7. ALLISON(4) LASSELL (Joshua(3), Joshua(2), John(1)) was born about 1726 in Arundel (the name Allanson, as it was spelled and doubtless pronounced by Ralph Allanson, became Allison to his descendants who used it as a given name, and Ellison in this branch of the Lassell family). He went on the Louisburg expedition in 1745 in the company of Capt. John Kinslagh, and he later appointed Capt. Thomas Perkins to receive his share of the plunder.

From the Ilesboro records it appears that his first child was born in Arundel, presumably by a wife married in that neighborhood, and the local historian states that he married a Smith. The family tradition, however, is that all of his children were by his wife Martha Malone, of an eastern Maine family, and that he later married a widow, Eunice _____.

He again entered military service on May 12, 1758, in Capt. Samuel Glover's company, Col. Joseph Williams' regiment, and continued until October 26, including his journey home from Lake George which took thirty-three days. He re-enlisted april 2, 1759, under Col. William Pepperell, giving his age as thirty-three and his residence as Arundel. Some time thereafter he moved to Penobscot Bay and settled on the island which has since borne his name and where he died about the year 1800.
