* There was another William Allen who was in Salem in 1626, and had children born 1632-49; also still another made his will in Boston, Dec., 1674, without children, or perhaps only one. A Wm. Allen took oath of freemen May 18, 1631. A John Allen had children rec. at Newbury, 1656-62. Walter Allen, chil. in Newbury, 1641-47. (C Nb.)
Edward Allen, of Ipswich, mar. Sarah Kimball, Nov. 24, 1658; had children born there 1659-78; rem. to Suffield. (Savage.)
We do not know that any of these were related to the Salisbury Allens.
Her son, Ephraim Roper, presented the account. In the will she mentioned her daughter, "Ruth hains"; grand-daughter "Sary Adhams"; "Thomas Adham's wife and Samuel Adhams my two grandchildren"; "grandson Goodhew"; "those three of my children that are deceased and left children"; "the part which should be to my daughter (Courrer's?) children, to my grand-daughter Goodhew's child which she had by John."

[This is a footnote continued from bottom of page 31]
An "Alce Makamb" is mentioned, who apparently could not have been a daughter. Benjamin Allen and Rachel Allen were witnesses.
Savage states that John2 Roper of Dedham came in 1637, aged 26, with wife Alice, 23, and two children, Alice and Elizabeth. At D. they had Rachel, b. 1640, d. 1641; Hannah b. 1642; Ephraim and Benjamin (or Nathaniel), twins, b. 1645. From the will it appears that she also had a dau.

* A John Allen served under Capt. Turner, April, 1676, King Philip's war. John Allen, of S., mariner, about to go on a voyage to sea, made his wife Mary his attorney, Sept., 1682. Lieut.

Maj. Robert Pike gave land in 1687 to his seven children, and in 1691 he deeded Mary's share to her husband, Lieut. John Allen.
