"...Adjoining Royal's (River) eastern boundary was another tract of 200 acres which had been conveyed to Arnold Allen, of London, by Thomas Gorges in 1643. The grantee was a brother-in-law of Richard Tucker. In 1646, Allen's only child had been apprenticed to Thomas Dexter. The arrangement was made by Cleave & Tucker against the wishes of Mary, wife of Arnold and mother of the minor, who was reported to have been kept in a destitute condition of servitude. Cleave became abusive and with a natural inclination to dictate and the added advantage of his superior position as a magistrate attempted to intimidate the parents with the unfounded accusation that the mother had performed criminal abortion at Casco.The testimony adduced not only injured the reputation of the magistrate but lessened the prestige of the Rigby administration. Richard Tucker was married to Margaret Reynolds, sister of Mary, wife of Arnold Allen."
