Notes
Sadly, the death of Benjamin Allen b. 1702 Bridgewater, MA and presumed death of his wife Mehitable Cary b. 1709 Bridgewater, MA occurred before 1737. A document from the Plymouth County, Seventh Book of Wills and Inventories dated the Fifth day of October 1737 gives guardianship of his four children to two people: Sons Benjamin and Ephraim were given to the guardianship of brother Mathew Allen Jr, and daughters Hannah and Mehitable were given to the guardianship of brother Ephraim Cary.
