided that good security be given to the countie Court of Newhaven for the preserving of the produce of the said housing and lands for the heirs and legatees of the said Mr. Allen, when they shall come to age to receive It.'

Rev. James Ailing left no sons to perpetuate the name."[2]
