Joseph is the eldest half-brother of Timothy Allen interred in Mansfield, Conn. Both were grandsons of Deacon Samuel Allen, Jr. and Sarah Partridge of Bridgewater, Mass.
Timothy was the son of their father's first wife Rebecca Cary, and Joseph by their father's second wife Mary, whose maiden name was NOT Alden, and NOT the granddau. of John Alden and Priscilla Mullens, as speculatively claimed by Mitchell in the History of Bridgewater, Mass. then repeated as speculation in the 1867 Alden Memorial.
On Apr. 29, 1729 in Norwich, Conn., Joseph was married by Rev. Salmon Treat of Preston, Conn. to Rebecca Fuller, his 3rd cousin, dau. of Sgt. Samuel Fuller and Elizabeth Thacher, b. July 22, 1701 in Mansfield, Conn. She d. in Windham, Conn. May 18, 1778, Æ 77. Through their mother, all of the children of Joseph Allen and Rebecca Fuller (Sgt. Samuel,4 Lieut. Samuel,3 Dr. Matthew,2 Edward,1) are descendants of Mayflower passenger Edward Fuller.
Joseph and Rebecca had the following children, the first two b. of record at Norwich, the rest of record at Windham, Conn., with the four youngest children bapt. of record by Rev. Ebenezer Devotion at the Scotland Society (Windham) Church. At an unknown date Joseph and wife Rebecca joined Windham's Third Church Society's (the Scotland Church) dissenting Brunswick Separatist Church (1746-1846):

They had at least two children. By his first wife, Thankful Gates, Nathaniel had eight children; by the early 1800s five of the sons (four by Thankful and one by Jemima) settled in Middletown, Vermont.

Timothy Allen, Jr., son of Mary's father's half-brother Timothy Allen. Frank Bowditch Dexter's biography of Rev. Timothy Allen, Jr. of the Yale Class of 1734 is flawed; Dexter did not understand that Rev. Allen m. as his second wife, the widow Dorothy (Gallup) Read of Norwich in Ashford, Conn. Jan. 6, 1761. Dorothy was still the wife of Rev. Allen when she d. Sept. 3, 1804 in Chesterfield, Mass. Rather, Mary m.

His gravestone understates his actual date of death by one full year while claiming he was the first person buried at the Old Scotland Cemetery. However, at least one person with a standing gravestone at the same cemetery was buried there nearly a year before Samuel was born (i.e., Peter Robinson, the father-in-law of Samuel's maternal aunt, Ruth (Fuller) Robinson.)
