2. Richard Allyn was born about 1560; died before 5 Aug 1651; was buried on 5 Aug 1651 in Braunton, Devon, England. Other Events and Attributes:
- Alternate birth: 1564
Notes:
He is possibly the Richard Allyn baptized in Braunton on 15 Mar 1564, who may have been the son of Matthew Allyn who was buried in Braunton 7 Feb 1565. Many online sites show this Richard's father as this Matthew, and assign a "Katherine" as the wife of Matthew and the mother of Richard. Douglas Richardson's 1981 article "Allyn and Wyatt Families of Braunton, Devon" (citation details below) is often cited as a source for these assertions. But nothing in that article actually asserts any of those relationships. Richardson's article simply presents some Braunton parish records of people named Allyn and Wyatt. It doesn't make any argument as to the specific parentage of Richard Allyn, father-in-law of gateway ancestor Margaret Wyatt (1595-1675).
Richard married Margaret Wyatt on 24 Sep 1583 in Braunton, Devon, England. Margaret died before 10 May 1642 in Braunton, Devon, England; was buried on 10 May 1642 in Braunton, Devon, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
