Biography

Margrett Wyatt, daughter of Mr. John Wyatt & Mris. ffrauncis uxr, was baptized 8 March 1594/5, at Braunton, Devon, England. [1]

Mris. Margret Wyot married Mathew Allin 2 Feb 1626/7 in Braunton. [1][2]

About 1633, Margret and her husband, Mathew, and at least two of their children, Mary and John, left the parish of Braunton and made the two month voyage from England to New England. They settled first at Cambridge. A third child was born about 1633, but it is unknown exactly when and where he was born.

Sometime in the next five years, the family made the overland trek to Hartford, Connecticut, where Matthew was one of the founders. Approximately ten years later, they moved to Windsor, Connecticut, about 9 miles north of Hartford. Margaret was a member of the Church at Windsor, and probably in Cambridge and Hartford as well. Admitted 5 Aug 1649, she was referred to as old Mrs. Allyn. [3]

Despite being called old in 1649, she lived another 26 years. Mrs. Allyn died 12 Sept. 1675, in Windsor.[4]

  1. Mary Allin, bp Braunton, Devonshire, 20 Jan 1627/8[1]; m Windsor 11 Jun 1646 Benjamin Newberry, son of Thomas Newberry of Dorchester and Windsor.[4]

Note

Mrs. Allyn is known to have royal descent. She is included in a list of 100 or so early settlers with "RD." For the descent of Mrs. Margaret Wyatt Allyn from Henry I, King of England (d. 1135), see Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal descents of 500 immigrants [Baltimore: Genealogical, 1993], p. 396.

Have any descendants of hers taken a DNA test? I SUSPECT that my ancestor was related to her, but I've yet to prove it.

I'll guess that the "questionable" tag for Margaret at the MC Base Camp comes from that there were two different Margaret Wyatts, who married father-and-son Allens, and that has confused people in the past. See this website for an explanation: http://www.genealogy.com/forum/general/topics/medieval/2496/
