In 1897 Francis Olcott Allen published certain extracts of the parish records of Braunton, Devon, England, pertaining to the immediate family of Matthew Allyn of Hartford, Connecticut and Thomas Allen of Barnstable, Massachusetts (see NEHGR 51:212-214). Allen supposed on the good authority of the then Vicar of Braunton, the Rev. E. R. Gatte, that the entries as published were all the Allen entries in the parish records of Braunton for the period, 1580-1630. Recently, however, I had occasion to examine the parish records of Braunton for myself and several omissions in the published extracts were discovered. In all one marriage and six christening records for the surname Allen were overlooked by Mr. Gatte, and one christening date was incorrectly stated. In addition no allowance was made for the ecclesiastical or Julian calendar (in operation prior to 1752) which treated the months of January, February and most of March as the last portion of the calendar year.

    In order to correct that which has already crept into print, I have prepared a new and expanded set of extracts from the Braunton registers. The extracts are expanded in form so that they include both the Allen and Wyatt surnames, Wyatt being the maiden name of the Allen brothers' mother and Matthew Allyn's wife, as well as some other surnames known to be connected. In addition the extracts cover a much wider period and include burial records, the latter ignored by Mr. Gatte. Though I am not an Allen/Allyn descendant myself, both the editor of TAG and I are related in some way to Matthew Allyn of Hartford, Connecticut through our ancestress, Agnes (-----) (Spencer) Edwards of Hartford, Connecticut (see TAG 42:65-76).
