Mercy “Mary” Allen

The late John Stebbins Lee, of Canton, New York, had a tradition that the family was descended from John Leigh, who came to Ipswich, Mass. in 1634. This John Lee died in 1671. No further account of him can be found. An excellent authority on New Engand genealogies asserts that Samuel Lee of Watertown, Mass. was a son of Samuel Lee, of Malden, same colony. For purposes of identification we will assume Samuel Lee to be the progenitor of this family. His parentage will probably be ever shrouded in mystery.

(I) Samuel Lee was born in 1640, and resided in Malden, Mass., where he married Dec. 4, 1662, Mercy Call, born Nov. 7, 1643, in Charlestown, Mystic side, daughter of Thomas (1) Call. Samuel Lee died in Malden, in August, 1676, and his widow married (second) John Allen, and died in 1678, the same year as her second husband.

The only children of Samuel and Mercy (Call) Lee, found of record were:

1. 1. Mary, born 1663.
2. 2. Elizabeth, 1670, married Jonathan Howard.
3. 3. Mercy, married Richard Weeks.
4. 4. Hannah, 1673.

There were undoubtedly other children.
