Tradition says that Samuel ALLEN and sons, Ebenezer and Job, came from the north of Scotland, where they had been imprisoned for their religious opinions, and first landed at Amboy, N.J. Captain Job always wrote ALLEN, while some one engraved on his tombstone the name ALLIN.
The name has many spellings, and the families quite numerous in Central New Jersey. ALLEN writes me from New Berlin, Fla., that he has failed to make any connections with the Roger ALLING family, of New Haven, Ct., whose descendant, Samuel, came to Newark, N.J., and some of his descendants to Morris county. I have added and corrected a few of the data that have come under my own researches, and from the collector of the Alling-Allen families of Connecticut and from the Allens at Chicago, Ill., and others. The following data given me many years ago by the late James Madison ALLEN at Newark, who had made many researches of the Allen family at Rockaway hold good to-day.
