General Notes: Husband - Edward Allen

---

The Allen family were residents of Deerfield, Massachusetts, before its destruction and the massacre of its inhabitants by the Indians during King Philip's war, and Edward Allen, Jr., was one of the first of the refugees to return after peace was partially established.

He returned to New England and settled with his brother John in Deerfield, at "The Bars" in 1686. He was among the earliest of those who renewed the settlement of Deerfield after the close of King Philip's War. His name is on the proprietors records, as the purchaser of a right, in 1686. The purchase of his older brother, entered as John Allen, Gent., had been made before the war in 1671. The family won a place in local history by the large share it bore in the calamities inflicted on Deerfield in Indian warfare.
