  • Name Jonathan Allen 
    Prefix Adjt. 
    Birth Abt 1750  [9] 
    • Based on probable age at marriage. My guess is he was born no later than 1756. When I consider the baptism dates of his siblings, it doesn't appear that there weren't any long delays in baptizing after births. So if he was born between 1750 and 1756, he should have been, at the very least, baptized with Mehitable, John or Joseph. With Joseph baptized in 1759, it would mean he would be born no earlier than September 1759. It's certainly possible that he could father a child at age 17, I'm not sure he probable did though. I suppose that he could have, in his haste to go to war, fathered a child with Margaret, gone off to fight and returned to marry her. There is a gap of about 6 years between the first and second children. At this point, I'm not entirely convinced that this Jonathan is the same Jonathan, son of Robert & Rebecca (Phippen) Allen.

  • Notes 
    • If this is the same person identified correctly in the SAR application, then he would have had to have been baptized as a young lad. Otherwise, I can't believe he is the son of Robert. He would have been about 13 when married. There is a Jonathan Allen born 1755 in Enfield, Connecticut that some have claimed is this Jonathan. This is incorrect. Jonathan of Enfield remained in Enfield, where he died in 1803. In Mass. Soldiers & Sailors there are 2 Jonathan Allens that may be the same person - the 1st & 3rd in volume 1, p. 168. The 3rd is definitely this Jonathan, the first may be his earlier service.

      I haven't been able to identify another Jonathan that fits.
