1722. Ham Loomis
Ham was selectman in 1803, for Westfield.
Her name is given as Elizabeth Allen, the dau. of "Moses Allen." Her descendants are unable to find anything about Moses Allen's ancestors, but they find a well-supported tradition that "Moses Allen" was not Moses Allen, but one Robert McCollach, who served in the army from Jan. 2, 1778, to Mch. 14, 1783, as appears upon the muster rolls of the Continental Line, in Col. Jackson's and Col. Brooks's Regts., as having engaged for the town of Weymouth. Another reference credits him as belonging to Boston and having enlisted for the town of Stoughton. See Vol. 10, of the official publication of "Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution." It also appears that at the close of the war, that Regt. of the army of which the said Robert was a member was encamped near Westfield, Mass., and that Robert had a six months' leave of absence, and as the war was practically over, he never reported back for final discharge, and that he changed his name from Robert McCollach to "Moses Allen," fearing that if caught he would be punished for disobeying the order to return. These facts justify us in declaring that the name of "Moses Allen" was assumed, that his right name was Robert McCollach and that he enlisted in the army in 1777 from the town of Weymouth, Mass.
