General Notes: Husband - John McAllen

---

He located in Fannettsburg, Metal Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, about the year 1794, and bought large tracts of land and set about improving it at once by erecting houses and barns upon it. He built and burned brick kilns, from which he constructed a number of large brick houses, one of which was erected for and kept as a hotel for many years and enjoyed a large patronage. This house was later occupied for many years by his oldest son, John Franklin McAllen; another brick edifice adjoining the above was occupied by his youngest son, William S. McAllen. He also erected four mills, two saw-mills and two flouring-mills, all of which were still in successful operation many years later. Thus it will be seen that he gave great impetus to the spirit of improvement at that early day. In addition to the improvement of large bodies of land, he had in an adjacent valley (Horse Valley) about 1,200 acres of land valuable for its bark timber, on which he was about to erect a large steam tannery, but about this time, July, 1840, he took suddenly sick and died. Thus ended the life of a good and useful man who did more to develop the resources of his neighborhood than any other score of men in his day. [HFC 1887, 838]
