Matthew ALLEN
1675 -1. Matthew ALLEN was born Between 20 Nov 1673 and 1675, Portsmouth, RI. Notes:
The transcription of the Portsmouth records, an online version of James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI, has Matthew's birth year as 1675. So, without having seen the original, I would say it is either 1673 or 1675, since the numbers could have been difficult to decipher.
There's a will for a Matthew Allen of North Kingstown, dated Apr 1759, proved 11 Feb 1760. I don't know if it's for this particular Matthew or not -- probably not.Matthew married Phebe Unknown 2 May 1700, Portsmouth, RI. Phebe was born 3 Sep 1677, Portsmouth, RI. [Group Sheet]
