 England Early Origins of the Ally familyThe surname Ally was first found in Worcestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor.

But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held estates in that shire.

Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Allys to arrive on North American shores: Catherine Alyea, who was on record in Ameliasburgh in the census of Ontario of 1861; Sus Allie, who came to Virginia in 1690; and John Allie, who arrived in Canada in 1818..
