Person:Esther Allen (1)

Her maiden name was not Allen per "Thomas Fox of Concord" p. 18a. However a note in the book indicates that further research indicates Esther to have been born Allen, married an Andrew, then Allyn, then Fox. This is confirmed by the records of her three marriages in Torrey.

Her husbands (in order) were John Andrews, b. 1625 married before 1672; John Allyn b. 1642 married about 1690; and Samuel Fox.

Esther had no children by Samuel Fox.
