Synopsis
Excerpt from Walter Allen of Newbury, 1640, and Some of His Descendants: With a Few Notes on the Allen Family in General 1. Walter Allen was in Newbury, Mass., in 1640 and possibly before (the town was incorporated in 1635), but moved to Watertown about 1652. In 1665 he sold his estate in the latter town and bought sixty acres near the Concord boundary in what was then called Watertown Farms, afterward the town of Weston. In 1669 he purchased 200 acres more in Watertown Farms. About 1673 he moved to Charlestown, where he died July 8, 1681, ae. 80.

Apr. 15, 1647. 2. John Allen, (Walter) lived in Newbury, Mass., until 1662, when he moved to Sudbury, where he died Dec. 1, 1711, probably about 80 years old. He was a tailor, perhaps the tailor of the town, though for a few years in the latter part of his life he had a competitor in Enoch Cleveland, youngest son of Moses Cleveland of Woburn, the first American ancestor of President Cleveland. John Allen also had a farm, where he lived, in the part of Sudbury now Wayland. Sudbury was attacked by the Indians during King Philip's War in 1676, and John Alien was one of the sufferers, his loss on a petition to th
