fascinating stuff! I had a similar story of some events involving Roussel ancestors but can't remember where I put the folder.

Anyway, you mentioned some E. Bridgewater Allens and that has me wondering if they might be related in any way to Allens in my own background.

This is the story of Sarah Allen, captured at the Deerfield (MA) Massacre and brought to Canada, where she was baptized with a French name and lived as a French Canadian woman for the rest of her life.

Her Grandfather, Edward Allen, came to Ipswich from his native Scotland.

Anyway, she married Guillaume Lalonde and their daughter, Marie, married one of my Roussel ancestors (Pierre) so that is how I'm related to the Allens.

Do you know if your E. Bridgewater Allens are related to my Ipswich Allens?
