Narrative
James came to Dedham, MA about 1637. He was a proprieter there in 1642 and took the freeman's oath in 1647. At least 7 children: John, Martha & Mary (twins), Sarah, James, Nathaniel and Joseph. He came to Medfield with the first 13 proprieters and the fifth to be granted land. He drew his house lot of 7 acres on South Street. About 1653 he was granted another 6 acres. It is certain that he was living there in 1660. A copy of his will is printed in the Allen Family book by Frank Hutchinson, dated 23 Sep 1676. He gave his house, barn, etc. to his son-in-law Joseph Clark and his homestead (South Street, he owned 2 places) to his son Nathaniel. James was reportedly the grand son of Reginald Allin.
