Ebenezer ALLEN [1] |
- In a deed dated May 7, 1738, Edward and Ann Allen gave their son, Ebenezer, one-half their dwelling house, barn, and other buildings, with the half of the house lot on which they lived, also so much right in the commons as would keep 59 1/2 sheep, with the house lot meadow, also a fourth part of the stock and other property. (See Nantucket Book of Deeds, vol. 4, p.178)
The tradition is preserved in the family that Edmund Heath, the father of Ebenezer's wife, belonged to a title and wealthy family in England, and being the youngest, was sent to this country in charge of Capt. Richard Coffin; in the same vessel was Catherine Sylvan, a pretty French girl whom the captain had found in France, and hired as a servant. The acquaintance thus formed on shipboard between the young people ripened into love and in due time after landing at Nantucket they were married. Many years afterward a letter was received by the family asking for heirs to the Heath estate in England, but the matter was never followed up, so the family never profited by the information, and doubtless lost a large property.
