William Allen appears in Salisbury, MA in 1639. He participated in the first division of Salisbury land in 1639 when the town was called Colchester, and in that of 1640 when it became Salisbury. He was a house carpenter by trade and because he consistently signed documents with his mark, it would seem that he could not write. He participated when the town divided the mowing of beach lots in 1654 and in 1657 he bought lot No. 35 of Mr. Hall's farm, which Hall had sold to the town, for £1: 18: 2. His name appears on several church lists and petitions. He also bought and sold several small planting lots, ox commons, etc., between 1650 and 1667. He was sworn constable of Salisbury on 9 April 1650 and was on the Grand Jury in the Salisbury Court of 2 December 1666.

In 1677 he was in court twice: one on July 5 he complained that Sarah Taylor, his servant, had departed in a disorderly way, accusing his wife of beating her cruelly. The court ordered Sarah's mother to place her in some godly family and in the meantime Sarah was "to refrain from the company of Goodwife Houldredge and Sarah Buswell." In October Allen and his son, Jeremy, then aged 19, were sued by Joseph Greely to recover a horse which Jeremy had taken without Greeley's knowledge. Greeley won the case and Allen was ordered to return the horse within one month, if it was sound and well. If it was not, Greeley was to recover £5 in corn or neat cattle.

WILLIAM, Newbury, nam. by Coffin as of Salem 1638, but no support can be found for any other, so early, than him who had then occup. there for twelve yrs. and prob. he is more correct in placing him at Salisbury from 1639 to 50 ; m.

In Salisbury he is commonly nam. with prefix of respect, as Mr. and he d. 18 June 1686. His will, of 16 Sept. 1674, with codic. 7 Nov. 1676, names w. Ann, wh. d. end of May 1678, s.

Notes:

When John Goodale made his will in 1625 his son Richard was presumably not in England as his father did not kow whether or not he was living and all the other legatees being named with care, he did not know the names of Richard's two children.
Richard was back in Yarmouth in 1637 when he and his stepmother were defendants in a Chancery suit.
By 1638 Richard Goodale had settled in Newbury where the Abraham Toppans were living and where Mrs. Elizabeth Goodale arrived, so far as we know, at about the same time. Presumably they came together. He brought with him his wife Dorothy and two children, who, judging from evidence had been born before 1625.
Soon after his arrival Richard must have moved across the Merrimac river to the new town first called Colchester and later Salisbury where he was an original grantee and commoner and the recipient of further grants in 1639, 1643, and 1654. He is called planter and turner. He was a member of the Norfolk grand jury in 1652 and 1654. Tradition says that he was a great hunter. He had an Irish servant, Cornelius Conner.
Richard's will was proved on 9 October 1666. All his goods, housings, lands, orchards, pastures, meadow, either marsh or upland, plow land and any other land and cattle he left to be equally divided between his son Richard Goodell and his daughter Allen, with some exceptions. To his granddaughter Hubberd, a cow named Primrose. To Cornelius Conner, formerly his servant, all his wearing apparel, both linen and woolen. Executor: his son Richard. Overseers: loving brethren (in the church sense) Edward French, John Wheelright, Joseph Stower.
From the inventory it appears that Goodale had let his house to Joseph Lancaster and gone to live with his daughter Ann Allen. There was due to her husband, William Allen, payment for "diet and attendance", at 10s. a week from the 3rd of May to the 16th of September 1666. Also there was an uncertain amount due to the estate from the lessee of "the barq." With the aid of the overseers the property was divided between Richard Goodale the younger and William Allen on 4 December 1666.

Although it has not been fully proved, he may have been the s/o Thomas Goodale, "the elder" and a nephew of Richard Goodale, a tallow chandler of Downham Market who made his will on 12 July 1587.
