    Other Events:

    • Name: Elizabeth
    • Reference Number: 5749
    • Birth: 4 Sep 1712, Stonington, New London, Connecticut, USA

    Notes:

    I have shown that the Samuel Allen who married Lydia Hastings is not the same Samuel Allen who is the father of Elizabeth. His daughter Elizabeth has a different birthday, lives in a different town and has a different husband. This line shows up in the on-line family trees and the OneWorldTrees, but it is proven to be incorrect. The details are as follows.

    Baker in "Montville" shows that Lydia Hastings, dau of John Seaborn Hastings and Lydia Champney, married Samuel Allen of Massachusetts. They had a daughter Elizabeth Allen b. abt 1716 who married Jedidiah Graves. The Barbour Collection shows Elizabeth Allen married Jedidiah Graves June 1737 in East Haddam, Connecticut. The only way to reconcile this would be to say that Baker has the birth date of Elizabeth wrong and that she first married Samuel in 1732 and secondly married Jedidiah in 1737. BUT, according to The Barbour Collection Samuel Dewey and Elizabeth were continuing to have children until 1742, which means she could not have married Jedediah in 1737, thus she is a different person.

    • Will: 13 Mar 1741/42, Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA
    • Probate: 12 Mar 1743/44, Windham, Connecticut, USA

    Notes:

    Place and date of birth is unknown. We estimate birth year of about 1686 based upon his marriage date.

    The first known record of Samuel is his marriage in Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island with Catherine Morehouse, daughter of Thomas Morehouse and Mary Hill of Boston. This is recorded in the Arnold Collection. Their first 5 children are recorded in the Westerly records.

    By 1724 the family had moved to Stonington, New London, Ct. From the records of the First Congregational Church in Stonington, we find the next 4 children.

    A record of the First Congregation Church in Stonington dated 22 Mar 1730/1731 states “Samuel Allen and Catherine his wife were recommended to ye communion of ye 2d Church of Christ in Lebanon”.

    The final 3 children are recorded in Lebanon, New London, Ct.

    Children:
    Mary Allen 17 Sep 1709, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA
    Catherine Allen 20 Dec 1711, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA
    Elizabeth Allen 4 Sep 1713, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA
    Joshua Allen 2 Apr 1715, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA
    Samuel Allen 26 Jun 1717, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA
    Thomas Allen 30 Aug 1724, Stonington, New London, Ct, USA
    John Allen 29 Aug 1725, Stonington, New London, Ct, USA
    Eunice Allen 17 Nov 1728, Stonington, New London, Ct, USA
    Ruhameh Allen 14 Sep 1729, Stonington, New London, Ct, USA
    Joseph Allen 26 Jan 1732/33, Lebanon, New London, Ct, USA
    Daniel Allen 14 Aug 1735, Lebanon, New London, Ct, USA
    George Allen 11 May 1737, Lebanon, New London, Ct, USA

    Westerly, Rhode Island Deeds Vol. 5:
    Pages 93-94, Samuel Allen and Cathern? his wife, mason, to Elihu Palmer of Stonington, saddler, 45 A bounded: land which was formerly James Babcock, Champlins house, Lanphears fence, Oliver Babcock, April 4, 1729. Witnesses: Stephen Willcox and Theodaty Rhodes.

    Samuel has been conflated with the son of Joshua Allen and Mary Crowell. But this is disproved by NEHGR 1971 P232-233-"Yelverton Crowell of Yarmouth, Mass." According to cemetery inscriptions from "History of Ancient Windham" the family plot shows their son Samuel died at Coventy, Ct 14 Oct 1718; whereas our Samuel was having children in Lebanon Ct until 1729 and is recorded as having died in Lebanon in 1742.

    Samuel has also been conflated with the Samuel Allen marrying Lydia Hastings, dau of John Seaborne Hastings. But the children do not match up.

    At this point, we do not know Samuel’s parentage.
