- SAMUEL ALLEN III was born 4 December 1660, East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, to Samuel Allen II (1632-1703) and Sarah Partridge (1639-1717). He married (1) *Rebecca Cary, 1 December 1685, in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Rebecca was granddaughter of Miles Standish, and daughter of John Cary, who come from England and settled in Duxbury, Massachusetts. He married (2) Mary Pratt (not Alden.) He married (3) Jane Vining, widow of Jacob Turner. [After Rebecca's death, Samuel married Mary Pratt, in Bridgewater. This second wife has sometimes been identified as Mary Alden, but that identification has been rejected. In New England Marriages Prior to 1700, Clarence Almon Torrey identified the second wife as "Mary [Alden?] Pratt? (?1667- ), dau Matthew."[2] The transcribed Records of Brunswick Separate Church of Scotland, Connecticut, where Samuel's son Joseph was active, provide additional evidence that her last name was Pratt in the form of an entry (which could be based on a family bible record) indicating that Samuel Allen married a woman named Pratt as his 2nd wife, and that "by her he had Joseph, Matthew, and Seth." [3] Additionally, the same church records show that Samuel's grandson Asahel Allen named one of his sons "Pratt."[3] Samuel's second wife is likely to have been Mary Pratt, born in Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1667, the daughter of Matthew Pratt and Sarah (Hunt) Pratt of Weymouth. The will of Matthew Pratt, dated 30 June 1711, included a bequest to daughter "Mary Allin,"[4] indicating that his daughter Mary had married a man named Allen. This identification also is consistent with Torrey's indication that Allen's second wife Mary was the daughter of Matthew.]
