Allen Breed (Allin Breade) was born in Westoning, Bedfordshire, England. The exact date of his birth is not known. The volume of the parish register containing the baptisms between 1596-1652 has been lost and while the Bishop's Transcripts fill in a majority of the missing records, there is a gap between 16 Feb 1595 and 31 Mar 1601.
When William Pratchett (Prechat) of Flitwick passed away in 1613, he left "To my godson Allen Breade house wherein I now dwell when 24 years of age." Allen might have waited until he received this inheritance before he married in 1622. If he did, that would suggest a birth about 1598. In the article "The Breed Family: Descendants of Allen Breed (or Bread)" of Lynn by Marcia Wiswall Lindberg, she mentions that "he was born, probably… in 1599." In June of 1671, Allen made a deposition to the court which stated his age as 70 years old which would suggest a birth about 1601. Since no records exist, all we can say for certain is that he was born sometime between 1598-1601.
Many published genealogies of the Breed Family list Allen's arrival to the colonies in 1630 and state that he came with the Winthrop fleet, however this has not been adequately documented. The first mention of Allen's arrival appears in 1872 with Deacon J.C. Breed's "Proceedings of the First Convention of the BREED Family of the United States of America (descendants of Allen Breed of Lynn, MA)" which was recounted by J. Howard Breed in "A Record of the Descendants of Allen Bread who Came to America from England in 1630" published in 1892. It was mentioned by Henry Breed in his 1888 book, "Genealogy of the Breed Family", and also by Julia Beebe Coates in "Principal Facts of Interest Concerning the Breed Family in America" published in 1900. The Breed Family Association reprinted an article from the "Essex Antiquarian" compiled by Sidney Perley in 1907 titled "Breed Genealogy" that also includes a 1630 arrival. With the genealogies from the late 19th and early 20th centuries mentioning his arrival, it would stand to reason that one of Allen's descendants had joined the Winthrop Society, a membership organization consisting of descendants of the first settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Unfortunately, no descendants of Allen can be counted as members.
Allen's daughter, Elizabeth was baptized in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, England on
On March 13th, 1638 the General Court of the Colony granted a distribution of land in what is known as the Six Mile Land Grant. During this distribution, Allen received 200 acres. This area is called Breed's End today.
Allen was a settler, or undertaker, in the settlement of Southampton, Long Island in June 1640. He didn't sign his name, but rather made his mark, in two places on the Disposal of Vessel, "an agreement made between eight settlers from Lynn, Massachusetts and Daniel How, the Captain of a ship who agreed to transport them and their families to Long Island." Allen's name appears on the deed of December 13th, 1640 which would indicate that he was physically present in Southampton but he did not sign the document.
Allen Bread and Elizabeth Wheeler were married on November 14, 1622 in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, England. Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Wheeler, was baptized on July 18, 1602. The date of her death is not known.
Allen Bread and Elizabeth Knight were married on March 28, 1656 in Lynn. Elizabeth's estimated birth year is about 1609, based on her age of 26 years old at the time she immigrated to the colonies with her first husband. Elizabeth married William Ballard as her first husband, then she married William Knight before marrying Allen Bread as her third husband. Her maiden name has never been discovered. Allen and Elizabeth had no children.

Many published genealogies of the Breed Family list Allen's arrival to the colonies in 1630 and state that he came with the Winthrop fleet, however this has not been adequately documented.

Unfortunately, no descendants of Allen can be counted as members.
Allen's daughter, Elizabeth was baptized in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, England on
On March 13th, 1638 the General Court of the Colony granted a distribution of land in what is known as the Six Mile Land Grant. During this distribution, Allen received 200 acres. This area is called Breed's End today.
Allen was a settler, or undertaker, in the settlement of Southampton, Long Island in June 1640. He didn't sign his name, but rather made his mark, in two places on the Disposal of Vessel, "an agreement made between eight settlers from Lynn, Massachusetts and Daniel How, the Captain of a ship who agreed to transport them and their families to Long Island." Allen's name appears on the deed of December 13th, 1640 which would indicate that he was physically present in Southampton but he did not sign the document.
Allen Bread and Elizabeth Wheeler were married on November 14, 1622 in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, England. Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Wheeler, was baptized on July 18, 1602. The date of her death is not known.
Allen Bread and Elizabeth Knight were married on March 28, 1656 in Lynn.
