Notes:

George Allen, the immigrant ancestor of many of the Allen families found in North America today, arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony on 6 May 1635 from England. George Allen’s name, along with the names of those individuals he came with (106 in all), was found on a list of passengers who departed Weymouth, England for the New World on 20 March 1635. Unfortunately, the name of the ship they traveled aboard has never been determined. This party, which was under the leadership of the Rev. Joseph Hull, was granted leave on 8 July 1635 to settle at Wessaguscus Plantation by the General Court at Boston. Wessaguscus was soon given municipal rights, at which time it was renamed Weymouth, and its inhabitants were allowed representation in the General Court at Boston.
Departed Weymouth, England with the "Hull Company" 20 Mar 1635 and arrived in Boston 6 May 1635.
Although it is not known for sure, George Allen may have been born in either Somersetshire, or Dorsetshire, England, or have at least resided in one of these places prior to emigrating. Lending some support for this belief is the fact that the Rev. Joseph Hull, and many of the other families that emigrated with George, appear to have been from one of these shires.
Although George Allen is known to have married twice while still residing in England, the name of his first wife has not been determined. His second wife, however, was a woman named Katherine. Katherine accompanied George to America, and is believed to have been the mother of his five youngest children. According to the roster of passengers making up the Hull party, Katherine was listed as being thirty years old in 1635, thereby indicating that she had probably been born in about 1605 in England.
Although no records have been found to substantiate it, shortly after settling at Wessaguscus (Weymouth), George Allen and his family may have moved to the village of Saugus, Massachusetts (now Lynn, Massachusetts). Sometime during the period 1637/1638, however, George and his family apparently moved again, this time to the newly organized settlement in New Plymouth Colony of Sandwich on Cape Cod. George, who was a farmer by trade, was recommended for "freeman" status in New Plymouth Colony on 5 March 1638/1639, and on 3 September 1639, he was admitted as such. George was later sworn in as the Constable of Sandwich on 4 June 1639, and served as Surveyor of Highways in 1640. He also served as a Committeeman for the New Plymouth Court in 1640, 1641, 1642, and 1644.
George apparently died during the latter part of April 1648 at Sandwich in New Plymouth Colony, as he was subsequently buried there on 2 May 1648. His will was subsequently probated before the New Plymouth Court on 7 June 1648. One year later, on 8 June 1649, his widow, Katherine, furnished an inventory of George's estate to the New Plymouth Court. Sometime after George passed away, Katherine married for a second time to a man named John Collins, who was a shoemaker in Boston.
Although the identities of all of George Allen's children have never been determined beyond all doubt, family information provided for the town records by George’s son, Henry Allen, when he moved to Milford, Connecticut indicate that George Allen had eleven children. Henry stated that he was the son of George and Katherine Allen of Sandwich and gave the names of five siblings; Ralph, George, Samuel, William, and Matthew, and further stated that there were five others. In addition to the above six children, we also have verification that George also had a son named Gideon and a daughter named Rose. Aside from the eight children who have been verified through various documents, three other individuals, namely John Allen, who held lands at Weymouth that had previously been held by George Allen, Robert Allen, who committed suicide at John’s home in Rehoboth, and Francis Allen, who was a resident of Sandwich, was an early member of the Quaker church at Sandwich, and was not a son of the other Ralph Allen, are also believed to be sons of George Allen. - Descendants of George Allen of England and Sandwich, Massachusetts, Jack MacDonald
