Allyn. SAMUEL, Sudbury, m. Elizabeth d. of John Grout, had five ch. provid.
for in the will of their gr.f. as f. had d. and his wid. m. lieut. John
Livermore, by that will call. s. in law.[1] SAMUEL, Portsmouth, the royal
Gov. of N. H. was a merch. of London, late in coming to our country,
may for his progeny claim no place in this work. However he had w.
Elizabeth s. Thomas, and d. Elizabeth wh. m. lieut. Gov. John Usher, and three
other ds. d. 5 May 1705, only two days after the rep. of N. H. had offer.
him proposals that necessarily implied the spuriousness of the gr. Indian
deed to Wheelwright of 1629. See Farmer's Ed. of Belkn. I. 162, 3.
THOMAS, Charlestown, s. of John, b. at Norwich, Co. Norfolk, 1608,
bred at Gonville and Caius Coll. in the Univ. of Cambridge, where he
took his degr. A. B. 1627-8 and A. M. 1631, came in 1638, and join the
ch. of Boston 27 Jan. 1639, then call. "a student." was invit. June foll.
to Charlestown, there some time bef. had m. Ann, d. of the Rev. Mr.
Sadler of Patcham in Co. Sussex, presum. by me to have been wid. of
blessed John Harvard, his predecess. as collea. with Rev. Zechariah
Symmes. In his Ecclesiast. Ann. I. 379, Mr. Felt makes her accomp.
Allen, as his w. but this seems highly improb. as the w. would naturally
have unit. with our ch. soon after her h. if not at the same time, whereas
no fem. mem. of the name of Allen was rec. into the Boston ch. for a
long, time after he had been sett. at C. exc. a maiden Elizabeth 24 Mar. 1639
wh. two yrs. after m. Rev. Samuel Stone of Hartford. Bef. the coming
of Allen, we kn. from the Hist. of the first ch. at Charlestown, by Budington,
p. 247, where begins the invalu. catalogue, that "John Harvard
and Ann Harvard his w." join. that ch. 6 Nov. 1637. From the Hist.
of Harv. Coll. it is kn. that Allen was admor. on est. of Harvard, and
paid the moneys bequeath. so that it can hardly be doubt. that the judgment
of Felt was at fault, especially as, a few pages earlier, the diligent
author had noted, that Harvard's wid. was "supposed to have m. Rev.
Thomas Allen." His ch. were Mary, b. 31 Jan. bapt. prob. 23 Feb. 1640;
Sarah, 8 Aug. 1641, d. in Apr. foll.; Elizabeth 17 Sept. 1643, d. in few days;

yrs. after 1640, is lost. In 1651 he went home, and serv. at the same

com. hither; when worried out of his diocese, 1636, by Bp. Wren; and
again he suffer. in the gen. ejectm. of 1662; yet was with much affection
