| 1805 | FROM LOCH LOMOND'S BANKS CAME MILLERS OF NOVA SCOTIA - by Maud Newcomb The first MILLER to come to Nova Scotia was John, who came in 1769. The Millers were Scots and lived in the district around Loch Lomond. In the 17th century they were deprived of their lands and scattered to other countries. One branch went to the north of Ireland and from there one son came to the United States. He was making a success of things, so wrote to his brother John to join him. The ship on which John sailed went aground on Sable Island. It was bound for Philadelphia. The ship 'Hope', bound for Halifax, picked up the crew and passengers and took them to Halifax. The first HUNTER and the first ALLISON arrived in Halifax with John. John remained in Nova Scotia instead of going on to the States, and bought the land in Hants County that became known as Miller's Creek. | MILLER, John (I2198)

| 1840 | George Allen, a yeoman farmer from Somerset, England was "the first to New England and ancestor to all the Allens of Sandwich, Old Dartmouth, and New Bedford, Massachusetts who later migrated inland to northern New York State." With his wife Catherine, sons William, George, and Matthew, and servant Edward Poole, George sailed "from Weymouth, England on 20 Mar 1635 with Rev. Joseph Hull and his flock of 100 souls" when the early Puritans were leaving the motherland by the thousands with their very lives endangered by the persecutions of Archbishop Laud in the reign of Charles I. They landed at Boston, Mass. 6 May 1635 after a 48-day voyage. The Rev. Hull and his followers were reputedly Anabaptists, a much reviled early Protestant sect which strenuously objected to infant baptism and advocated civil and political equality at a date when "Protestant" really meant "Pro-Testant" and "Pro-Tester" though our use of the word is so casual that we have all but forgotten its original meaning. Rev. Hull and his flock, including the Allens, first settled at Lynn, Massachusetts but in 1637, George Allen with Edmund Freeman and seven or eight others joined in buying the Township of Sandwich on the North shore of Cape Cod, then an undisturbed wilderness inhabited only by friendly Indians. George’s name is on the first list of church members there (1638) and in 1639 he was elected "Constable, a very important office, representing the entire civil authority for the orderly proceedings of the Township." In 1640-42, he was Deputy to the General Court at Plymouth and in 1641 was one of a committee to divide the land among the settlers and given 6 1/2 acres for this task. In 1646 he built his home about 1/4 mile from the Quaker Friends Meeting House on the main road down the Cape - a home which was still standing 236 years later in 1882, when it was taken down. The name of George Allen’s first wife who died in England is unknown but his second wife was a woman named Catherine Starke who at George's death in 1648 married a John Collins. By the two wives there were 10 sons, some of whom had come to New England and were living around Boston before their father landed in America. George died at Sandwich, Mass. on 2 May 1648 aged 80 years, leaving a curious will which names five sons and leaves bequests to five others, presumably younger sons because he lists them as "least" and there is no mention of daughters although there were several. To his wife Catherine, his will specifies "the house and household staff, an old cow, a certain parcel of land, but if she remarries these are to be disposed of and the proceeds given to the five least children." She remarried becoming Mrs. John Collins so "the five least" children undoubtedly got the proceeds. The order of the ages of his children are uncertain and there may have been more sons and surely some daughters.The following was taken from "Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts" Volume I, by J.H. Beers & Company, Chicago, 1912, pages 350-: Although George Allen, the immigrant, was never a resident of Old Dartmouth, yet as the ancestor of those who were actual settlers here he is of great interest to us, and the records are fortunately sufficiently complete to enable us to outline a fairly complete account of his connection with the early days of the settlements grouped about Buzzard’s Bay. George Allen was undoubtedly a yeoman farmer, living in the County of Somerset, England, when the Rev. Joseph Hull collected his little company together to Emigrate to America. He was probably not a member of the gentry, as the Heraldic Visitation of Somerset, England shortly before his emigration does not include his name, and therefore neither he nor his descendants were qualified to bear a coat of arms. He joined the party of Joseph Hull and sailed from Weymouth March 20, 1635, arriving at Boston May 6 and remaining there until July, when the General Court granted the permission to settle at Weymouth. He may have been at Lynn, Mass. during the wait, as a George Allen is recorded there about this time. His presence in Weymouth, however, is plainly recorded, with others of the Hull company, in the list of proprietors of land in that town. In the list made not later than 1644 land is described as of George Allen and also land of Ralph Allen, who although not coming in the same ship, was in all probability his son. But although George Allen plainly held land in Weymouth, he did not remain there long, for in 1637 he is recorded in Sandwich, Mass. Although not one of Edmund Freeman’s company to whom the grant of Sandwich was made, he appears among the members of the first church in 1638, and in 1639 was constable. In 1640-41-42 he was deputy to the General Court at Plymouth, and in 1641 was one of the committee to divide lands in Sandwich, and was granted six and one half acres. In 1646 he built a house in Sandwich about a quarter mile from the Quaker meeting house on the main road to the Cape (Cape Cod), which stood until about 1882, when it was taken down. He died in 1648, and was buried on May 2nd of that year. We do not know his age, but he is often referred to as aged, and his name does not appear in 1643 in the list of those between sixteen and sixty able to bear arms, so at that time he was more than sixty years old. He is said to have been an Anabaptist before leaving England. His will, which was made in 1648, was probated August 7, 1649, and made his wife Catherine executrix and named Ralph Allen and Richard Bourne as overseers. In his will he gives "unto all my children twelve pence apiece." To his Matthew he gives one calf and five shillings; to his wife the old cow and also the house and household stuff for life, but if she remarries they are to be disposed of and divided to the five least children. To the five least children he leaves one cow each. To his son William he leaves a meadow, and to his sons Henry and Samuel the rest of the meadow. The adventure in Barque "Heave" he leaves to his wife and the five least children. His wife Catherine was married again to John Collins, and appears to have gone to Boston, as in 1655 Henry and Samuel Allen of Boston "deed to George Allen of Sandwich a parcel of land in Sandwich which came to them from their father, George Allen, with consent of their mother, Catherine Collins, who has rights therein." We do not know the names of all of George's children, but some we can identify as follows: George, Ralph, Samuel, William, Matthew, Henry, Francis, James, and Gideon. In all probability the last two belong to the "five least" children mentioned in the will and were the children of Catherine, and it is possible that Francis, who is not mentioned in the will, was also a child of Catherine. The others were undoubtedly children of a first wife, whose name is unknown. Of children, Ralph and Samuel seem to have come over at an earlier date, and Ralph we find in Weymouth, and a Samuel who is said to have been in Braintree before 1635, when he was admitted a freeman, is said to have been in 1620 of Bridgewater in Somersetshire, England, and is undoubtedly of this family. After the death of George Allen, the family began to scatter. Ralph, George, William, Matthew, and Francis remained in Sandwich; Henry and Gideon moved to Connecticut; James went to Martha's Vineyard; and Samuel was in Braintree. Torrey’s "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" states on page 10 that George Allen died in 1648 at the age of 70, not 80 as the above sources indicate. [STACYN.GED] | Source (S290)

He was ordained by the Church of Scotland in 1773 and preached in Voluntown, Connecticut, until 1775 when he was forced by the local rebels to stop preaching because of his Loyalist sentiments. He farmed to support his family and moved several times before being forced to flee to Quebec. In 1785 he and his family, who had joined him at Sorel, Quebec, moved to Windsor, Nova Scotia, where he served Presbyterian congregations at Windsor and at Newport until1791 when he moved to Horton. With this appointment he assumed responsibility for the Church at Grand Pré , and here he was buried when he died at the age of 91 years on 20 September 1811. | GILLMORE, George (I3550)

There was anciently a chapel here. High-Dinsdale, or Over-Dinsdale, is beautifully situated on the southern bank of the river, nearly opposite to Low-Dinsdale. It was for some time the seat of a separate branch of the Conyers. The Girlingtons also held lands here. It is now the property of the Wards of Hurworth. ----------------- Hurworth was the lordship of the Tailboys from an early date, and, on the grant of Sadberge to the bishop, was held of the see by the twentieth part of a knight's fee and suit once in three weeks at the court of Sadberge. Robert Lord Tailbois died without issue in 1540; and his sister, Elizabeth, with her husband,Thomas Wimbysh, of Kyme, in Lincolnshire, Esq., granted the manor and advowson of Hurworth to Sir Leonard Beckwith, of Selby, co. York, Knt., for ,f 266t His son and heir, Roger Beckwith, of Selby, Esq., conveyed the same, for £ 330, to Henry Lawson, of Nesham, Esq., and George Ward, Gent.

(fn. 105) This moiety, which consisted of 10 oxgangs, descended in January 1607-8, after the death of George Ward, to his son John, then aged fifty, in accordance with a settlement made in 1579 on the occasion of the son's marriage with Joan Charnley.
