General Notes: Husband - Hon. Heman Allen

---

Milton, Chittenden Co, VT

When his widowed mother and brothers and sisters journeyed to Grand Isle, Vermont, in 1795, he was left behind to pursue his studies. He took a two years classical course at an academy at Chesterfield, New Hampshire, and made the journey from there to Grand Isle on foot. After four years more of study in leisure hours, devoted principally to Latin and Greek, he read law, and was admitted to the bar, in 1803. He opened an office in Holgate's tavern in the town of Milton, Vermont, and rapidly built up a remunerative practice. He was elected to represent Milton in the State Legislature in 1819, and was re-elected eleven times, as long as he would accept the office. In 1827 he was a delegate to the National Convention at Harrisburg, and in 1832 was elected to Congress, for the first time, subsequently serving four successive terms in that body.
