Marriage: (1) By about 1617 _______ .

On 27 July 1670, Gideon Allen was granted administration on the estate of "John Collins last of Boston deceased". (John K. Allen noted the marriage in London on 5 November 1624 of "George Allen of London, clothworker, and Katherin Startkes of Woking," Surrey, and noted that this was a good chronological fit for the New England couple. Since George was very likely from Somerset, and is not known to have been in London, this suggestion seems unlikey, but, pending further research, not impossible.)
