Nathan was born Jan. 5, 1740 to Robert and Abigail (Avery) Allyn. He married Sarah Freeman, born Feb. 7, 1740, daughter of Ebenezer Freeman. Various genealogical records indicate Sarah died in Groton, Ct., on April 6, 1790, although I have not seen a primary source listed for verification.

Served as a Seaman aboard the Privateer Brigantine Marquis de La Fayette, under Captain Elisha Hinman. Date of entry Feb. 27, 1782; discharged Aug. 13, 1783. According to the log books, their first voyage was to the West Indies; the second voyage was to Virginia, "thence to Amersterdam," on Feb. 11, 1783. Prizes captured were the Brigantines Phoenix and Dispatch, and the sloop British Grenadier. ^1

"...[Nathan] was a soldier in the revolutionary war. In 1805, he removed to Granville, Ohio, where he continued until his death. Their children were Mary, married George Avery Freeman, mentioned below; Nathan died in Ohio; Sarah died young; Abigail, married Roger Bush; Sarah, married Joseph Kenyon, and they were the grandparents of ex-Governor Cox of Ohio." ^2

"VI) Freeman, son of Nathan and Sarah (Freeman) Allyn was born June 6 1768, and married February 20, 1794, Irene Beckwith, born October 10 1771, daughter of Absalom and Lydia (Haynes) Beckwith. Children: Charles, born June 24 1795; Lyman, mentioned below; John, Owen, Seldon, Horace, Harriet, Edwin, and Lorenzo." ^3

Neighbor of George Avery; Surname was spelled Allin in Ohio tax records (possibly because the taxes were often paid by someone else on Nathan Allyn's behalf).
