45 He "James Allen, from whom most of the Dover Allens are descended, was a grandson of Reginald Allin, and a nephew of the Rev. John Allin, the first minister of Dedham. James Allen probably came to America with his uncle, the Rev. John Allin. He received his first grant of land in Dedham in 1638.In 1649 he became one of the thirteen proprietors of the town of Medfield. James Allen was the fifth toreceive a grant of land there. He married, in 1638, Ann Guild, who came with several brothers from Scotland to America in 1637-8. In this family we have the blood of the Scotch and English united.Members of the Allen family settled in Dover before it was made even a precinct in Dedham, and easily became leaders when the Springfield Parish was formed. As a family they have been distinguished as teachers and have ever had a lively interest in all educational affairs."
