First Generation
1. He died on 10 Aug 1637 at the age of 76 in Wales, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. 1 Willam's father was probably William Allen [c1527 Brumby, Sheffied - 13 July 1616 Sheffield].
William Allen and Margaret Twigg were married on 1 Jul 1582 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom.1 She died on 11 Oct 1607 at the age of 44 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. 1

Second Generation
2. He died circa 1667 at the age of 77 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. 1 He was buried on 24 Jun 1667 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. 1 Numerous genealogies confuse this William [1590-1667] and his son, William [1640-1685] with William Allen [c1602-1678/9] of Salem and his son William [bp. 31 May 1646]. These are two separate father/son combinations. The Great Migration Begins has a biographical sketch of the William Allen of Salem.
There is a strong possibility that William married twice and that Rosa was his second wife. Several sources suggest his first wife was Helena Horner. Birthdates for Helena range from 21 Jan 1575/6 to 4 Oct 1591. The marriage date is given as 12 October 1618 in Sheffield. If the 1591 birth is correct, then Helena is a viable candidate for the 1st Mrs. Allen. If the 1575/6 date is correct, then the match is extremely unlikely.

Third Generation
3. He was baptized on 19 Aug 1640 in Wales, Yorkshire, England. 3 He died on 2 Jun 1685–20 Jun 1685 at the age of 44 in West Barrington, Rhode Island, British America. 2–4 William Allen, or Allin, was baptized in Wales, Yorkshire, England on 19 August1640, the son of William Allen and Rosa Storke.
There is some speculation that he first went to Barbados, then to Newport, RI. Alllen rented a house from John Paine and eventually built a house near the Homestead Wharf in Portsmouth before moving on to Prudence Island. He and Paine remained close friends.
Allen settled on Prudence Island in the Narragansett Bay, where he established a large stock farm. William ran cattle and sheep, establishing Prudence Island's prosperous sheep industry. Cattle and sheep pens were built from remnants of stone walls left by the Indians. Allen's sheep herd reached 685.
In addition, Allen and his neighbors sold wool, flax, hemp. fruit, produce, grains [primarily corn and rye, for bread and feed] and some tobacco. Pear, plum, peach and apple orchards dotted the countryside.
William Allen was made a freeman in 1669. He served as constable for twelve years. Allen also served as surveyor of cattle for several years and was called upon to sign legal documents.
William married Elizabeth Hill about 1663
William purchased roughly 150 acres from the estate of Captain Willett in Swanzey [now West Barrington, RI] for £55. Allen's holding eventually reached 600 acres.
During Kong Philip's War, Tom, one of Allen's Indian servants, was taken prisoner by a Captain Gorman. Tom's wife followed in a canoe. She tried to free her husband and was also taken captive by Gorman's men. Once Allen realized that the couple was missing, he went to their wigwam and discovered the couple's year-old son. The servants were suspected of being spies for King Philip and never returned to Allen. William took the boy into his own family.
Allen's business dealings required frequent trips to the mainland, so he eventually decided to relocate his house at Potter's Cove to his property in Swanzey. During the winter of 1680, the bay froze over and the enterprising Allen had a large sled built. William and his Indian servants managed to raise the house onto the sled and guide it across the ice. Oxen pulled the sled to Allin's Cove and a quarter mile up and over a hill to its final destination.
William had the house enlarged the following summer using large stones. Barrington's first post office was established in the Allen home.
His will was dated 2 June 1685 and proved 29 June 1685 at Portsmouth, Rhode Island. William named his wife "that is now Elizabeth Allin," eldest son William and daughter Mary Remington executors. William was to receive all lands in Potowomut and East Greenwich at age. 2nd son Thomas was given the house in Swanzey, with the stipulation that his mother continue to live there, as well as half the stock on the property to each of them. Sons John and Matthew were bequeathed a share of the land in Rehoboth and £20, at age. Daughters Mercy and Sarah were to receive £20 each and a feather bed each at age 18. Wife Elizabeth was left household goods and the care of a seven year old Indian boy.
William, Thomas and Matthew were all under 21 at the time of their father's death. Mercy and Sarah were under 18.
