Biography

Andrew Allen Jr was born 9 May 1657, the son of Andrew Allen and Faith Ingalls of Andover, Massachusetts^{[1] [2]}. He was noted in his father's will^{[3] [4]}

On January 1, 1681, he married Elizabeth Richardson, the daughter of James Richardson and Bridget Henchman/Hinksman of Chelmsford, Massachusetts^{[5] [6] [7]}. Their children included^[8]:

1. Elizabeth, born Oct. 1, 1682^[1], who died unmarried May 31, 1750^{[9] [4]}
2. James, born March 2, 1684, who died April 18, 1707^{[9] [4]}
3. Andrew, born Dec. 20, 1685^[1], who married Mary Dane in 1711, and who died in 1749^{[9] [4]}
4. Thomas, born Oct. 17, 1687^[8], who died of smallpox December 18, 1690^{[10] [4]}
5. Sarah, born June 11, 1690^[8], who died unmarried in 1742^[4]

Andrew Allen Jr died in Andover of smallpox, Sept 26, 1690^[10]. This was close to his father's death of smallpox, but the death record does not appear to be a duplicate, as the estate of Andrew Allen Jr was administered March 31, 1691 using a different case # than his father's estate^[11]

His widow Elizabeth (Richardson Allen) died May 2, 1745 in her 79th year^[9]
