Questionable Children

John Allen and John Alyn AKA Allen, which appear to be duplicates, are indicated as the son of Thomas Allen of Bedfordshire, England. There is no evidence of any kind that supports this relationship. A death record is given for John Allen Alyn-3 however, it does not reveal a relationship to any other persons. The record indicates a burial date of 21 Sep 1570 at St. Botolph Aldgate, London, England. It is uncertain that this is a record for the same John Allen. ^[6] There is an unsourced Geni.com pedigree sheet that gives John Tege Alyn (b 1520) as a son of Thomas Allen (1500 - 1583) ^[7]
