probably in Dagenham,Essex
County, or London,
>England, and came to this country
with Winthrop's fleet
in 1630. The fleet consisted of
eleven vessels:Arabella,
Talbot, Ambrose,
Jewel, Charles, Mayflower (third voyage),
William and
Francis, Hopewell, Whale, Success,
and Trial.
8) In the Winthrop colonists, consisting of 700 immigrants,
three distinct communities
were represented: (1) those
from Dorset and Devon,the Dorchester
men, who first
settled in Boston a number of years
beforeit received that
name; (2) those from Lincolnshire,
properly calledBoston
men, who had
decided
upon the
name of Boston
for the

was no doubtone
of the 39 men on the Mayflower (third
voyage). They first
touched at Salem,
but landed at
Charlton Harbor,
Boston (then called Trimountain), 1July 1630.
10) The Mayflower brought what was called the Braintree
Company,
which included with William Allis [0], Thomas
Graves
and Thomas Meekins, all of whom played
an
important
part in the first generation of our family. Our
ancestor was associated
with Graves from the start, always
lived at the same
place, and the families eventually
inter-
married. They were
both surveyors and laid out the town,
or fort, of Charlestown,
the first regular settlement
of
the
Massachusetts Bay
Colony.
Mount Wollaston
(afterward Braintree) in 1632. That town,
comprising 50 square
miles, was surveyed
and
laid out by
him before 1634,
and during that year, by order of the
General Court,
it was annexed to Boston. Large tracts of
land were granted
to certain inhabitants to settle in Mount
Wollaston and William
Allis [0] received
12 acres on 24
February 1640.On
13 May 1640, the inhabitants of Mount
Wollaston were incorporated
as the town of Braintree and,
with
Dorchester, Dunham,
Hingham, Natasket,and
Roxbury,
were incorporated
to form the city of Boston.
those who were members
of the church were allowed to take
the Freeman's Oath,
which gave them the right to vote and
hold office. Several
historians have
apparently
been misled
by the
records of the Massachusetts Bay Colony into stating
that
the first knowledge of William Allis [0] was on 13 May
1640. The
reason for the
error was that
the official records
of Braintree were
first instituted on that day. He was made
a freeman then because
Braintree was incorporated into the
city of Boston.
13) Owned land in Rhode Island later granted part to Henry
Neale on 24 June1685
14) In Braintree, Benjamin Alby
and wife
Hannah of Medfield

section now Pond St., South
Braintree. (S.D.3:71)In 1657 when
the Alby Farm
was sold
(S.
D. 3:71) it
was said to be"with lands of William Ellis" (Allis)
who
was a brother
in law of Henry Neale
