!SOURCE: Genealogy of WILLIAM ALLIS of Hatfield, Mass. and Descendents 1630-1919, by Horatio D. ALLIS. Printed by Art Press, Hartford, CT. Emigrated from England abt. 1635. Took Freeman's Oath at Braintree, MA in 13 MAY 1640 ("List of Freeman of Mass" by Lucius R Page pg 18). Removed to Connecticut & later Hatfield Location of death according to Judy Stubbs in Prodigy note to Norma Baker Sept 1993According to History of Whately by JH Temple he was a deacon, lieutenant of cavalry
WILLIAM ALLIS [0] was born between 1613 and 1616, probably in Dagenham, Essex County, or London, England, and came to this country with Winthrop's fleet in 1630. The fleet consisted of eleven vessels: Arabella, Talbot, Ambrose, Jewel, Charles, Mayflower (third voyage), William and Francis, Hopewell, Whale, Success, and Trial.
In the Winthrop colonists, consisting of 700 immigrants, three distinct communities were represented: (1) those from Dorset and Devon, the Dorchester men, who first settled in Boston a number of years before it received that name; (2) those from Lincolnshire, properly called Boston men, who had decided upon the name of Boston for the new settlement before they left England; and (3) those form London and Essex.
William Allis [0] came with the last named company and was no doubt one of the 39 men on the Mayflower (third voyage). They first touched at Salem, but landed at Charlton Harbor, Boston (then called Trimountain), 1 July 1630.
The Mayflower brought what was called the Braintree Company, which included with William Allis [0], Thomas Graves and Thomas Meekins, all of whom played an important part in the first generation of our family. Our ancestor was associated with Graves from the start, always lived at the same place, and the families eventually intermarried. They were both surveyors and laid out the town, or fort, of Charlestown, the first regular settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The first trace of William Allis [0] after landing was in Mount Wollaston (afterward Braintree) in 1632. That town, comprising 50 square miles, was surveyed and laid out by him before 1634, and during that year, by order of the General Court, it was annexed to Boston. Large tracts of land were granted to certain inhabitants to settle in Mount Wollaston and William Allis [0] received 12 acres on 24 February 1640. On 13 May 1640, the inhabitants of Mount Wollaston were incorporated as the town of Braintree and, with Dorchester, Dunham, Hingham, Natasket, and Roxbury, were incorporated to form the city of Boston.
On that date William Allis [0] was made a freeman. Only those who were members of the church were allowed to take the Freeman's Oath, which gave them the right to vote and hold office. Several historians have apparently been misled by the records of the Massachusetts Bay Colony into stating that the first knowledge of William Allis [0] was on 13 May 1640. The reason for the error was that the official records of Braintree were first instituted on that day. He was made a freeman then because Braintree was incorporated into the city of Boston.

Owned land in Rhode Island later granted part to Henry Neale on 24 June 1685

[85R] BENJAMIN ALBEE (Albie/Alby), was in Boston in 1639 and in 1640 when he exchanged land there for "three lots on the Mount" (Mount Wollaston). He was made freeman of the Colony May 18, 1642 at Braintree and was prominent in affairs after that. He helped inventory the estate of Moses Payne 1643, and that of John Shephard in 1650, and was one of the townsmen or selectmen in 1648 when the Plymouth road was officially laid out through the town. In 1650 he removed to Medfield and about 1663 to Mendon when the town was settled chiefly from Braintree where he agreed to erect the first water mill for grinding grain. He was called carpenter, surveyor, miller, and was one of the first selectmen in Mendon 1667. In 1670 he was at Swansea. In King Philip's war Mendon was abandoned and his house was burned by Indians and he returned to Medfield where he is thought to have died.

In Braintree he owned the Alby or Water Farm, so called, granted in 1639 to Edward Tyng of Boston. When he acquired it is not of record but Benjamin Alby and wife Hannah of Medfield sold to John Hull Nov. 13, 1657 the "Alby Farm" (280 acres) bought of Edward Tyng, bounded West, South & East by Monetequot River, and North by a great pond, George Burden and Mr. Hutchinson of Boston, now in the hands of William Ellis (Allis) of Braintree. This is the section now Pond St., South Braintree. (S.D. 3:71)In 1657 when the Alby Farm was sold (S. D. 3:71) it was said to be "with lands of William Ellis" (Allis) who was a brother in law of Henry Neale.
