General Notes: Husband - Joseph Allen

---

He was born in Ireland, and came to America when nine months old, with his parents. They settled in Ohio. He remained with his parents until June, 1820, when he married. He then purchased a farm near West Middlesex, Mercer County, PA, on which they settled. There were six children born to them. He had obtained a good common school education and taught school for a few terms. In politics he was a Whig and Republican. They were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and he was a ruling elder for thirty-seven years. About three years before his death he was disabled by a stroke of paralysis.
