ALLBEE The surname Allbee is variously spelled in the early records Albee, Albye, Alber, Aby, Abie and Abee. The family is of English
origin.
(I) Benjamin Allbee, the immigrant, was born in England and came to this country as early as 1639, when he was living in Boston. In the
following year he was in Braintree, formerly Mount Wollaston, Boston. He was admitted a freeman of the colony, May 18, 1642. In 1649 he
removed to Medfield and was one of the first selectmen of that town. He was also measurer of land, sealer of weights and measures, and in 1659 commissioner. His first lot of land in Medfield was near Brastow's Bridge, but it is not known whether he built his house
there. Afterward he bought land of Thomas Grubb, about 1659, and this lot was at the corner of what is now Main and Bridge streets. He sold his property in Braintree in 1657, and was in Medfield in 1660. He was granted a house lot in Mendon, Massachusetts, in 1660, and in 1662 was a petitioner for the new town of Sherborn. Benjamin Albee was one of the constituent members of the Baptist church at Swansea in 1663, probably this man, as some of the members of that church lived as far as Mendon and Bellingham. Benjamin was living in Mendon in 1669. The history of Milford states that he became interested in the Quinshepaug Plantation (Mendon) in 1664. He made an agreement to erect and maintain a cornmill on Mill river, at what is now Gaskill's Mills. He built a dam and started his mill, the first work of the kind, in what is now Milford, Massachusetts, and came, according to Sallou, to live there in 1664 or 1665. He lived on the south side of the road near what has been lately called the Willis Gould place. He received a bounty of fifty acres of land for establishing the mill. This land was east of the river and south of the road. The formal record of his mill grant was not made until 1672, however. He was a prominent citizen and held various town offices. He had to abandon his home during King Philip's war in 1675, and never returned there. His last years were spent at Medfield, and his Mendon property was inherited by his son James. He married Hannah (???). Children: James, married at Medfield, October 18, 1671, Hannah Cook, and many of their descendants have lived in Mendon and Milford; Hannah, baptized August 16, 1641, married Samuel Wight; Lydia, born April 14, 1642, at Braintree, married Alexander Lovell; John, mentioned below; Benjamin, born about 1652; Sarah, 1653, in Medfield.
