Person:Francis Allen (3)

Francis Allen, probably a son of George Allen and his first wife, was born in England. In 1643, his name appears on the list of men from Sandwich, between the ages of sixteen and sixty, who were able to bear arms in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts. Francis was later married at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts) to a woman named Mary Besse on 20 July 1662. Mary was the daughter of Anthony and Jane Besse. After Mary's father passed away, her mother married for a second time to the Sheriff of Sandwich, George Barlow.

Francis subsequently died at Sandwich in 1697/98. His will, which was written on 18 February 1695 (18th day, 12th month, 1695), was probated in Barnstable County on 19 March 1697/98
