General Notes: Husband - Samuel Waters Allerton

---

He studied medicine and intended to take the practice in which his father had been so successful, but he soon abandoned the notion and engaged in the tailoring trade, which he learned, and became a merchant tailor and conducted a country store. In 1828 he was one of the promoters of a woolen factory, but with the Democratic reduced tariff measure enacted in 1833, he with nearly all others engaged in like business was financially ruined. He then went to Dubuque County, Iowa, hoping to regain what he had lost, but after two years in that new country he was smitten with dumb ague and returned to his former home. He was deputy sheriff of Dutchess County, New York, for three years, and in 1842 moved to Yates County of that state, where he rented a farm, and in 1848 purchased one in Wayne County, New York, where he died. He was a very industrious man-never let a moment slip by idly. He reared his children to believe that true religion consisted in "Love to God and good will to all men." He was a Universalist in his religious faith, although a trustee in the Presbyterian church at Amenia at one time.
