Here is what I have on Martha Allen. Mariana 1. Andrew ALLEN*, born 1617 in Scotland. He married (1) Faith INGALLS* 28 August 1648 in Lynn Essex MA. She was the daughter of Edmund INGALLS* and Ann _____*. Notes Andrew was a Scot and was so described in contemporaneous Andover records. "Transformations: The Reconstruction of Social Hierarchy in Early Colonial Andover MA" Elinor Abbot dissertation Brandeis Univ. 1989 Clearly he was one of the early settlers. Children of Andrew ALLEN* and Faith INGALLS* are: i. Sarah ALLEN*, born 1646 (Torrey p 385); died 3 April 1716 in Andover Essex MA (Source: Andover 2:470; Torrey p 385); married Samuel HOLT* 1669 in Andover MA (Torrey, Clarence Almon, New England Marriages Before 1700, Genealogical Publishing Co Baltimore 1985, p 385). ii. Hannah ALLEN, born 28 October 1652 in Andover Essex MA (Andover VR 1:36); died 30 September 1698 in Andover Essex MA (Torrey, Clarence Almon, New England Marriages Before 1700, Genealogical Publishing Co Baltimore 1985); married James HOLT 12 October 1675 in Andover Essex MA (Andover VR 2:179). iii. Martha ALLEN, born 1642-1650; died 19 August 1692 in hung Salem Essex MA; married Thomas CARRIER 7 May 1674. iv. Mary ALLEN, married Roger TOOTHAKER/TOOTHACRE. v. Andrew ALLEN, born 9 May 1657 in Andover Essex MA; died 24 October 1690 in Andover Essex MA; married Elizabeth RICHARDSON 1 January 1680/81 in Andover Essex MA. vi. John ALLEN, born 16 March 1661/62 in Andover Essex MA; died 16 November 1690 in Andover Essex MA; married Mercy PETERS 22 May 1686 in Andover Essex MA. 1. Martha ALLEN, born 1642-1650; died 19 August 1692 in hung Salem Essex MA. She was the daughter of 2. Andrew ALLEN* and 3. Faith INGALLS*. She married (1) Thomas CARRIER 7 May 1674. Notes Martha Allen Carrier brought smallpox to Andover in 1690 when she came there to stay with her mother, who was a widow. Martha and her four children, Andrew, Richard, Sarah and Thomas were "unscathed"; I suppose this means they did not contract the disease. The disease invaded nearly every household in Andover and killed 9 people, including both of Martha's brothers, as well as the husband of her sister Hannah [James Holt] and their infant son.
