Abiah Allen, the daughter of Francis Allen and Mary Besse, was born on 10 December 1666 at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts). She was later married at Sandwich, in what had then become Barnstable County, Massachusetts, to a man named Zachariah Jenkins on 11 December 1686. Zachariah, who was born at Sandwich during the month of September 1651, was the son of John Jenkins and Susannah Cooke (sometimes spelled Cook)
Zachariah and Abiah eventually moved to Providence County, Rhode Island, where they settled in the village of East Greenwich on 16 August 1708. (East Greenwich is now within Kent County, Rhode Island). Shortly thereafter, Zachariah was made a "freeman" of Rhode Island. Zachariah and Abiah later purchased four shares of boggy meadow at East Greenwich on 13 February 1708/09, and bought additional lands to the west of East Greenwich on 18 September 1710.
Abiah died at East Greenwich, Rhode Island on 10 April 1712. Zachariah later sold his lands near East Greenwich and moved to North Kingstown, Rhode Island, where he is believed to have died in about 1722
