of his grandparents, parents, his own brothers and sisters, &c. - could have answered in five minutes-without (one would suppose) any very alarming expenditure of thought, time, or effort. But indifference reigned supremeand if in the following pages, which present all that authentic written records, correspondence and unwearied personal effort could gather, these persons shall find serious gaps, and faults of omission, they may thank themselves! I speak thus plainly because I am very well aware that these very persons will be foremost and severest in their criticisms of this my "labor of love." Another class, however- -an almost infinitesimal minority-have treated the matter quite differently. They have furnished me every facility; have answered my letters fully and promptly; have confided to me valuable and treasured documents; have stirred up their friends and relatives to do likewise in short, have manifested a lively rational interest in their own ancestry, and an appreciation of my labors for the gratification of that interest. They have my most heartfelt thanks, and in these printed pages, methinks they will have a still greater reward, in the greater fullness of detail which their family records present. For, in a work of this kind, the value and interest of a genealogy must necessarily depend to a large degree upon the labor and assistance bestowed upon it by individual members of the family. They alone can give those little touches and incidents, which clothe and beautify the otherwise dry skeleton of dates. Except in these cases, the genealogies which are here present must be considered merely as approximations to, or material for genealogies. The immense amount of debris—the membra disjecta-the odds and ends which could not be fitted in to their appropriate niches, have been preserved under the head of Miscellaneous. There they will by the kindly agencies of types-be preserved, until the right time, when the right hand shall fit them each to their right place. It is believed that the forms of arrangement employed, are so simple and plain, as to need no elaborate explanation. - I might also add, that every genealogy has passed under my own eyehas been carefully collated with my large store of information and manuscripts, has been arranged and rearranged, and is now presented to the public, with a reasonable confidence that it will be found correct and trustworthy.

The ALLEN, from Enfield, who settled in East Windsor, and two families of ALLYN, one of Scotch and the other of English extraction. Owing to the peculiar disregard of orthographical correctness displayed by town clerks, and grave-stone cutters, as well as individuals themselves, it has become a difficult and almost impossible task, in many cases, to distinguish to which family an individual belonged. This consideration will sufficiently account for any errors which may hereafter be detected in the arrangement of this genealogy. ALLEN (Allin, Alling- also Allyn).
