     Edward Wallen was born before 1700. He may be the son Rev Edward Wallen of Athlone (1682-1723). He was of Snugborough, Kings, co. at his marriage. He may be the brother of George Wallen, Rector of Devenish, c. Fermanagh, clerk. whose will dated 3 April 1767 mentions his wife Letitia Wallen and nephew George Wallen. He may also be the brother of Thomas Wallen, Gent, whose will dated 26 May 1762 and proved 12 July 1762 mentions his daughters Jane & Elizabeth, son Johnson Wallen, daughter Margaret Wallen otherwise Rourke. He was the son of Patriarch Wallen.
     Edward Wallen married Mary Armstrong, daughter of Andrew Armstrong and Lucy Charnock (Mason), in 1718.
     Edward Wallen lived at Snugborough, Roscrea, circa 1720.
     Edward Wallen lived at Ballycumber, Lemanaghan, Offaly, 1758. In December 1758 Edward Wallen leased property in Cornalare, Offaly.

     His will was proved on 12 December 1777 in the Prerogative Court of Armagh. Edward Wallen, Killena, King's Co., gent.

     Rev Edward Wallen was born circa 1653 in Limerick, Ireland. He was the son of Patriarch Wallen.
     Edward studied at Trinity College, Dublin, on 26 September 1670. He is probably the Edward Wallen who was 17 on entry, born in Limerick, BA 1675, educated by Mr Shaw. Edward was vicar at Athlone, Westmeath/Roscommon, between 1683 and 1723. Edward was Rector at Dysart, Roscommon, Ireland, between 1692 and 1723.
     Edward died in 1723.

     Edward Coburn Wallen was born circa 1848. He was the son of James Smith Wallen and Sarah Coburn.

     Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen was born on 21 December 1770 in Kingston, Jamaica. Information on this branch kindly supplied by Edward Crawford, gg grandson, to whom I am much indebted. He was the son of Matthew Wallen and Sarah Pinnock? Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen was christened on 28 May 1771 in Kingston.
     He served in the 20th Dragoons after 14 December 1792. He was commissioned an Ensign on 14 December 1792, in the 20th Foot. (34) This unit had recently arrived in Jamaica and there is a pitiful correspondence relating to its many officer casualties from disease so that those promoted to fill the vacancies were themselves dead when confirmation of their appointments arrived from London.(35) But there is no mention of Ensign Wallen as the correspondence relating to his appointment must have arrived two or three months before when the document series does not exist. In 1794 he transferred to the 20th (Light) Dragoons as a Lieutenant. (36) This regiment (20th LD) was raised in 1792 for service in the West Indies to be paid for by the Jamaica Assembly and was disbanded in 1818. (37) Its battle honours (not many) are carried by the present day 20th Hussars. It took part in the Maroon War in Jamaica which ended so disgracefully when the Jamaican Assembly violated the surrender terms. He bought his Captaincy at Christmas in 1794, (38) and was a Major in 1800. (39) In 1795 a lodging allowance for 232 days of £12-14-1 was paid to him (40) while in late 1796 Captain EP Wallen claimed money (51s.9d) because his horse had caught glanders and had been shot on his Colonel's order but his claim was later disallowed by the Assembly. (41)
He is wrongly said (42) to be 24 years old on 24 October 1797 but in the returns dated 22 August 1802 (43) when regiment returned to Europe, he is stated to have retired aged 31 with 13 years service so he probably left before the regiment returned to Britain. Officers are listed by country of origin, England, Scotland, Ireland or foreign. In the 1797 return he is stated to be foreign but this must be a clerk's error as he was a colonist and so not among the first three alternatives.44 Stationed in Jamaica many men in the regiment died of disease but Wallen may have been happier with the Jamaican than European climate. (There are letters dealing with the replacement of officer casualties from disease in the 20th LD in Jamaica but no mention of Wallen.) (45) He sold out in January 1803 for £4,250 when the regiment returned to healthier climes.(46) It is odd that there is no reference to him as militia officer or in any civil post in the Jamaica Almanack for 1806, the year of his marriage or later in 1817.
     Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen married Eliza Archange Ford on 3 September 1806 in Spanishtown, Jamaica. In St Catherine's parish churchA son, James Smith Wallen was born in 1807 when she was barely sixteen. After she produced a male heir he presumably left her alone for the next ten years as he had plentiful alternatives in his slave women as the birth dates of their mulatto and quadroon children suggest. Ten years later the boy would be less dependent on his mother and in EP Wallen's will in 1821 made in England says that the lad has for "sometime past" been "given up to the care and protection of my said brother (in-law) and sister" in Jamaica whose estate the boy was to inherit. It is possible therefore that he went to live with his aunt and uncle when he was ten or so when his parents considered leaving Jamaica.
EPW had three children by Eliza, two of them born in Jamaica, though his will of 15 January 1821 mentions only his son James Smith Wallen and his daughter Caroline, his wife then being pregnant with his youngest daughter, Elizabeth Mary Wallen (conceived of course when he had no slave women available) and born in Reading in mid-1821.
     In 1817 Edward Pinnock Wallen owned the estate of Cold Spring, a coffee plantation at a high elevation, which he must have inherited from his father, Matthew. (30) He had at least one legitimate half-brother and one half-sister who achieved adulthood but both were children of Catherine Philips and about twenty years older than him.(31) From his will it appears he had a full sister, Mary Player Wallen,(32) who later married a James Smith but who had no children as their estate was left to EPW's son James Smith Wallen.(33)
EPW is shown as the owner of ten slaves with ten children at Pleasant Prospect in the Parish of St Thomas in the East on 28.6.1817 (47) and in 1821 he was a magistrate in St Thomas in the East. (48)
In the 1820 slave returns, his attorney Charles William Hall deals with matters in his absence. Despite his distinguished father there is no death notice in the Royal Gazette for which the run is complete over 1820-1823.(53) He owned another ten slaves at Cold Spring in St Andrews Parish, where the Pinnocks (to whom he may have been related) owned hundreds and in St Andrews he also held one male slave on behalf of his son as "the natural guardian of Jas S Wallen".54
Mrs Wallen had two young slaves (b.1802 & b.1804) baptised in St Andrews Parish in 1808.(58) She would then have been seventeen. There do not appear to be any baptisms of Wallen slaves before her arrival save two sent for baptism at Vere by her mother-in-law "Mrs Wallen of Kingston" in 1801 (59) and there is no record of any other Wallen slave baptisms before 1814 which has survived in St Andrews, Vere or St Thomas in the East. (60) But whether coffee was still grown at Cold Spring (it was in 1753/4) and whether Pleasant Prospect was simply a residence with house slaves rather than revenue yielding plantations with field hands is not clear. Had any such plantations been sold previously if and when he was in financial difficulties?
The documents also strongly suggest certain unpleasant hypotheses at Pleasant Prospect. Like the generality of field hands in Jamaica most of the house slaves there are not dignified by surnames though in 1823 there is a black man, Charles Wallis, aged 27.62
In 1817 there are the two mulatto daughters of Ann Welsh, who is black and aged 45, and these are Betsy Welsh, aged 30, and Jane Welsh, aged 28. There is a different Ann Welsh, a mulatto, aged 18. The first Welsh sister, Betsy, would have been born when EPW was 17 and her mother was 15. It may be significant that etymologically Wallen is a variant of Welsh from the Germanic for stranger (Walloon, Wallisch, Wallace, Wallis etc). Jane Welsh has two quadroon children Robert Newton (7) and Alexander Levi (3) and Betsy has another quadroon child Betsy Henriques, aged 5 all born in the years when Eliza Wallen had no children. The name of the older black woman, an African, Ann Welsh, suggests she was EPW's acknowledged woman and Betsy and Jane were his daughters. The younger mulatto Ann Welsh could be a successor rather than daughter. The only one of these female slaves and their children that still belonged to him when his goods were inventoried at his death was the older black African Anne Welsh (valued at only £5) so Betsy Welsh, Jane Welsh and their children, who were all mulatto and quadroon, had been sold as the slave register for 1820 shows. They are not in the list of manumissions from 1820-1825.63 In the inventory of his goods drawn up in 1825 all the unsold slaves can be identified with those in the registers except for "Robert alias Robert Wallen son of Eleanor Wallen".
I had an even nastier suspicion about EPW and possible incest. Levi & Henriques are of course Jamaican Jewish names and this might be an anti-Semitic joke unless he was pimping his slave daughters to local moneylenders and his emigration later might suggest that he had relatively little money which his will confirms. His wife may have had to put up with constant reminders about the house of her husband's infidelity. Indeed since even Jamaican slave owners were probably a trifle inhibited about incest such little accidents are more likely when the perpetrator is heavily in drink. Drink might be a further cause for marital unhappiness while the inventory of his household goods in 1825 includes twenty gallons of rum and ten dozen bottles of Madeira. It of course might also be true that such women as Eliza Wallen were happy that they did not suffer constant pregnancies because there were alternatives available to their husbands. All this might contribute to the fact that we have heard no stories - affectionate or otherwise - about the Wallen side which came down through Caroline from her mother - no memories (however false) of laughing happy slaves on the plantation in the style of Gone With The Wind - instead there is a total caesura, no memories of any kind. For Eliza Wallen, married at fifteen to a man more than twenty years older than her, Pleasant Prospect may have been hell on earth which she did not talk about to her daughters. The slaves too are mute. The content of the above paragraph is almost entirely hypothesis.
What this family history may reveal as an example of a more general phenomenon is that the Wallens, who had once been very rich indeed, were gradually falling in the social scale towards a rather impoverished gentility. From about 1800 to 1831 the prices of Jamaica's staple agricultural exports fell catastrophically, particularly after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and many landowners had over-mortgaged their property thinking that these conditions were only temporary.81 However the family may have lost much money before that since, according to Brathwaite, EPW's uncle Thomas had fallen on relatively hard times in the 1790s. The collapse of prices and thus property values after 1815 and EPW's removal to England in 1818-1819 may be no coincidence. Emancipation in 1834 finally destroyed what was left of the planter class but long before then the Wallens had fled Jamaica and lived in moderately prosperous circumstances in Canada and very modestly in England. Caroline Fanny Crawford (née Wallen) died in Devon on 2 June 1880 aged 62 leaving an estate of less than £4,000. Her husband, the Reverend Henry Crawford, (1814-1863) had predeceased her but immediately after his death she collapsed with a bad nervous breakdown82 being made a Ward in Chancery while her youngest children were brought up by relatives and she did not live to see any of her grandchildren.
Edward Pinnock Wallen's grandchildren included a governess, a music teacher, a clerk at the Admiralty and the wife of a very poor clergyman while the very youngest, a teacher, who had been only 3 when her mother broke down, though having been at Newnham College, Cambridge for a year, died aged 43 in a lunatic asylum in Yorkshire. Three of Caroline's seven children married, one daughter marrying a professional engineer from the west country Jacob family, but the only one, Henry Leighton Crawford CMG (1856-1931), to achieve any distinction, and that as an eminent member of the Ceylon Colonial Service, was our grandfather and he too is the only one with any surviving descendants today. None of her nine great grandchildren had any idea that they had Jamaican planter ancestors until my research in late 1995 revealed it.
     Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen lived at Canada.      
Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen emigrated from Jamaica circa 1820 to England.
     Edward died before 4 March 1822 in H Laurences, West Street, Reading, Berkshire, England. In the returns of 28.6.1823 (50) the slaves are held by an attorney in trust for his widow, Elizabeth Archange Wallen.(51).
When he died an inventory of his goods in Jamaica totalled £1,763 18s 4d and, of this, the value of his 24 slaves was £1,455.55. Slaves were transferred from St Thomas to St Andrews after his death and some were sold but by 1828 there were no slaves owned by a Wallen there.(56) In 1826 there was but one slave at Pleasant Prospect, presumably a caretaker (57). He was buried on 4 March 1822 in St Mary's, Reading.
     His will was proved on 26 September 1822 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. His will states that "I consider therefore that my said son would on no account desire to lessen the small fortune which his mother and her other child or children by me may respectively derive from me all the rest residue and remainder of my estate real and personal". All his money, which brought in £100 a year from the funds, eventually went to Caroline after the death of her mother and sister and this amounted to a modest middle class income.
His will makes no provision for his son who, being brought up by his sister, Mary Player Smith and his brother-in law James Smith, expects to inherit their estate.

     Eleanora Gregory Wallen was born on 31 October 1749. She was the daughter of Matthew Wallen and Catherine Phillips.
     Eleonora Gregory Wallen however reached adulthood and was 21 years older than EPW. She is shown by the Burke's Peerage entry on Lord Kilmaine as marrying Henry Browne details of whose will appear in Chancery Lane for 1791. This mentions Browne's three children, John, George and Julia, all minors, but not his wife while the executor for his estate (worth £30,000 in the UK alone so there may have been other property in Jamaica) was his elder brother, the first Lord Kilmaine. This would suggest that Eleonora Gregory Browne died shortly before him as no other wife is mentioned and if the children were young he would surely have married again. A massive Browne family tree, done in 1863, states that Henry was drowned in a shipwreck returning home. His eldest son John marrying a Mary Anne Meredith, whose father, of Broad Heath, Radnor, was a major in the 72nd Foot of Ireland 1798 had two sons, the eldest Henry (1823 - after 1901, before 1906) a vicar of Eastham, Tenbury, Herefordshire100 and the younger a barrister, George Browne who first appears in the Law List for 1852, was called to the bar 4.5.1849 at the Inner Temple, practised in Oxford, Staffordshire and later Hereford, and was Recorder of Ludlow 1873-1880. An unnamed younger son of the Henry who was drowned had two unnamed sons.
     Eleanora Gregory Wallen married Henry Browne.
     Eleanora died before 1791.

     Elias Wallen was the son of Thomas Wallen.
     Elias Wallen married Mary Kirby before 18 December 1798.
     Elias died in May 1805.

     Thomas Wallen, brother of Matthew, had at least two legitimate daughters who had descendants. The eldest, by his second wife Elizabeth Patterson was Elizabeth Paterson or Patterson Wallen, born in 1756, her mother dying in the same year. She married James Stevens and in turn had a daughter Anne presumably her only surviving child since she inherited the estate of Camerton Court near Bath. She married a Herbert Norton Jarret. Both Stevens and Jarrett were from Jamaica. Anne had four children, John (b.4.7.1802), Stephen died (12.10.1855) unmarried, Anne who married141 the Rev. William Gooch, the younger son of a baronet, and Mary who died young. John had two daughters, Anna Mary (1836-1893) & Emily Elizabeth (d.1911) who both died unmarried.142 One son of Anne's, Major George Cecil Gooch143 had a daughter, Amabel Mildred Anne, (my father's 5th cousin) who inherited Camerton Court in 1911 dying just afterwards and who had previously married Beauchamp Urquhart Colclough (1867-1949).144 They had a son, my sixth cousin, Henry Reginald Gambier Colclough (1905-1949) who in turn married and had one daughter, Penelope who married an Anthony Lucas. William Gooch had at least one other daughter who may have had descendants too..
     Elizabeth Wallen married James Stevens. He was described as esquire.. Elizabeth Wallen was born in 1756. She was the daughter of Thomas Wallen and Elizabeth Patterson.

     Elizabeth Wallen was born before 1754 in Jamaica. She was the daughter of Matthew Wallen and Catherine Phillips.
     Elizabeth died on 21 November 1754 in St Andrew's, Jamaica.

     Elizabeth Wallen was the daughter of Thomas Wallen.

     Elizabeth Mary Wallen was christened on 15 July 1821 in Reading, Berkshire, England. She was the daughter of Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen and Eliza Archange Ford.
     Elizabeth died of consumption on 21 July 1837 in Exeter, Devon, aged 16. She was buried on 23 July 1837 in St Leonard's, Exeter.

     Ethelere Wallen (O'Brien) was born circa 1845. She was the daughter of James Smith Wallen and Sarah Coburn.
     She married J S O'Brien of California.
     Ethelere died on 9 November 1906.

     Frances Maria Wallen was known as Fanny. She was born circa 1757. She was the daughter of Thomas Wallen and Frances Unknown (Ramage).
     Frances Maria Wallen married Thomas Drought, son of Thomas Drought and Caroline Armstrong, on 28 June 1777. Thomas Drought, the younger, esq., of Droughtville, Kings County, to Miss Wallen, daughter of Thomas Wallen of PortmanSquare, London, Esq.

     Francis Hobson Wallen was born in 1846 in Londonderry, Ireland. He was the second son of Francis Robertson Wallen. He was the son of Francis Robertson Wallen.
     Francis died in July 1900 in Narong St, Caulield, Victoria.

Francis Robertson Wallen emigrated in November 1852 per "Gt Britain".
     Francis died on 7 October 1886 in Hawthorn, Victoria, aged 95. DEATH. WALLEN.- Francis Robertson Wallen, born at Letterkenny, county Donegal, Ireland, 6th May, 1791, resident in Trinidad, British West Indies, from 1815 until 1833 ; subsequently in Philadelphia, USA, in Londonderry, in Liverpool, and since 1852 in Melbourne, Victoria. Died at Hawthorn on 7th October, 1886.

     Frederick Wallen was christened in 1848 in Londonderry, Ireland. Parentage not given in free index. He was the son of Francis Robertson Wallen.

     George Wallen was born in 1728?. He was the son of Edward Wallen and Mary Armstrong.
     George died. Burke states that he died in 1752 in Jamaica, however he was mentioned in his father's will of Dec 1777. I think this is confused with George Augustus the son of Matthew who died in Jamaica in 1750.

     Rev George Wallen was born in 1704 in Athlone, Westmeath/Roscommon, Ireland. He was the son of Rev Edward Wallen.
     George studied at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, on 16 November 1720. He was aged 16 on entry, son of Edward, clericus; born Athlone. BA 1725, MA 1733. George was a Church of Ireland clergyman from 1752. George Wallen, Prebendary 1752, Devenish 1766, son of Rev Edward Wallen, vicar of Athlone 1682-1723 and born in Athlone, educated there by Mr Burnett.
     Letitia Armstrong married secondly Rev George Wallen circa 4 September 1753 in St Peter, Dublin. By licence.
     Rev George Wallen made a will dated 3 April 1767 in Devenish, Fermanagh. George Wallen, Rector of Devenish, c. Fermanagh, clerk, mentions his wife Letitia Wallen and nephew George Wallen.
     George died in May 1767 in Monaghan, Ireland.
     His will was proved on 16 March 1778 in the Prerogative Court of Armagh.

     George Augustus Wallen was born on 14 December 1750 in St Andrew's, Jamaica. He was the son of Matthew Wallen and Catherine Phillips.

     James McHenry Wallen was born circa 1850 in Ireland. He was the son of Francis Robertson Wallen.
     James died in 1937 in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia.

     James Smith Wallen was christened on 23 October 1807 in Vere, Jamaica. He was the son of Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen and Eliza Archange Ford. James was a doctor in Ontario, Canada, from 1829. Edward Crawford, wrote: Like his uncle John Weller Wallen, he was educated at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, (1824-1828) (69) apparently as an Arts graduate, became an MRCS in 1829 (70) and afterwards went to Paris University, where he graduated. He went out to Canada to fight the cholera epidemic in 1834 and was appointed surgeon for government service in the rebellion of 1837 returning to Jamaica to settle his affairs there in 1838-9 after the death of his aunt. He first settled at Ancaster in the county of Wentworth, but removed to Morpeth, 1844 and afterwards at Ridgetown in the county of Kent, Wardville in Middlesex, and finally at Chatham in Kent, all these places being in Ontario.71 He is also said to have lived first in St Catharines Ontario and had a great reputation as an excellent family doctor and is described as "independently wealthy".(72).
     Edward Crawford states: According to a letter undated but in early 1841, Henry Crawford writes `She tells me that an Aunt died a few years ago in Jamaica leaving a very handsome property to her only brother (in Canada) and a legacy of a £1,000 with a handsome service of plate to herself. Her brother laid claim to this money and plate, and in all half of the money has been expended in various costs but the rest still remains as she believes her undisputed property but objections are raised ...... & I believe she does not expect to be any richer for it ....... her brother has not written to her since putting in his claim to the legacy & I should fear from what she says that long absence has in great measure alienated his affections from her.' Her statement may be unfair or incorrect but if believed would account the lack of contact since. It must have been her grandmother who was responsible for letting him have all her husband's Canadian property. What little her father possessed, amounting to £2-3,000 in funds, had gone to Caroline via her mother and sister.
We do not yet know whether the two girls had children or if the eldest boy was ever married but as Sarah Caborn's obituary does not mention any grandchildren it seems very unlikely that she has descendants by her other son and only daughter. We may have cousins from Mary Morris née Wallen whose mother was a Teeple.
     James Smith Wallen married Mary Teeple before 1842. They had a daughter Mary b.1842 (76) who married an American, Capt. Harvey Morris, a lumber merchant of St Regis Falls,(77) New York State.
     James Smith Wallen married Sarah Coburn in 1845 in Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Canada.
     James died on 19 January 1863 in Chatham, Kent, ONT, CAN, aged 55.

     He was a musician and is, with his widowed sister, buried in the family grave in Chatham, Ontario.. James Smith Wallen was born on 29 July 1856. He was the son of James Smith Wallen and Sarah Coburn.
     James died on 18 December 1926 in Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Canada, aged 70.

     Jane Wallen was born. She may be the Jane Wallen who married Ralp Steel on 17 December 1764 at St Mark's, Dublin. She was the daughter of Thomas Wallen.

     There was an older brother in 1751, so John Weller Wallen could not have been more than nine in 1760 as a Captain's servant on Marlborough. Perhaps he was even younger though the ship, commanded by a Captain Weller who was clearly a relation, was in Port-Royal harbour all the time he was on board or claimed to be on board.88 Having examined the relevant Ships Logs it appears that all the ships on which he served were not merely on the West Indies station but were based at Port-Royal, Jamaica, save for the Bulldog in which he came to England in 1786 and which is not mentioned in the list. Except for a few weeks these ships were always in port. All his very few voyages were pleasant Caribbean cruises off present day Haiti, Tortuga and Cap Tiburon, presumably on the look out for prizes which they managed to do a few times. His service record looks like a monstrous piece of eighteenth century jobbery when the West Indian `interest' was at its zenith.
