David King. Dea. Thomas located on the east side of the lot, and it was occupied by him, Capt. Daniel and Daniel King, his son, and now known as the Dewey farm. David settled on the west side of the lot, and while it was being occupied by John Watson the Boston and Albany Railroad caused the change of business from farming to a place of merchandise.
In 1728 there were eight farms bought of the Claimers and granted to them by the General Court, 1732, which formed the row between Blanchardville and the river crossing at Purlin Shearer's. In twelve years there were but two families remaining, John King and William Scott. Dea.

The same year the West Division petitioned the General Court for the organization of a separate township.

GENEALOGIES AND RECORDS.
THE REGISTER OF FAMILIES THAT SETTLED IN THE ELBOW DISTRICT DURING THE FIRST CENTURY.
" Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them." -GEORGE ELIOT.
M ANY persons know and care little about their ancestors, and to those the labor and expense in compiling this part of our town history will appear wasted, yet the true history of the town is only the history of the families that compose it. Therefore no educated person will underrate the value of historical investigation.
Having a desire that this part of the work might be as complete as circumstances would permit, I have corresponded with the de- scendants of our ancestors residing in the Middle and Western States, and also searched the records of other towns and those of the New England Genealogical and Historical Society at Boston that contained information with regard to their residence previous to their settlement in this town. Mistakes may occur in some in- stances, which I trust will be excusable by those who have been en- gaged in a similar work. In a few instances I have given some traditional account of families when the traditions were more than probably true.
NOTE .- Abbreviations: b., born ; m., married ; unm., unmarried ; ch., children ; dau., daughter ; s., son ; w., wife. Some families have two col- umns of figures-the one at the left represents the registered member of the family ; the figure at the right of the head of the family denotes the . generation from the first family registered.
THE APPLIN FAMILY.
John and Rebecca came from Watertown. He was a blacksmith by trade, and carried on the business near the Jonas Blodgett place. Their settlement here, in 1727, was after the birth of some of the children, as they are not on the records with the rest of the family.
An epidemic deprived them of three of their boys in seventeen days, in the month of January, 1738. We can hardly imagine the severe affliction of this family, with several others, in the loss of

their children by that dread disease, (on the records) the mortal throat distemper ; and at a time of their being deprived of the comforts of life, and living in a wilderness country.
The family resided in Palmer till 1764, and then his son Thomas, with his family and youngest sister, Rebecca, removed to a new settlement (Swansey, N. H.). He is represented on the records of this town as a useful man in society, and in Swansey one of the leaders in the organization of the town and church. He carried with him a letter from the first Presbyterian Church of Palmer.

The different branches, or the different lines of the Allen family that have lived in town for the past ninety years are not easily traced to their progenitors, and their family relation to each other very well known, as there appears no connecting link with the branches whose genealogy have been traced.
The Allen family have long been residents in England and Scot- land, and many of them shared in titled and honored names.
Capt. Abner Allen came from the eastern towns to Petersham, and m. Philadelphia Crowl May 20, 1793. I find some records that make it possible that he might have been a descendent of Walter, that settled in Newbury, 163 -. He removed to Palmer in 1800, and located on a farm east of the Old Centre, and in connection with farming worked at his trade, (a blacksmith).

Allen, James G., Judge, was the son of Edmund, born in Bel- chertown, and grandson of Capt, Edmund Allen from Sturbridge, that removed to Belchertown in early life. Edmund Jr. lived in Belchertown till he was 23 years of age, and being known as a superior mechanic, Benjamin Prescott, a superintendent of the Springfield Armory, in 1809 gave Mr. Allen employment in stock- ing guns, which was somewhat tedious, as the Blanchard patent for irregular turning had not been brought into use. He worked in the armory till 1845, and at the age of 28, married Lucy, daughter of Jonathan Gardner, a merchant of Springfield. The family con- sisted of nine children ; James G., our late townsman, b. in Spring- field, and when young entered the printing-office, but later engaged in carriage manufacturing at Huntington. He studied law in Springfield, and in 1853 settled in Palmer, and opened an office in Strong's block. He was Trial Justice, Notary Public, Commis- sioner of Insolvency and Public Administrator, and July 1, 1872, appointed Judge of the Eastern Hampden Court, which appoint- ment he held at his death, 1878. Mr. Allen took an active part in the improvements of the village, he built the Allen Block in 1873-4, his residence was the brick house built by the B. &. A. R. R. cor- poration for Capt. Watson. His progenitor dates back to the early settlement of the colony. James Allen and wife, Anna, came from Suffolk Co., England in 1639, and settled in Dedham, the town where his cousin, Rev. John Allen settled in 1637, and became the first settled minister in 1639. James was made freeman in 1647, and in company with fifty others in 1649, settled in the western part of the town on Charles river, and in the following year it was incorporated Medfield.
