Jonathan Allen was of Manchester. Given the many, many Pierce families early of Manchester [and Beverly or Marblehead], I am hoping to learn if there is any historical evidence that his wife, Mary Pierce, was the daughter by that name born to Daniel Pierce Jr. (1638-1704) of Newbury and his wife, Elizabeth Milward.--GeneJ

Edited to add. Jonathan and Mary had 12 children--there is not a Daniel or Elizabeth among them.

Without naming them, Raymond Frederick Allen reported Jonathan and Mary were the parents of twelve (12) children.

See Raymond Frederick Allen, The Allens; from William Allen (1602-1679) of Manchester, England, and of Salem and Manchester, Massachusetts ... (Walton, N. Y.: Printed by the Reporter Co., 1958), 20-23 (Samuel Allen, b. 1632); digital images, Hathi Trust.

Since he was born and died at Manchester, suspect those children were born there.

He left a will, which might call out his surviving children. See Jonathan Allen 1768 probate, case #457 (4 pp.), Essex County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1638-1881; database and digital images by subscription, AmericanAncestors.

Edited to add: Is there a source supporting the FindAGrave notion that he was buried in the Old Burial Ground at Manchester? There is no tombstone image. Do actual cemetery records exist, or was an early record made of the stones?

I can't find any record that would imply that Jonathan had the title of Captain. His probate record refers to Jonathan as "Husbandman", but no reference to Captain. I have attached the Probate document cite in the sources section.
