General Notes: Husband - Joseph Allen

---

He remained in his native county until 1866, when he came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He received a common-school education, and in early youth learned carpentering, which he afterward followed in connection with ship-building. For thirty-five years he was engaged on the river in various kinds of work on steamboats, as mate, engineer and captain. Retiring in 1878 he purchased the property where he now resided, and devoted his attention to farming.
He and his family were members of the Presbyterian church; he was a Democrat.
