Allen; and Capt. John Allen, fa- 
miliarly called “Bos’n John,’ and 
the grandfather of the present Cap- 
tain John. “Bos’n John” built the 
brick house on Washington street 
in which his grandson now lives. 
Azariah was one of a family of nine 
supposed to have been born in this 
old house. 
Jacob lived in the house nearest 
the woods in the northeastern part 
of the village and but lately torn 
down. He was the son of Jona- 
than, one of twelve children, and a 
man of considerable dignity and 
force. Acting as a sergeant in the 
French war, his military tendencies 
led him with his son Isaac to the 
battle of Bunker Hill and many of 
.the later engagements. For forty 
years he pitched the tune in the old 
meeting house on the landing, Sab- 
bath days, without pay. He was 
the father of seven children, the 
youngest of whom was Nathan A\I- 
len, Deacon in the Orthodox church 
for 35 years. A daughter, Bethiah, 
became the wife of Aaron Lee, for 
many years clerk of the town. Dea- 
con Nathan lived in the house his 
father lived and died in, and was 
the father of ten children, one of 
-whom, John Perry Allen, was for 
many years a prominent man of af- 
fairs in the town, and an extensive 
manutacturer of furniture. 
Isaac was an older son of Jacob 
and lived in a house near Nathan’s 
on land now belonging to the Coun- 
ty club. He is said to have been a 
man of great physical strength. The 
story is told that he was able to 
seize a horse by the mane while on 
the run and throw himself upon his 
back. He reared a family of nine 
children but none of his children 
are now living in Manchester. The 
Galloupes and others in Beverly are 
descendants. 
Governor Allen owned and occu- 
pied the house with the _ sloping 
roof recently torn down by Philip 
Dexter, who is the present owner 
of Governor Allen’s land. Included 
in the land owned by Governor Al- 
len are Governors Pond and Govy- 
ernor’s pond and Governor’s hill. 
His homestead was noted in his 
day and later as having a ponderous 
and somewhat ornate gate at the 
entrance to his front yard. This Al- 
len does not appear to have left any 
family who remained in town. Fam- 
ily tradition has it that he was a 
man of considerable pretension, as- 
suming a leadership in affairs which 
his contemporaries did not always 
recognize, and it is generally un-

derstood that the title “Governor” 
was given him for this reason. This 
house was among the oldest in 
town, and not unlikely was built 
by Jonathan Allen, grandson of 
William. The estate passed from 
the name of Allen for several years 
and was owned by the Lees, until 
about 1820, when it was purchased 
by Nathan Allen, Jr., son of Deacon 
Nathan. 
Malachi Allen was the son of 
Malachi and a nephew of Jacob 
above. He was known as “Skipper 
Malachi” and lived in the house 
which stood on the site now occu- 
pied by the house formerly owned 
by Wm. H. Allen, and now owned 
by the County club. This house 
was a large one for those days, with 
a gable roof in front sloping back 
to within a few feet of the ground. 
It was a very old house with a great 
chimney a large square room in 
front and a long, narrow one in the 
rear. The writer well remembers 
the large white floors, neatly sand- 
ed; the hemlock brooms; the great 
fire place with its crane and hooks, 
and the mammoth oven from which 
he received many a savory dish. It 
was taken down in 1846 or 1847. 
It is reasonable to suppose that 
all the houses mentioned were built
