The Connecticut magazine: an illustrated monthly, Volume 8: While most of the English wills were proved and recorded in the counties where the testators lived many wills of the better class of people were proved in London and recorded at Somerset House. There Mr Waters found the wills of Richard Allen proved 1652 and of his son Richard Allyn proved 1662. Richard Allen also Allin and Allyn the elder was married first at Braunton County Devon in 1583, and I have searched seven parish registers in that vicinity and found hundreds of official records of Aliens, Allins, Allyns, Wyatts, Rices and Tomlins.
