He held the office of magistrate until his death. But to write in full his biography would be, in fact, to write a large part of the civil and ecclesiastical history of his time, for his name appears in connection with much of it. He was secretary of the colony many years, and one of the commission for military affairs in 1634. He joined with Endicott, Dudley, and others, in 1649, in the asso- ciation against wearing long hair. son, Thomas. His wife, Anne, was living in 1651, as she, this year,... deeded land with him. She died soon after, and Mr. Allen married, for his second wife, the widow of Robert Sedgwick ; they had no children. Harvard had a large property for those days, in this town, — one half of which fell, probably, to his widow.

Thomas Allen was also a large land owner, having, among other proper- ty, five hundred acres granted to him, "in regard to Mr. Harvard's gift." Among the sales of property is one, in 1659, of a partof the estate on which " his mansion house " stood.
