NLPeche@aol.com shared via email 27 March 1999: History of New London Co.unty, CT with Biographical Sketches of many of it's Pioneers and Prominent Men. Co.mpiled under the Supervision of D. Hamilton Hurd. Philadephia: J. W. Lewis & Co.. 1882, Press of J.B. Lippincott & Co.., Philadelphia. Page 761, 762.
ROBERT ALLYN was of Salem in 1637, and enrolled as a member of the church May 15, 1642. He removed to New London in 1651, where he obtained a grant of a large farm on the east side of the river, at a place still known as ALLYN POINT, but now in the town of LEDYARD. He was one of the first company of purchasers of NORWICH, and resided for several years in the western part of the town plot. In 1661 he styles himself of "New Norridge," and held the office of constable in 1669, but in a deed of 1681 uses the formula, "I, ROBERT ALLYN, of NEW LONDON." Among the early settlers of the country we often meet with persons whom it is
difficult to locate. They possess lands that lap over the bounds of adjoining settlements, and sometimes appear to belong to different townships at one and the same time. ROBERT ALLYN had doubtless reliquished his house in NORWICH to his son JOHN and retired to his farm on the river in 1655, within the bounds of NEW LONDON, where he d. in 1683. His age is unknown, but he was freed from training in 1669, probably upon attaining the age of 60, the customary limit of military service; this would make him about seventy-five at death. The heirs of his estate were his son JOHN and four daughters, -- SARAH, wife of GEORGE GEER;
Mary, wife of Thomas Parke; Hannah, wife of Thomas Rose; and Deborah, who afterwards m. John Gager, Jr. The son received L 133, and each of the daughters L 66 6s.
JOHN ALLYN, the son, m. Dec. 24, 1668, "Elizabeth daughter of John Gager, of New Norwich". In 1609 he exchanged his homestead and other priviledges in Norwich which Joshua Abell and Simon Huntingdon, Jr. for lands east of the river, and transferred his residence to the former seat of the family at ALLYN'S POINT. This brought him again within the bounds of New London, and his name appears in 1704 as one of the patentees of that town. He d. in 1709, leaving an estate of L1278, to be divided between his son ROBERT and his daugher ELIZABETH, wife of THOMAS WATERMAN. His inventory enumerates three farms and a trading establishment upon the river. Among the movables are such articles of cost and comfort as a silver tankard, cup, and tumbler, a silver whistle, a gold ring, a rought cushion, and a lignum-vitae mortar and pestle. This was about the period when such small luxuries were beginning to be diffused among the prosperous farmers and traders.
With ROBERT ALLYN of the third generation the male line was still a unit. He m. DEBORAH AVERY, and d. in 1730, leaving nine children.
ROBERT ALLYN of the fourth generation occupied the same homestead at ALLYN'S POINT, and dying in 1760, left an estate of more than L3000. His inventory of wearing apparel comprised of a blue coat with brass buttons, silk jacket and breeches, laced jacket, boots and spurs, gold sleeve-buttons and ring, silver snuff-box, silver buckles for shoes, knees and neckbands. These successive inventories vividly illustrate the advance of the country in wealth, comfort, and elegance.
ALLYN'S POINT, where stood the old homestead of the family, is about six miles below Norwich, on the opposite side of the river from Mohegan fields. The ancient fort of Uncas was in full view from the house. South of the pond and cove is a conspicous eleveation known as ALLYN'S MOUNTAIN, from whence the prospect is wide and far-reaching. To this height the neighbors were accustomed to resort as a lookout post when the river was visited by any unusual craft, or the Indians on the other side were gathered for council or sport. From this place, on the memorable 6th September, 1781, the conflagration of New London
witnessed by women and children whose husbands and fathers had hastened to the scene of action. In the war of 1812 the three blockaded vessels forming the squadron of Co.mmodore Decatur were laid up in the river near by, and on this hill his men threw up a redoubt and kept a sentry to watch the movements in and near New London Harbor. The children of ROBERT ALLYN [12] and Abigail AVERY were

CHARLES LYMAN [40]
JOHN OWEN [41]
SELDEN [42]

LORENZO [46]
LYMAN ALLYN, [47] son of FREEMAN ALLYN and Irene Beckwith, was b. in the town of Montville, New London Co., CT, April 25, 1797. His father was a practical farmer, leaving Montville, CT for Springfield, MA, in 1803, when young LYMAN was six years of age. His grandfather, NATHAN ALLYN, went to Granby, OH, in 1805, and continued to reside there until his death. LYMAN ALLYN remained at home, working on his father's farm summers and attending the common school winters til he was twenty-one years of age, when he commenced the whaling business for one Capt. Deshon, as a common sailor before the mast. His quick insight into the business soon earned him a reputation, as it was not long beofre he was made captain of a whaling ship owned by Messrs. N. & W. W. Billings, of New London, CT. Capt. ALLYN continued in the business til 1852, when he gave it up. In 1850 he purchased the Deshon Farm, where he continued to reside til his death, April 8, 1874. In politics he was a Jacksonian Democrat. He took a lively interest in political matters, and during the war was a very efficient in helping to raise troops for the Union army. He m. EMMA, daughter of Capt. JOHN TURNER and MARY NEWSON, June 5, 1825. MRS. ALLYN was b. in New London, CT Aug. 31, 1804, and d. Feb. 4, 1881. Their children are: MARY T. who d. at nearly 4 years of age; MARY T. [2], m. HARVEY SEYMOUR, deceased, of Hartford, CT; EMMA A., deceased; CHARLOTTE C.; JOHN T. and HARRIET W., all of whom were b. in New London, CT.
We insert the following written at the time of Capt. ALLYN'S death:
"In the death of the late CAPT. LYMAN ALLYN our community mourns the loss of one of it's oldest and most prominent citizens. For more than fifty years he had been a resident of New London, though during the earlier part of his life most of his time was spent on the ocean in that business for which New London was then celebrated, the whale-fishery.

Burke's "Dormant...Peerages" (London, 1883), reports "The families of Dunbar now existing are derived from Sir Alex Dunbar, of Westfield, Sheriff of Moray, which estate he got from his sister, the heir to her father James Dunbar, 5th Earl of Moray, grandson of John I, Earl thereof. The two eldest of Sir Alexander's six sons m. Anne-Eupheme and Margaret, the two eldest daus. and co-heirs of Patrick Dunbar, of Mochrum, and founded the long lines of Westfield and Mochrum; many other Dunbars trace to the other sons of the founder, Sir Alexander of Westfield."
