, Biography

Allen Bread (the best evidence for the spelling reports it was "Bread" until the 1700's)[1][2][3]

Origin

Allen was baptized 27 January 1630/1 at Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, England,[4] the eldest child of Allen Bread and his first wife, Elizabeth Wheeler (pp 200-201).[5]

Some older publications, by Cutter and the Lynn Historical Society, report a birth date in 1626, but this is in error.[6][5]

Immigration

Marcia Wiswall Linberg, in her comprehensive article about the family, points out that we do not know the date of Allen Bread, Sr.'s immigration, "His name does not appear on any extant passenger list."[5] According to Cutter (and family tradition), Bread immigrated 12 June 1630 to Salem, Massachusetts, as part of Winthrop's Fleet, but neither Anderson, nor the Winthrop Fleet Society, includes him among those passengers.[5]

Essex Antiquarian only says "as early as 1630."[1] . As his son Allen was baptised in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire on 27 Jan 1630/31and his daughter Elizabeth on 26 Dec 1634 an emigration date of Jun 1630 for father and son can't be right.[7] Allen, Sr. first settled at Lynn sometime before 1638, when he participated in the distribution of the "six-mile grant."[5] The portion he received is still known as "Breed's End" (as of 1908).[6]

[Note: the above statements pertain to Allen Bread's father, Allen (b. 1601 at Pulloxhill (Bedfordshire), England. The son Allen Bread immigrated with his father. JRF]

Wife's Maiden Name Confirmed

Allen married c. 1654, probably at Lynn. Initially, her maiden name and parents were unknown.[5]

But in 1993, her maiden name was confirmed, and their 28 March 1656 marriage was found.[8]

In The Mayflower Descendant, an article includes the will of Ruth (Sargent) Winslow Bourne Chipman. Ruth was the daughter of William Sargent and his 3rd wife, Sarah. In her will, written December 6, 1710, Ruth mentioned her "Kinsman Joseph Bread" and the other children of "my sister Bread." Ruth and Mary were half-sisters.[9]

She died "30: 9: 1671," according to Lynn Vital Records.[5]

Occupation

Allen lived on the 230 acres in the western section of Lynn, which he had inherited from his father; he was a farmer and husbandman.[5]

Allen was a freeman in Lynn, Massachusetts, 7 May 1684.[10]

Death and Legacy

Allen died at Lynn sometime between 1704 (will written) and 11 February 1707 (will recorded).[5]

Children

Children of Allen and Mary:[5]

Timothy Bread, eldest b c. 1656; mar 1) Sarah Newhall, 2) Sarah Bran Joseph Bread b 12 Feb 1657; mar Sarah Farrington Allen Bread b 30: 6: 1660; mar Elizabeth Ballard John Bread b 28: 11: 1662; mar Mercy Palmer Mary Bread b 24: 6: c 1664; mar Thomas Lewis Elizabeth Bread, b 1: 9: 1667 (1 Nov 1667), d 16 June 1709; mar as his 1st, Thomas Burrage and he mar as his 2nd, Elizabeth Davis Samuel Bread b 25: 7: 1669; mar Anna Hood NEHGR 3:352 reports that 3 of Allen's sons, Joseph, John, and Allen III, were made freemen on 18 April 1691.

Research Notes

The Register of the Lynn Historical Society published an article in 1906 in which they reported that Allen's second wife, Elizabeth (Unknown) (Ballard) (Knight) Bread, was the mother of all of Allen Bread's children.[11] This cannot be accurate, as Elizabeth was married to William Ballard and having children with him (1633-1636) during the time when Allen Bread's children were born, (and his children were born much before the marriage between Allen and Elizabeth).

[Note: The above passages & statements refer to the father Allen Bread b. 1601 at Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, England, not to his son Allen b. ~1626 also at Pulloxhill, who immigrated with him. Elizabeth Wheeler, the first wife of Allen Bread, likely was the mother of all three of his children: Allen (this profile), Elizabeth, John.[JRF]

The FindaGrave memorial is disputed (as previously discussed in this bio).[12]

Find-A-Grave citation not only unreliable, but erroneous on the "John Breed", son of Allen, cited as having 2 wives; Mary Kirtland was not his wife. Mary Kirtland was the wife of Allen's nephew, also named John, i.e. the paternal first cousin of the John Breed who was buried in Stonington. JRF
