Benjamin Allen and Mehitable Cary death before 1737

Sadly, the death of Benjamin Allen b. 1702 Bridgewater, MA and presumed death of his wife Mehitable Cary b. 1709 Bridgewater, MA occurred before 1737. A document from the Plymouth County, Seventh Book of Wills and Inventories dated the Fifth day of October 1737 gives guardianship of his four children to two people. Sons Benjamin and Ephraim were given to the guardianship of brother Mathew Allen Jr, and daughters Hannah and Mehitable were given to the guardianship of brother Ephraim Cary. Three children Benjamin, Ephraim, and Hannah Allen were baptized May 9th, 1736 in East Bridgewater MA. Mehitable Allen was baptized February 27th, 1736-7 taken from Vital Records of East Bridgewater Massachusetts to the year 1850 published by NEHGS 1917.
