Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: the printed citation is 'Probate Office 8, 13', not 'Probate Office 8, 10' (that reference is the faint show-through from a different will). The will is dated 8 March 1744/5 and proved 17 October 1749; it is a printed transcription, not the manuscript. Whether these are our people: Confirmed that the testator is the tree's Francis Allen of Kittery and that his daughter Lydia Allen is the tree's Lydia Allen (born 12 July 1717 at Kittery): the names of the wife, sons and daughters and the 1749 probate agree with the tree.
