3. AMos5 (Nathaniel4, Joseph3, Joseph2, John1), b. 1744; m. Jan. 9, 1770, Mary Parker. His name is borne upon the New Ipswich records of the same years as those of his two brothers, and the three probably came from Westford at about the same time. But his name continues until 1781, although he seems to have finally removed, like his brother Nathan, to Plymouth and Cavendish, Vt. His activities during the Revolution seem to be located by the record of his military service for a considerable part of that period. His name is found upon the roll of volunteers aroused by the Concord alarm, but his later enlistments, concluding with one for the period of three years, credit him to Fitzwilliam, from which he probably re- ceived a bounty.

JOHN4 (Allen3, Allen2, Allen1), b. Oct. 10, 1689; d. Apr. 16, 1774; m. Jan. 2, 1717, Lydia Gott of Wenham, Mass. [b. Apr., 1699; d. Aug., 1789]. He was a yeoman and coaster. Res. Lynn.
1. JOHN5 (John4, Allen3, Allen2, Allen1), b. Sept. 13, 1720; d. July 25, 1780; m. 1743, Jane, dau. of Elisha4 and Jane (Breed) Newhall [b. Aug. 9, 1721; d. 1790]. This marriage forms a part of a somewhat complicated union between the families engaged, as Elisha4 Newhall and his brothers, Ebene- zer, Samuel, and Daniel, and their sister Susannah, had married members of the Breed family, three of whom, at least, Jane the wife of Elisha, Elizabeth the wife of Ebenezer, the ancestor of the Newhalls of New Ipswich, and Joseph the husband of Susannah, were children of Joseph4 Breed, and Keziah the wife of Samuel was his niece. John came from Lynnfield to New Ipswich about 1764, and settled near the state line upon 82, A. D., and developed an excellent farm there at the end of the highway. Children :

2.'NATHANIEL5 (John4, Allen3, Allen2, Allen1), b. July 22, 1728. His name appears upon the New Ipswich tax-lists from 1781 until 1789, but most of his life was spent elsewhere. He was resident at Easton, Mass., in 1757, but removed to Sudbury, Mass., in 1760, and thence to Packersfield, now

Nelson, five years later. In 1775 he enlisted as surgeon of the company leaving Nelson, and appears later as surgeon's mate of the regiment of Col. James Reed. Children :
14. i. JOHN, b. Oct. 15, 1757. He enlisted from Nelson at the same time as his father, but upon reaching Boston he was en- rolled in the company of Capt. Ezra Towne. At Bunker Hill his hat was struck by a bullet, and also his cartridge- box. He enlisted several times before the close of the war. He continued his residence in Nelson until 1828, when he removed to Sandy Creek, N. Y.
15. ii. THOMAS K., b. Apr. 10, 1761; d. Feb. 2, 1849; m. Dec. 15, 1791, Polly Keyes. His place of residence appears to have been quite changeable. He seems to have lived in New Ipswich from 1783 until 1788, then for some years in Nel- son, afterward in Antrim, and later still in Lowell, Mass. He enlisted several times during the Revolution, serving in companies from Rindge, Fitzwilliam, and vicinity.

May 7, 1767]; (2) June 30, 1768, Hannah, dau. of Henry Bacheller [b. 1729; d. Aug. 16, 1805]. He was in the contest of Apr. 19, 1775, and was captured by the British, but was later ex- changed for a captured lieutenant. He did further service in Massachusetts troops. Res. in Lynn. Children :

He seems to have lived upon his father's farm, and to have succeeded him in its ownership. Apparently he was in service during the greater part of the Revolutionary war, although it is difficult to certainly distinguish in the records between his service and that of his cousin bearing the same name.

She was the last member of the family here recorded as resident in town, and the date borne upon the marble stone marking her grave is separated by more than fifty years from the date upon the latest of the long line of olden slate stones in the South graveyard at the end of which it stands.
