Research Notes

  • cos1776 note: In 1679 Will of Robert Burnett, he lists Mr. Arthur Allen as a "brother". Not sure yet how Arthur fits... if he was a brother to Joan Allen (i.e. a son of Arthur Allen and Alice Tucker), why wasn't he mentioned in the Will of John Hardy, Alice's 2nd husband, like her other children were? Perhaps he was from a previous marriage of Arthur Allen??? Needs work.
