Per A History and Genealological Record of the Alling/Allens of New Haven (provided in June, 2002, by Aaron Allen): Roger was the first of his line in New England, was one of the earliest settlers of New Haven and was conspicuous in the political and religious history of the colony. He was admitted to the church in 1641, admitted member of Court in 1641, and was a recorded "planter" in 1643 with an estate of £40. In March, 1648, he was allotted pew "50" in "meeting house".
November 5th, (164_), Roger Alling and his man were fined twenty shillings for negligence in "the watch" when an alarm was given, which money was used by the Military Co. to buy powder to improve themselves in shooting at a mark.
Roger's father, James, died in 1657 and Roger returned to England to receive his patrimoney and that of his sister Joan Allen Doolittle.
Per unknown sources: Roger's home lot in New Haven was at what is now the corner of Church and George Sts. He was Sergeant of the first military company of New Haven.

Now the only differences That I have are that he lists all the dates on the children as christening dates and I have them as birth dates. We need to do some research to see which they are. Along with my records you can find more information at www.familysearch.com. I'll will wait now to hear from you on what other information that you need. I still have more. Keep up the good work and keep me posted. A.Harris
