In May, 1663, the General Court of Connecticut, appointed Wm. Wadsworth, James Avery and Lieut. Smith, a Committee to view the lands at " Hamonoscitt," (Hamonasset,) and see whether it was fit for a plantation, and if not prejudicial to Saybrook, to lay it out to Mr. Mathew Allyn, Capt. Talcott, John Allyn and Mr. Wyllys, according to the grant of the Court. But if found to be prejudicial to Saybrook, then to lay out what they should judge right to the town of Saybrook, and the remainder to Mr. Mathew Allyn, Capt. Talcott, John Allyn, Mr. Willys, Mr. Joseph Haynes, or Mr. Dan- iel Clark, as the Court should determine, as far as it should go, ac- cording to their grants. Mr. Allyn is entered on the Town Record at Killingworth, as a large land holder there, and first settler, but there is no other evidence that he ever resided there, and he prob- ably never did. He owned land in Windsor, in 1640. The exact time he removed from Hartford to Windsor, is not known.
After several years' residence at Hartford, he removed to Wind- sor. In 1640, he owned at least three lots of land in Hartford. He

was a member of the General and Particular Court, three sessions, in 1648, and Juror two sessions : Deputy two sessions in 1649, four sessions in 1650. He or his son John, three sessions in 1650, and four in 1651 ; three sessions in 1654; two in 1655; two in 1656 ; one in May 1664, and one session in 1665; four in 1657; two in 1658, as magistrate, also five sessions in 1659 ; three in 1660, and three in 1661, and two as moderator, in 1661; as moderator in May, in 1662, and three sessions as magistrate ; one as moderator in 1662 : also attended in 1663 and '64, and afterwards. Mr. Allyn was fre- quently appointed upon important Committees by the General Court. In 1658, he, with Hon. Henry Clark of Windsor, was appointed to dispose of lands at Massacoe, according to a previous order of Court.
Mr. Allyn was probably married before he came to this country. He was a proprietor in the undivided lands in Hartford, and received 110 acres in the division of lands in Hartford, in 1639, the fourth largest lot distributed. Mr. Allyn was a member of Mr. Hooker's Church : he was a man of superior talents, energetic, willful and ob- stinate in all his projects. After a few years at Hartford, he became involved in a difficulty in the church at Hartford, but his brethren knew his power and influence with the settlers, and rather than to have an open quarrel with him, they induced him to remove to Wind- sor, where he remained until his death. Few men in the Colony, had more influence, or received more honors from the people, than Mr. Allyn. He had been a member of both branches of the Gen- eral Court ; a Magistrate and Judge, a member of the United Con- gress, of New England ; one of the signers of the petition to Charles IT., for the Charter of Connecticut, and held many town offices. He died at Windsor, in 1670. His will was dated Jan. 30, 1670. His wife, Margaret, sole Executrix. He gave his wife the use of all his estate, for her life, of which he was then possessed, and desired his sons, John, (the Secretary,) Thomas, and his son-in-law, Benjamin Newbury, to improve the property for her comfort. After her de- cease, he gave his son John, all his lands and estate in the bounds of the Town of Kennilworth, the farm and stock upon it : also confirm- ed to him all his lands in Hartford, which he gave him as his mar- riage portion. Also a large estate to his son Thomas : to his daugh- ter, Mary Newbery, wife of Benjamin : to his granddaughter Ma- ry Maudsley, he provided liberally after the death of his wife. Inventory made Feb. 14, 1670, £466, 17s. 12d. The land and house in Windsor, not included, which he had deeded before, to

*ALLYN, SECRETARY JOHN, the eldest son of Hon. Mathew, of Windsor, was one of the most efficient men in Connecticut. He was, when young, elected a member of the General Court, as Deputy, one session in 1661 ; two in 1662, and as Magistrate in the Particu- lar and General Court, twice, in 1662, and three sessions as Magis- trate and Secretary in 1663; twice in 1664, and once in 1665: and at various other sessions. He was again elected Secretary of Con- necticut, in 1667, which he held until 1695 inclusive. The ancient records of the Colony and Town of Hartford, are ample evidence of his intelligence and industry. Col. Allyn and Mr. Clark, in 1657, were desired to present a list of names of such persons as desired to be members of the first Troop in the Colony, to be approved by the General Court. He was confirmed as Cornet in said Troop, in 1657-8. In 1658, he, with Edward Stebbing, Nathaniel Ward, and Jonathan Barnard, were appointed to attend to the charges of the last Council, as to the withdrawers from the Church in Hartford. In 1659, he was one of the Committee to divide the Podunk lands, for- merly possessed by the Indians, and treat with them for other lands there. In 1661, he was nominated " to be put up" for election for Magistrate. In 1661-2, John Talcott and Lieut. John Allyn, had granted to them 600 acres of upland, and 100 acres of meadow, equally.
In 1662, Mr. Allyn, Mr. H. Wolcott, and Wm. Wadsworth, were authorized, if those who were indebted to the Country did not pay their Taxes in season, for the Committee to procure other provisions, and make the delinquents pay the bills for such corn purchased.
