THOMAS ALLIN
Son of Matthew and Ruth Allin, b. April 15, 1742. He entered public life early, and was elected first to the General Assembly in the year 1767, at the age of twenty-five. He was honored by re-election to the same office in 1772-6, 1781, 1791-8. He was a member of the town militia prior to the Revolution.
Gen. Allin was a leader in civil affairs as well as military, and his pen was as active as his sword in defense of human rights. Was a member of the Convention to adopt the Federal Constitution.
The residence he built and occupied before 1800, still stands at Drownville. His wife, Amy (BICKNELL) Allin, was as true a patiot as her husband, and conducted the affairs of the household and farm, with a large family of boys and girls to care for, during her husband's absence, with a prudent judgment, and success that entitled her to honorable mention among the mothers of the Revolution. In a letter to her husband, Aug. 19, 1778, Mrs. Allin writes:
"I hope you will put your trust in God and not in man, for it is He alone that is able to keep and preserve you from all harm, and to cover your head in the day of battle."
General Allin died May 30, 1800, and was buried at Drownville, in the Allin Burial Lot, on the ancestral farm. He ranks first among the Revolutionary heroes of Barrington.
