General Notes: Husband - John Allen
Children born at Durham.
John2 ALLEN, born say 1685, died before 10 August 1749. He married about 1716, Mary3 BURNHAM, daughter of Samuel2 (Robert1) and Mary (---) Burnham of Durham, N.H. She was born ca. 1689 and died before 10 July 1777. John's birth year is arrived at by the fact that he was "not of age" in 1705, and therefore less that 21. However, his mother has a known birth date of 6 September 1640 [Hampton, N.H., VRs, I:555], so he can't be born much later than her being 45 years old. Likewise, Mary's birth year is derived from the average of her age at marriage (say 22) and her being 45 at the birth of her last child in 1729. The dates of her children's baptisms are from the Rev. Hugh Adams' records in Durham, N.H. reprinted in the New England Historical & Genealogical Register.
John lived in Durham from ca. 1717 to 1734 when he moved to Rochester. He was dead by the time of a deed dated 10 August 1749, where Stephen Berrey, Junr and Mary Berrey, the wife of Stephen Berrey Junr of Rochester yeoman for the sum of 25 pounds paid by our brother William Allen of the abovesaid town, yeoman, quit claim all right to the sixth part of one hundred acres of land in Rochester aforesaid it being the estate of our father John Allen deceased which he died seized of Intestate. [Strafford County Deeds 3:15]. This deed was recorded on 10 July 1777, some 28 years later. I hypothesize that the length of time was because Mary (Burnham) Allen was still alive. She doesn't relinquish her dower rights on the 1749 deed which notes that there are six children of John2. She probably lives with one of the them and then after her death, the deeds can be filed.
John and Mary (Burham) Allen had: William, Bridget, Nathan, Mary, Abigail, and Martha. Their daughter Mary was baptized on 9 September 1724. Her age at death was 92 years, 5 months, and 10 days on 22 July 1816 [New Durham Town Records (new p. 419, old p. 70) as reprinted New Hampshire Genealogical Record 11 (1994):170], giving her a birth date of 12 February 1724. It is likely that date is off somewhat and that she was born more towards late August, early September of 1724. She married Stephen4 (Stephen3 William2-1) BERRY. (M Hollick)
John, son of Charles, moved to the Dover area where he appears in land records beginning about 1720. He married Mary Burnham, and their children were baptized beginning in 1717 at the Oyster River parish in Durham. By 1741 when a deed identifies him as "son of Charles Allen, formerly of Greenland, deceased", he was of Rochester. He was a carpenter. - Elaine Morris

Baptism from Greenland Church records.
Seems to be called John Jr. in most records, as the suffix Jr. tended to be fluid, and often depended on who moved in and out of town, or even who was recording deeds or town records. In Greenland, the elder John Allen was the cousin (son of Daniel) of John Allen Jr. When the Daniel Allen family group (including the elder John) left town about 1750, the Jr. was dropped for John, (son of Jude). It reappears about 1762, when his son John comes of age, and acquires the designation to differentiate him from his father.

John Mark Moses, Early Settlers of Epsom "In 1751 the Allen family came to Epsom, John and Jude." Jude arrives by deed 1779, though perhaps earlier.
The next two deeds could be this John Allen, but possibly his son John. It is possible John Allen and Mary (Fox) lived in Epsom for a time and raised their children there. Son Reuben went to Gilmanton, and is probably the connection to his brother John meeting Betty Hoitt of Gilmanton and marrying in Epsom, 1772.

Children and some adults baptized at Greenland:
1741 John son of John Allen Junr.
Note of Elaine Morris (2012) I believe it was Jonathan, son of John Jr (Jude, Charles), who had the guardian problems. It looks to me like Jonathan Jr was the one who married Keziah Hammond.
I'm not sure exactly when Jonathan (John Jr, Jude, Charles) was born, but we know he was not of age in 1746 when Jonathan Weeks (his great uncle) wrote his will, vol 33, p 400. His parents (John Jr & Elizabeth Cate) were m in 1738. We know from Deborah Locke Allen's will that Jonathan was John Jr's eldest son. He starts being named in deeds in 1764, so I put his birth as sometime between late 1739 and 1743. It couldn't be much later, as his son Jonathan Allen Jr took his portion of his father's estate in Sep 1781. Should we assume Jonathan Jr was 'of age'? If so, then he was born about 1760, which would push his father's birth to the earliest possible date - about 1739.
Jonathan married 'Betty' before 15 Jun 1767, and that was the earliest date he was recorded as a grantor in Rockingham. He was mentioned as grandson in the will of Tucker Cate, NH State & Provincial papers: vol 36, p 84.
