Edward Allen, Jr., married, 24 November 1683, Mercy Painter. Sheldon, in History of Deerfield, Massachusetts, says that "her mother was a Lamberton of New Haven."

Thompson, the artist and genealogist, of New Haven, and who has made a special study of West Haven families, -- the Painter family in particular, -- have established the descent of Mrs. Mercy (Painter) Allen through Thomas Painter1, Shubael Painter,2 Mercy Painter,3.
