General Notes: Husband - Joseph Allen

---

He was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared and educated. In early life he married and they moved to a farm in Allen township, Washington County, and he followed his vocation of boat-building. In political opinion he was a Jacksonian Democrat.

The Allens were among the earliest settlers of Washington county, and owned a vast tract of land on the Monongahela river where their lives were passed.

He was a large property owner, which he accumulated by dint of indefatigable industry from an humble beginning. His first work for pay was the making with his own hands of a small boat (skiff). This he sold, and with the proceeds bought more lumber, with which he built several boats. From this modest start he managed to amass thirty thousand dollars, a fortune in those days. He died before attaining his forty-fifth year.
