General Notes: Husband - Rev. Thomas Allison

---

He was born, probably, in York County, Pennsylvania, but removed while still a child with his parents to Washington County. He prosecuted his classical and scientific studies in Canonsburg Academy, afterward Jefferson College, and having gone through the regular course of theological study, in a class with three others, under the supervision of Rev. Dr. John Anderson, the regularly appointed theological professor of the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania, was licensed to preach in the beginning of the year 1800. He was of medium size, erect and well-proportioned form, aquiline nose, of dignified and solemn demeanor, and of a general bearing calculated rather to elicit respect and admiration than draw those around closely to him.
He and his wife had twelve children, eight daughters and four sons. The daughters and one son had passed away by 1882. Three sons still survived at that time. [HWC 1882, 831]

He was fourteen years of age when he came to the United States, and first lived at Washington, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He eventually entered the ministry of the Seceder Church, and became one of the prominent and influential clergymen of that denomination in his day. He was for many years pastor of the Mount Hope Seceder Church in Washington County, and he is buried in the Mount Hope cemetery. He and his wife became the parents of nine children that grew to maturity. Mrs. Allison survived her husband for several years.
