Notes for Samuel Allen
Town Clerk, Selectman, Surveyor of Highways, Constable and Deputy
Very likely not the son of George and Katherine Allen. The only records known to refer to Samuel son of George are a 1656 deed and George’s will. The 1656 deed lists Samuel “of Boston” (he’d been in Braintree for over 20 years), and he signs with a mark (he signed his own 1669 will). Also, Samuel is named along with George’s 4 youngest children in his will, while other older children are omitted. If the men were the same, Samuel’s inclusion would be odd. See http://history.vinyard.net//allen/RBA_3.htm for more details.
His will is dated Aug. 2, 1669 and proved Sept. 16 1669 and recorded in Suffolk Probate. It names wife Margaret, sons Samuel and James, sons-in-law Josiah Standish and Nathaniel Greenwood, daughter Abigaio, son Joseph (unmarried). The inventory is dated Aug. 27, 1669 and valued at £228 12s 9d. (Vinton, John Adams. The Venton Memorial, Comprising a Genealogy of the Descendants of John Vinton of Lynn, 1648”, (Boston: Private Printing, 1858), p. 303)
Often confused with Samuel Allen of Windsor, who died 1648. He also had a wife Anne, who moved to Northampton, m. William Hurlbut, and d. 1687.
