"… Joseph Allyn, who was b. at Barnstable, Mass., April 7, 1671, and son of Lieutenant Samuel Allyn and Hannah, daughter of Rev. Thomas Walley. Lieutenant Samuel Allyn was a son of Thomas Allyn, one of the earliest settlers of Barnstable.
Joseph Allyn and his wife lived for several years at Plymouth, but removed about 1705 to Wethersfield, Ct., where they subsequently resided. Though the house in which they resided at Plymouth was not built by him and was occupied by him only during the three years between his marriage and his departure to Weathersfield, it was known for many years, in fact as long as the house existed, as the 'Allyn House,' which designation, Davis declares, was due alone to its association with this distinguished family. …
By the records at Wethersfield It appears that 'Joseph Allin of Plimouth, marriner, bought lands at Wethersfield of Nicholas Moorecock and Amy his wife of Boston in Massachusetts, 7th Sept., in the third year of Our Sov. Queen Anne (1704).' This is recorded Feb. 5, 1704-5, showing the probable date of removal from Plymouth, as his daughter Hannah is stated on the record to have been born at Wethersfield, May 17, 1705.
Letters of administration on the estate of Captain Joseph Allyn, late of Wethersfield, were granted to Nathaniel Stillman, April 6, 1742. Early in 1744 all the heirs agreed to and signed a settlement, which was ordered to be kept on file in the Probate Office. A careful search in the office at Hartford, Ct., failed to discover this paper, nor did the records at Wethersfield, or further inquiries there, give any further information as to the descendants. Nathaniel Stillman, of Wethersfield, was his son-in-law, having married his daughter Sarah. Captain Joseph Allyn's farm and residence at Wethersfield were at a beautiful spot on the banks of the Connecticut River, commanding an extensive view. It is probable that even after locating here he followed, for a time at least, his profession of mariner, the Connecticut River having early become the seat of an extensive trade to the Barbadoes and East Indies; and communications must have been frequent, not only with his brother in-law, Captain Samuel Doty, at 8aybrook, but also with those who remained at the old homesteads at Plymouth."
