ROBERT ALLIN left, with two daughters, Mary, who died in 1672, the wife of Rear Admiral Utber, and Alice, of Robert Ashby, esq. an only son,

1. SIR THOMAS ALLIN, knt. b. in 1613, who acquired and left behind the high reputation of a brave and distinguished naval officer. He served under the Commonwealth, and commanded one of the ships in that part of the fleet which revolted to the Prince of Wales. In 1660 he was appointed to the Dover, amongst the earliest vessels commissioned by the Duke of York. In 1663 he was constituted commander-in-chief (as commodore only) of the ships and vessels in the Downs, and invested on that occasion with the singular privilege of bearing at his main-top the Union flag, which he hoisted on board the St. Andrew. The next year he was commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean; and he soon afterwards achieved a victory over the Dutch fleet, for which he received the honour of knighthood, and was promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Blue. In 1666 he was advanced to the White, and again distinguished himself as commander of the Van or White squadron in a decisive action with the French and Dutch allied fleets. In consideration of these and subsequent equally gallant exploits Admiral Allin was created a BARONET, on the 7th July, 1673, and retired then to his seat at Somerleyton, in Suffolk, which estate and manor he had purchased from Thomas Garneys, esq. great grandson of John Wentworth, who acquired them from the Jernynghams of Cossey.

This family, which originally bore the name of L'ISLE, and was seated at Broughton, in the county of Lincoln, is thus spoken of by COLLIER, in his historical dictionary: "Lionel Anderson, esq. lineally descended from the ancient family of the Andersons of Northumberland (as appears by a grant from Clarencieux), afterwards settled in Lincolnshire, from whom this Lionel is in the genealogy the seventeenth. Their first name was (as Sir Richard Anderson, the antiquarian, relates) L'Isle; but marrying an heiress, were obliged to take her name of Anderson. The chief seat of the family is Broughton (now enjoyed by Sir Stephen Anderson, bart.) in Lincolnshire there are likewise three other branches of it, as, Sir Edmund Anderson, in Hertfordshire, Sir Richard, in Buckinghamshire, and Sir John, of Newcastle." This family intermarried with several of the nobility, and a great many of the principal gentry of several counties; as that of Sheffield, Clinton, alias Fines, Sherwood, Butler, Beaumont, Booth, all noble houses, and as for commoners, they are related by marriage to the L'Estranges, Mounsons, Dallisons, Fitzwilliams, Cottons of Huntingdonshire, Constables of Yorkshire, Johnsons of Lancashire, and to several other families of figure and consideration.

Of the family of L'ISLE of Northumberland, was ROBERT L'ISLE, who flourished in the reigns of HENRY IV. and HENRY V. and who, on marrying the heiress of ANDERSON, took the name in place of his own. He was ancestor of
