    Thomas & Alice had 10 children, some of whom died young. They are listed in "The Tillinghasts in America, the First Four Generations" by Wayne G. Tillinghast, p 369 (pub RI Genealogical Society, 2006).

    Thomas was in the shipping trade and had a sloop named Albany.

    Note from Edward Harold Allen:
    "I would like to ask some of these living Allens in Quidnessett, RI, if they know about the problems of Thomas Allen, husband of Alice Tillinghast, who died in 1826 in Albany, NY. This Thomas Allen d 1826 was a failure as a husband and also a farmer. His father gave him the huge farm and he failed. So he went into the freight business with his sloop out of Allen's Harbor, in what is now Davisville, RI. He transported freight from RI to New Haven, New York City, and Albany. On one of these trips, he died in Albany, NY. His body was brought back to RI for burial in the Allen Cemetery on his farm in Quidnessett, RI. I have seen his gravestone. This Allen Cemetery is overgrown and the 1938 hurricane knocked over most of the gravestones.

    "This Thomas Allen d 1826 took up with another woman [Honor Tourjee] and his wife, Alice Tillinghast, was not pleased. She divorced him with the help of George Tillinghast, a relative. This divorce went down in 1818. The splitting up of the farm was a mess. But Thomas Allen got one half of the farmhouse and he was living there in the 1820 federal census. Please let me know if any living Allens related to William Allen of Portsmouth, Prudence Island, and Barrington know about this situation or have heard about it. It must have been a big deal in the Allen and Tillinghast families of that time."
