Allen Family and Descendants of Latimerstown, Wexford, Ireland [1663-1900]

 

 

 

Introduction

 

My husband and I visited beautiful Wexford in southern Ireland with our three youngest daughters in June 1998, which happened to be the Bicentennial of the 1798 Rebellion. To our knowledge, none of the Allens had been back to Wexford for more than eighty years and no living memory of the family remained.  But we had in our possession scraps of papers and fragments of genealogy relating to the research of my husband's great-grandfather Benjamin William Allen (1853-1918) and so on the very first day we were able to locate Latimerstown, the townland Ben Allen had described in his notes as the seat of his family, and Rathaspeck, the churchyard where so many of his ancestors were interred.

This genealogy which is intended for personal use only, represents my efforts to pull together the research of Benjamin W. Allen, in whom I recognize a kindred spirit, although he was born a hundred years before me. In order to protect the privacy of the living, information has been included about the first eight generations only. Also, since this genealogy is in the format of a register chart, marriages without children may not appear. Several other researchers have contributed information about the Harford County, Maryland descendants of John Allen of Latimerstown, but much of our information, both Irish and American, is still unproven. However, if you are aware of any other errors or omissions, please contact me: < [email protected] >  You are also welcome to contact any other researchers who are mentioned in this genealogy. Revised and updated November 2007.

 

History

There are several theories about the origins of the Allens of Latimerstown,Wexford, Ireland. Some say they came over to Ireland from England in the time of Henry VIII when the English King sent Protestants to "plant" or colonize Ireland; others say they were descendants of Rev. Hugh Allen of Ferns and Rev. Alexander Allen, dispossessed Rector of St. Iberius Church in Wexford; still others fear they were Cromwellians. Benjamin W. Allen (1853-1918) preferred to believe that his ancestors were fleeing Cromwell and while this may have been true, by the time Ben began researching his family about 1903, the Allens had been English Protestants in southern Ireland for more than 350 years and the last of the family was ready to leave Latimerstown.

Generation 1-2 in this genealogy is sketchy, but there are written records referring to John Allen, born 1692, as being "of Latimerstown."

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

        1.  George1 ALLEN died Abt. 1663 in Coolatore [Colltore], Wexford, Ireland.  He married Susannah ___ Abt. 1651 in Wexford, Ireland. 

 

Notes for George ALLEN:

George Allen was descended from an ancient English family seated in the reign of Charles I.

 

He is believed to have fled the Nottinghamshire area, on the border of Sherwood Forest in England about 1650. He was accompanied by at least one daughter, when he took up residence in Wexford, Ireland. (This daughter is supposed to have married a Williams. Descendant Joseph Allen (1712-1796)  left the Williams family 1000 pounds in his will, but the relationship was not stipulated.)  In consequence of George Allen firmly opposing Oliver Cromwell, he abandoned a good estate which has never been recovered nor was it claimed until too late.

 

This information was apparently obtained from a Joseph Allen, who wrote a book prior to 1905. The book is not in my possession; in fact, it is only mentioned in a letter written by a Walter W. Allen of Inniscrone, Datchet, Buckshire, England about 1910. The letter was found in Benjamin W. Allen's papers. The above mentioned daughter was this Joseph's father's mother.

 

George's townland was fairly large: 221 acres.  Coolatore was located in Wexford, Ireland in the Barony of Gorey and the parish of Kiltrisk.

 

His will  was proved in 1663 [See Calendar of Wills in the Diocese of Ferns 1601-1800].  This unexamined will is believed to have mentioned Susannah, Anne, Elnathan, Elizabeth, George and William.  The names of Jehew and Nahomey were attributed to George and Susannah Allen of Colotore (sic), Wexford, Ireland by an IGI contributor.

Generation No. 3

 

        10.  Nathaniel3 ALLEN (Elnathon2, George1)  He married Mary BOYD 10 Nov 1709 in St. Iberius Church, Wexford Town, Ireland1. 

 

Notes for Nathaniel ALLEN:

Like Elnathon, there is no christening register for Nathaniel in the Wexford Parish registers, but it is possible that his birth occurred prior to the family's tenure in Wexford parish. He is not included in the information found on the IGI.

 

       

Children of Nathaniel ALLEN and Mary BOYD are:

+      17               i.    Nathaniel4 ALLEN.

        18              ii.    James ALLEN, born 1718 in Wexford, Ireland.

 

Notes for James ALLEN:

James, Alexander and Higat are listed as the children of Mary Ann

Malcachy in the IGI, so possibly Nathaniel remarried.

Notes for Elnathon ALLEN:

Apparently, there was no christening registered for Elnathon Jr in St. Iberius Church. Perhaps he was born elsewhere. However, he is referred to as "Elnathon Jr" in several records.  He also identified as a "cloathier of Wexford" in at least two deeds.

 

Registry Deed #41322, dated 12 Aug 1729, shows that Elnathon sold and leased property to John Goodall of Gerrybank Junction.

Registry Deed #48434, dated 23-24 Dec 1729, shows Elnathon also leasing 5 acres to John Goodall.

 

His brother George's widow Hannah as well as his brother Benjamin are also mentioned in various deeds.

Notes for George ALLEN:

George is in the parish registers for St. Iberius Church having his children at the same time as Elnathon Jr and Nathaniel Allen, so once again I have assumed all three men to be brothers, although there are no parish registers for their christenings in Wexford Town which might confirm this.

Reg. 24 Oct 1753 of Lease of 8 April 1746 at 61 an acre for 31 years from 1744 by John Allen of Gorey, Co. Wexford, Tykillin 53 a 2r 8p Irish as now in lessee's possession bounded on South by Rev. Jas Taker's part of Tykillin, on North by Newton & Bamington's parts of Tykillin, on West by the River Slaney. Witnesses of lease: Joseph Allen of Wexford town, gentleman; Rev. Jas Tasker of Tykillin; Pat Redmond.

 

 

        15.  John3 ALLEN (Elnathon2, George1) was born 1692.  He married Mary GIBSON 01 May 1716 in Wexford, Ireland10, daughter of John GIBSON and Hannah WALLIS. 

 

Notes for John ALLEN:

My husband's great-grandfather, William Benjamin Allen, made it clear that the townland known as Latimerstown in Co. Wexford, Ireland was the Allen family seat, but exactly when this place became the property of the Allens is still unknown. The property has probably always been little more than 100 acres and appears to have been passed down from one younger Allen son to another.

 

Papers in the possession of the current owners indicate that Latimerstown was leased by Oliver Cromwell to Colonel Camby in 1653 when there was no habitable dwelling. Col. Camby was still on the property in 1660, but it was acquired by a Mr. Jacob at Rathdowney shortly thereafter.

 

There are several undated buildings on this property now. The square, newer, Georgian style portion of the house, with the numerous large windows befitting a gentleman, was probably built in the mid 1700s. Inside the house are a number of spacious rooms with marble fire places in the livingroom, diningroom and master bedroom. A tree-lined road winds up to the house and rose gardens and the windows once overlooked a sprawling lawn and a pond.  Other papers currently available at Latimerstown, indicate that the property was being leased from the Johnstown Castle in 1901 to William Henry Allen, but I can not be certain whether not the Allens had always leased Latimerstown from Johnstown Castle post 1660.

 

However, there is a reference to a deed in Benjamin W. Allen's papers, dated 30 June 1727, which indicates that John Allen of "Latimorstown," a farmer, leased a 3/4 share "for lives renewable forever" from Charles Monk of Grangegorman Dublin Esq the following lands: "Johnstown 188a Garrygibbon 75a 16p Ballybanage mixed with Johnstown ...Beggerin or Little Island in Wexford Harbour 14a 2r 15 p...to hold for 3 lives of Wm Allen 1st son & Edward Allen 3rd son of lessee and of Wm Greathed only son of John Greathed of Dublin City Smith renewable forever..." (Source: Reg Deeds Dublin, Vol 52, p459, No 352 & 2 mem reg 5.)

 

Also, genealogical correspondence between Ben and his cousin William H. Allen, makes reference to a deed dated 1739, which identified the above John Allen as the owner of Latimerstown.  Francine Falk-Allen has provided the following transcription of Deed #70800 from the Registry of Deeds, Dublin, Ireland.  She reports that John Allen appeared to have great difficulty signing this document and that the words in square brackets are open to interpretation:

 

"A memorial of a deed of lease bearing date the fourth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and thirty nine made between John Grogan of Killnicknee in the County of Wexford [Esq.] and John Allen of Lattismerstown in the said County of Wexford farmer whereby the said John Grogan did demise lot and to farm both unto ye said John Allen (in his actual possession then being by [entire] of a Bargain and Sale to him thereof made by ye sd.

Correspondent Sam Block reports that John Allen was also a weaver in Dublin.

Children of John ALLEN and Mary GIBSON are:

+      39               i.    William "John"4 ALLEN, born Bef. 1724 in Latimerstown, Wexford Co., Ireland; died Aft. 16 Dec 1778 in Johnstown Co. Wexford, Ireland.

+      40              ii.    Robert ALLEN, born Abt. 1724 in Wexford, Ireland; died Abt. 07 Apr 1811 in Ireland.

        41             iii.    Edward ALLEN, born 1727 in Wexford, Ireland.

 

Notes for Edward ALLEN:

Edward was identified as the third son of "John Allen of Latimerstown" when his father leased Ballycarrane in 1734 (Reg. Deeds Dublin, Vol. 76, p.346, No. 54894, Mem. Reg. 9 Dec 1734 of lease of 10 June 1734.)  Also described as John Allen's third son in Reg Deed for Dublin, Vol 76, p.346, No 54804, dated 9 Dec 1734.  A handwritten copy of this deed is now in my possession; presumably the original has been destroyed. The deed was for a land transaction. The land included 12 acres plus in Ballytramen Manor, Co Wexford. Henry Hatton was a witness.

 

 

        16.  Elizabeth3 ALLEN (Elnathon2, George1)  She married Joseph WILLIAMS. 

 

Notes for Elizabeth ALLEN:

See 1910 Pedigree of ALLEN-WILLIAMS etc. compiled by Walter ALLEN of Inniscrone, Datchet, Berkshire, England.  This starts with George ALLEN of Coolatore in the Parish of Ferns, Co Wexford who died in 1663 and shows the connection of BLOCK through WILLIAMS to ALLEN.  The original is among the HORE MS at St Peters College, Wexford Town. George A's will is said to mention: Susannah, Anne, Elnathan, Elizabeth, George & William. The names of  Jehew and Nahomey were attributed to George and Susannah A of Coolatore, Wexford by an IGI contributor.

 

       

Child of Elizabeth ALLEN and Joseph WILLIAMS is:

+      42               i.    Joseph4 WILLIAMS, born 1729; died 1778.

 

 

Generation No. 4

 

        17.  Nathaniel4 ALLEN (Nathaniel3, Elnathon2, George1)

 

Notes for Nathaniel ALLEN:

Although there is no record of a Nathaniel Allen being christened in the early 1700s at St. Iberius Church, I believe that Nathaniel Sr had at least one son whom he named after himself. Following a gap in the St. Iberius Registers between 1718-1738, a Nathaniel Allen is recorded as having several children christened.

       

Children of Nathaniel ALLEN are:

        43               i.    Moses5 ALLEN, born 1747.

        20.  Alexander4 ALLEN (Nathaniel3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 1722 in Wexford, Ireland.  He married Elizabeth MIDGLEY 03 Jul 1739 in Ferns Diocese, Wexford, Ireland. 

 

Notes for Alexander ALLEN:

Like his brother Nathaniel, Alexander also seems to have been christened during a gap in the St. Iberius parish registers. The fact that he named a son Nathaniel is fairly indicative of his paternity,

though. Marriage record found in Ben Allen's papers.

       

Child of Alexander ALLEN and Elizabeth MIDGLEY is:

        46               i.    Nathaniel5 ALLEN.

        21.  Boyd4 ALLEN (Nathaniel3, Elnathon2, George1)

 

Notes for Boyd ALLEN:

Boyd's baptism is believed to fall into a gap in the St. Iberius Parish Registers.  However, "Boyd Allen" himself is recorded as having at least one daughter baptized in 1752.  His name suggests that he may have been the son of Nathanial Allen and Mary Boyd.

       

Child of Boyd ALLEN is:

        31.  Rev. George4 ALLEN (George3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 1713, and died 177513.  He married Anne JACOB, daughter of George JACOB. 

 

Notes for Rev. George ALLEN:

Allen, George, Pen. (Rev. Mr. Miller, Wexford), June 3, 1729, aged 18; s. of George, Pannarius, b. Wexford. B.A. Vern 1733. M.A. est. 1736. (Alumni Dublinenses)

 

Curate of St Mary's 1736, Curate of Wexford 1743-59; rector of Kilmanagh, County Wexham 1759-?, treasurer of Ferns Cathedral and Preband of Monomolin 1760. Died intestate.

 

N.B.: there is some discrepancy between the age of the George reported here and the baptismal date of the George found in the St. Iberious registers.  However, both sources were copies, so there is a possibility of an error in either. Not identified in his burial register; assumed to be George's son, but 1717 may be his father's death date, since there is no further mention of him in the parish registers.

Notes for Dr. Joseph ALLEN:

Handwritten notes found in Benjamin William Allen's papers (from William Hore)  indicate that Joseph may have been born in 1712.  Master of Dulwich College, London. 

 

Joseph also reportedly went around the world on Lord Anson's voyage. Sam Block provided the following excerpts:

Captain Anson and the Treasure of Spain by Frank Knight, p 182

Joseph Allen

He sailed as surgeon's first mate of the Centurion, being then 25 years of age.  Anson promoted him to be the surgeon of the Tyrall and later of the Tyrall Prize.  After that he served in the Centurion as supernumerary.  Back in England he obtained his diploma as Doctor of Medicine, having already a diploma in Surgery.  Then, in 1745, he became Warden of Dulwich College, and Master in 1746.  He held that post till 1775, when he retired.  He died in 1796, one of the last survivors of the great voyage.  His descendants still own a set of 'gold dust jars' taken in the Manila galleon.

 

Letter to the Gentleman's Magazine. Sept 3rd 17??

To your account of several persons, now living, who sailed around the with Lord Anson, you may add Dr. Allen of Dulwich in Surrey, as he is not only an eminent physician but a most valuable friend to all who are acquainted with him, and a liberal benefactor to the poor of that hamlet.

At the time, he was with Lord Anson, I believe he was only a surgeon. (Signed) AMICUS

 

 

Mentioned (in Joseph's 1796 will)  "tenements at Wexford...held under William Hatton Esq. by leases for lives renewable forever" and "to my sister-in-law Anne Allen of Gorey all my...which I hold under Thos. Richards Esq. by lease for lives renewable forever...My nephew Joseph Gibson of Wexford, nephew Ric Allen--Surgeon, brother Rev. George Allen--deceased...There are many more relations mentioned."

 

An unidentified child of Joseph's died 8 May 1746.  All three of his known children are believed to have died young.

Notes for Mary BLOOMER:

Described in her death register as the "relict of Joseph Allen;" however, she might be Joseph Jr's wife. Presumably one or both Joseph died during a gap in the parish registers, which occurred after 1752.

        39.  William "John"4 ALLEN (John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born Bef. 1724 in Latimerstown, Wexford Co., Ireland, and died Aft. 16 Dec 1778 in Johnstown Co. Wexford, Ireland16.  He married Anne MERRIMAN Abt. 23 Nov 1728 in Ferns, Wexford, Ireland17.  She died Abt. 1790 in Ireland.

 

Notes for William "John" ALLEN:

William is identified as the "first son" of John Allen of Latimerstown in a deed which I have described in his father's notes. This deed pertains to the properties of Beggerin and Johnstown. William is also supposed to have owned 3/4 pf Ballytramon Manor. (Reg. Deeds Dublin, Vol.85, p.263, No. 60077, Mem, Reg. 14 Dec 1736)  He became a farmer.

 

Several other deeds identify his brothers Robert and Edward as the the second and third sons of John Allen of Latimerstown.

 

However, I believe that William may also have been called John after his father, as a 1777 will refers to "William or John Allen of Johnstown" (Ferns will made 3 Aug 1777 proved 16 Dec 1777.)

 

William's own will was proved in Ferns 16 Dec 1778 and identifies his wife Anne to whom he gives the lands of Castlesow in Co. Wexford and his daughters Mary and Sarah, to whom he gives 250 pounds each. Sons John and Maurice were named as executors.

 

Judging by his son John's 1806 will, none of these children married or reproduced and the lands of Johnstown reverted back to John's cousins in Latimerstown.

 

       

Children of William ALLEN and Anne MERRIMAN are:

        62               i.    Sarah5 ALLEN, born Abt. 1736; died 30 Nov 1820 in Wexford, Ireland.

 

Notes for Sarah ALLEN:

Mentioned in her father's will; see his private notes. She is also an executor in her brother's will in 1806 as "my sister Sarah Allen of Johnstown."

 

Sarah and her brothers John and Maurice are buried together at Castlebridge.

        64             iii.    John ALLEN, born Abt. 1746; died 12 Sep 1806.

 

Notes for John ALLEN:

Believed to be John Allen of Johnstown. His will, dated 14 Nov 1806, links him to Robert Allen of Latimerstown.  John was imprisoned by rebels in 1798 and successfully claimed for losses in the Rebellion.  Mr. Philip Hore of Pole Hore recorded in his diary: "Dined with Mrs Hobbs and family at Mr. J. Allen's, Johnstown, on the side of the water (a good fellow)."  Sam Block says see Hore, Wexford, p. 89/

 

John left "Sea View" (in Johnstown) to his nephew John.  Admitted Freeman of Wexford 2 July 1782.  His death date was found in Ben Allen's notes. See his father William's private notes.

        40.  Robert4 ALLEN (John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born Abt. 1724 in Wexford, Ireland, and died Abt. 07 Apr 1811 in Ireland18.  He married Hannah NUNN 12 Nov 1760 in Wexford, Ireland19, daughter of Richard NUNN and Sarah MADDOCK.  She was born Abt. 1734, and died 30 Apr 1820 in Rathaspeck, Wexford, Ireland20.

 

Notes for Robert ALLEN:

Robert was identified as the second son of "John Allen of Latimerstown" when his father leased Ballycarrane. (Reg. Deeds Dublin, Vol. 76, p.346, No.54804, Mem. reg. 9 Dec. 1734 of Lease of 10 June 1734.)  However, he was also identified as John Allen's "youngest son" in a deed dated five years later, which may indicate that the third son had died. (Deed # 70800, 4 March 1739)

 

Robert's children were identified by their cousin John Allen of Johnstown in 1806 when he left them 20 pounds each: Rev.John Allen, Richard Allen, Ebenezr Allen, Wm Allen, Sarah Allen, alias Mahon Hannah Allen alias Nunn, Robert Allen and Mary Allen..."all the sons and daughters of my Uncle Robert of Latimerstown."

 

As to the property known as Johnstown, John Allen left this to his surviving sister Sarah Allen "for life then amongst kinsfolk." (Pre Will made 11 April 1804; Proved 14 Nov 1806).

 

Almost all of the sons of Robert Allen are believed to have immigrated to Maryland, United States in the 1790s; some of their relations may have preceded them. Robert's daughter Mary Allen who married George Pounder also immigrated; the Pounders went to Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada. Only Robert Jr. remained in Latimerstown, Wexford, Ireland.  A second daughter, Sarah Allen a.k.a Hannah Nunn probably married Rev. Thomas White, but her whereabouts are still unknown.

Notes for Hannah NUNN:

Based on naming patterns, Hannah's parents were believed to be named Richard and Sarah, a fact later confirmed.  Death register states she was "aged 86 years."

        72            vii.    Ebenezer "Eben" Nunn ALLEN, born 1777 in Latimerstown, Wexford, Ireland; died 30 Nov 1840.  He married (1) Elizabeth CHAUNCEY 13 Feb 1816 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States; born 1792; died 14 Jun 1816.  He married (2) Elecia Malvina MONKS 19 Nov 1821 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States; born 1795; died 13 Jan 1823.  He married (3) Mary Ann BILLINGSLEA 02 Dec 1823 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States; born 1801; died 25 Oct 1826 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States.  He married (4) Martha "Patsy" BOND 28 May 1827 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States; born 1781 in Maryland, United States.

 

Notes for Ebenezer "Eben" Nunn ALLEN:

Eben probably immigrated to Maryland, United States about the same time as his brothers in the 1790s. A record at the Maryland State Archives indicates that he became a Justice of the Peace 22 July 1831, so he may have been a lawyer as well. He is buried in the same row as his brother William, and as we will see from his will, he remained close to William's children until the end of his days. His tombstone inscription reads "Sacred to the memory of Ebenezer Nun Allen who died Nov 23, 1840, age 63."  A scripture is illegible. Another source indicates that Eben was 61 when he died, so from these sources we can infer he was born between 1777 and 1779.

 

Eben's 1840 will was illegible in parts, but this much may be gleaned: he first freed all his slaves after they reached the age of  21; he left bequests of $1000. each to to Adeline Allen? of John? and Elizabeth ? of Rick?; to his sister Mary ? he left $1000.; to his brother William he left $1500.; to his sister Hannah Nun he left $500.  and then to his brother William he left an additional $500. and to his sister-in-law Hannah Allen he also $500.

 

In addition, he said that "my dear wife will receive a proportion by law of my estate" but neither her name nor the amount was specified.

 

Stephen A. Pearne? and Robert Bolton (who had married his niece (Margaret "Peggy" Bond Allen) also received $100. each and he named his brother William executer. Perhaps in a codicil, Eben added that if

William of Glanvill? (his niece Ann Maria's son?) died before he reached the age of majority and without issue, everything was to go to William Allen's children, Sarah and Mary Allen (who were also his nieces of course.) (Source: Harford Co. Wills, 1831-1842, WK 827-28, available at Maryland State Archives)

 

Although I am not absolutely sure of everybody's identity in this will, except in those cases where he specified a relationship, I have inferred that Eben had no children of his own, even though he may have

been married for possibly a fourth time, since both Elicia (Monks) and Elizabeth (Chauncy) are identified on their separate tombstones as "the wife of Eben. N. Allen" and are buried beside each other in St.

George's Cemetery (Spesutia) in Perryman, Maryland. This is the cemetery where his brother Rev. John was also interred, so perhaps Eben lived near him when he first came to Maryland.

 

However, notes in the Dielman-Hayman File at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore indicate that the Ebenezer N. Allen who died at his residence in Abington, age 61 years on 30 Nov 1840 married Alicia

(sic) Malvina Monks Nov. 23, 1821 and Mary Ann Billigslea, daughter of James, 4 Dec 1823. No mention was made of Elizabeth Chauncey, making it possible that she was the wife of his nephew, Ebenezer Nun Allen, born 1803, although I believe this is unlikely, considering the proximity of her grave to Elicia's.

Notes for Mary Ann BILLINGSLEA:

Mary Ann is identified as the daughter of James and the wife of Eben N. Allen. Their marriage was published in the Federal Gazette, Dec 8, 1823. (Source: Dielman-Hayman File, Maryland Historical Society.)

 

We did not see her grave when we visited Cokesbury Cemetery in July

2000, but files at the Har tford Co. Historical Society, also show that "Mary Ann Allen" died 25 Oct 1826, according to her tombstone inscription.

Notes for Martha "Patsy" BOND:

Patsy was previously married to Jacob Dickinson by whom she had four children: Andrew Jackson, Jacob T., Julia Ann and Araminta.  In 1834, her daughter, Julia Ann married R.T.P. Allen, her husband Eben Allen's nephew. Then in 1837, her son Jacob T. Dickinson, married Martha M. Allen. However, I am uncertain about Martha's place in the Allen family. Patsy's remaining daughter by Jacob Dickinson, Araminta, married John Nourse.

 

According to her will which was dated July 24, 1850, Patsy also had two other daughters, but their fathers are unknown: Sophia C. (Mrs. Joel Johnson) and Manverva M. (Mrs. Green).

 

Patsy's property consisted chiefly of slaves which she left to her children and grandchildren. She was living in Franklin Co., Kentucky when she signed her will which follows:

"After Richard died in 1806, Mary married Thomas Collicott who had worked for her husband.  He was arrested in 1815 for failing to place stamp duty on bottles of medicine and was sentenced to be hung.  Mary  went to the Duke of Kent for help, and the sentence was commuted to life transportation to NSW, Australia.  So he was sent to Sydney and Mary followed with 3 of her own children Richarda, Richard and George Allen and Thomas' 3 children. Richarda married well, into a wealthy family of Tasmania.  George became a well known Lawyer in Sydney, as yet not sure what happened to Richard."

Notes for Elizabeth ALLEN:

Based on her approximate age and her residence when she married, I have assumed that this is the same "Elizabeth Allen of Latimerstown" who married Richard Bolton in 3 Dec 1795 and to whose children John Allen of Johnstown left legacies in 1806, but there is no indication of her parentage.  She is described as Elnathon's daughter in a letter written by a Walter W. Allen to a Mr Allen 19 Nov 1910 (?), but this is probably inaccurate.

Notes for Rev. John ALLEN:

John was "the son of Robert, a farmer in Wexford Co." He entered Trinity College Nov.1, 1779 at the age of 18 and got his B.A. in Feb. 1784 (Alumni Dublinenses and preface to his "Euclid.").  "Ferns Clergy and Parishes..." by James B. Leslie also records that he was nominated by C. Grogan on July 23, 1790 and licensed to him Feb. 7, 1791; 'went to America.'

 

The Wexford Parish Registers which Benjamin W. Allen copied, record the marriage of "John Allen of Latimerstown to Brasseya Johnston"  prior to his departure to America.

 

Rev. John Allen also crops up in "The Hall Family of West River..."  This book (which is quoting Benjamin W. Allen)  indicates that some of the Allen family immigrated to the US just prior to the 1798 Rebellion, because of their liberal views. Rev. John Allen, a Rector of St. George's Church in Spesutia Parish, Perryman, MD from 1795-1817 is specifically mentioned. He also may have been associated with the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore.

 

In addition, Rev. John Allen was a well-documented professor, scholar, essayist on political concerns and noted mathematician. He was a professor at St. John's College, Annapolis. He later edited "Euclid"

while he was a professor at the University of Maryland, which he dedicated to his friend John Quincy Adams.

 

In the year 2000, I held a copy of his rare book in my hands at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore.

 

Rev. John Allen's memorial, which was erected by his "affectionate granddaughter Ann Elizabeth Allen," is a tall spire in St. George's (Spesutia) Churchyard in Perryman, Maryland. He is buried with his wife

and several of his children; his wife's sister Dorothy and her niece Sarah are buried under separate monuments next to his; a little further area monuments to Rev. Thomas White and several Halls, also names which were associated with the Allen family.

 

His inscription reads: "Rev. John for 20 years the faithful, untiring minister of this church, a profound Scholar and able Divine, a sincere and humble Christian." A Biblical scripture from Numbers c.23, v.10?

also reads: "Let me die the death of the Righteous and let my last end be like His."

Notes for Brasseya JOHNSON:

Brasseya published the first collection of poetry by a Maryland woman, "Pastorals, Elegies and Odes" in 1806. Although she raised seven children, she evidently had some help in the form of five unnamed slaves who show up in her household in the 1800 Census.

 

Brasseya dedicated her book to President Thomas Jefferson.

"Pastorals..." includes one poem, "Aleon" which was dedicated to her father William Johnson, Esq. and she also mentions her two eldest brothers who died within six months of each other around the time her book was published in 1806.

 

She had at least three sisters, two of whom had immigrated with her and married her brother-in-law, Richard Nun Allen. It is not known where these sisers are buried, but her sister Mary's daughter, Sarah Hughes Allen Bond, is buried near Rev. John and Brasseya under the name "Mrs. Sarah Bond."

 

One of the poems in "Pastoral..." was written in Arklow, presumably the place where Brasseya was born. She had evidently also published some poetry in the Dublin Journal. Brasseya is rather dismissive of her book, suggesting that she dashed her poetry off while she was doing some sewing. "Pastorals..." (also entitled "Mrs. Allen's Poems") is available in the rare book section of the Maryland Historical Society.

 

The Harford Historical Bulletin, No. 26, Fall 1985 recorded some information about Brasseya.

Notes for William Henry ALLEN:

(Source: Biographical Record of Harford and Cecil Counties, Maryland, Family Line Publications, Westminster, MD, 1989, p.418)

 

Although some have interpreted that William's monumental inscription to read that he died at the age of 12, and I had difficulty deciphering whether he was 12 or 42, I decided on the latter, based on his mother's  age. Bible verse inscribed on tombstone is from John, Chap. 1, verse 25: "I am the Resurrection..."

Notes for Dr. Matthew Johnson ALLEN:

Matthew graduated from the University of Maryland in 1820.

 

His will was probated 25 Jun 1856 in Lean Co., Florida and from this it is obvious that he was a doctor. He asked to be buried with his parents in Spesutia and left his estate to his niece Adeline B. Allen and his nephews John D.? Allen and Henry S.? Allen. This estate included land in Madson Co., Jackson State, Florida, except for 450 acres which he left to his nephew Robert G. Allen.

 

He also left his gold watch to John D. Allen, his silver watch to Edward M. Allen and his medical library to John D. Allen. His personal effects were left to his sister Adeline G. Greme. (Harford Co. Wills, CWB-7-132, CR 95-1, p.142 at Maryland State Archives)

 

Matthew's inscription on his parents' tombstone reads: "Through his faith in his blessed Redeemer, he was enabled to meet Death in a strange land with calmness and resignation."  Of course, Florida was not part of the United States at this time.

        69.  Richard Nunn5 ALLEN (Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 1764 in Latimerstown, Wexford Co., Ireland, and died 19 Apr 1828 in Baltimore Co., Maryland, United States.  He married (1) Elizabeth JOHNSON 23 Feb 1789 in Wexford, Ireland, daughter of William JOHNSON and Ann HALDE?.  She was born in Ireland, and died 30 Dec 1807 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States.  He married (2) Dorothy JOHNSON 18 May 1810 in First Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore Co., Maryland, United States, daughter of William JOHNSON and Ann HALDE?.  She was born in Ireland, and died 24 Dec 1811.  He married (3) Sarah HUGHES 29 Dec 1812 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States, daughter of ___ HUGHES and Mary JOHNSON.  She was born Jan 1793 in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, and died 31 Oct 1868 in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, United States.

 

Notes for Richard Nunn ALLEN:

Benjamin W. Allen had mentioned in his papers that three Allen brothers immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1790s, but as we now know there were at least four: Rev. John, William, Ebenener Nun and Richard Nun.

 

Descendant Richard Noel Allen confirms that his ggg-grandfather Richard was accompanied by his wife Elizabeth Johnson, his brothers Rev. John, William and Ebenezer Allen, as well as Elizabeth's sisters Brasseya (Rev. John's wife) and Dorothea and their niece Sarah Hughes. A letter written by Sarah Hughes' descendant, Katherine Forwood, indicates that Elizabeth, Brasseya and Dorothea were all daughters of William Johnson of Arklow, Wicklow and that a fourth sister, Mary, was the mother of their niece, Sarah Hughes.

 

Richard and Elizabeth settled in Harford Co., Maryland. He became a planter, and as such, he owned slaves. After Elizabeth died, Richard married Dorothea and then his niece Sarah Hughes, who was Richard Noel Allen's ggg-grandmother. The name Richard Allen appears in several sources, including the Baltimore Co. Grantee Index when William Walkins "granted" him Randalls Lot (S/a 292) in 1796. (Land Records, WK 1296-3, 1787-1797, Maryland State Archives.) His name also appears on a Baltimore County court petition, dated 7 Oct 1820, to straighten a road (MSA No.: C349-72, Maryland State Archives).

 

Also, on 11 Dec 1834, Richard's eldest son, Robert T.P., petitioned the Baltimore County court to require his brothers, Ebenezer N. and Richard N., his sister Dorothea Elizabeth, his mother Sarah B. Bond and his step-father, Thomas W. Bond, to sell "Amsterdam," a large tract of land northwest of current Liberty and Old Court Roads, near Randallstown (MSA No.:C295-1619, Maryland Archives).

 

Presumably "Amsterdam" was the name of Richard Nun Allen's plantation. Although this land may have been "near Randallstown," in Baltimore Co., it was also very close to the Baltimore/Carroll Co. border. One source describes Amsterdam as 180 acres in Carroll Co. and refers to surveys in 1752 and 1958. Adam Lynn's name is mentioned in 1752; Richard Allen's name is not recorded at all. There is also a note that Amsterdam was possibly leased land since there is no Pat. Cert. in the Archives. (Source: Seitz, R. Carlton, Maps of Land Patents in Northern Baltimore and Carroll Counties, 1995, p.28)

 

However, another source confirms that Richard Allen was living on this land which was part of Soldiers Delight Hundred in 1798 and gives this description:

 

"Allen, Richard (1 slave); Occupant; Stephen Whallen; 194A; pt. Amsterdam; hewd log dwlg hse, 1 story, 22x20; round log stble 14x12; round log hse 14x12; round log barn, 1stry, 32x20." (Source: Horvath?, George J., Carroll/Baltimore 1798 Direct Tax.)

 

Although we were unable to determine the exact location of Richard Allen's Amsterdam when we visited the Randallstown area in July 2000, it is worth mentioning that we did find a number of Allens buried in Ward's Chapel west of Randallstown at the corner of Liberty and Ward's Chapel Road, close to the Carroll Co. border.  Allen's Road which is just east of Ward's, winds down to a large, renovated house circa 1760 which was owned by Allens in the first half of this century; descendants of the family still live in the area. Unfortunately, a quick survey of Ward's Chapel Cemetery indicates that these Allens are probably all descendants of Phillip Allen (1798-1851) and Charity.

 

As to Richard Nun Allen, his will was written March 1824 and probated 2 March, 1828, indicating that he probably died around 1828. ("Baltimore County Will Book," 13) He mentions his wife Sarah, and although he leaves his estate to his children, he does not name them. Richard Allen was not located during a preliminary search of Randallstown area cemeteries, nor was there any reference to him at the Maryland Historical Society. The Baltimore and Carroll Historical Societies should probably also be checked.  As his daughter Dorothea Elizabeth was baptized in St. Thomas Parish, Garrison Forest, Baltimore Co., the year before he died, the cemetery relevant to this area should also be determined.

 

According to Pat Woodson in an e-mail dated Apr. 15, 2001, a Third Administrative Accounting of the Will of Richard Allen named five children:  Robert T.P. Allen, Ebenezer N. Allen, Richard N. Allen, William H. Allen, and Dorothea Elizabeth Allen.  This document was dated January 21, 1830.  It appeared that Sarah (Hughes) originally "renounced" her claim to her bequest ( May 2, 1828).   Pat adds "As I understand it, a "renunciation" was supposed to mean that a person did not want to serve as the administrator(trix)  when this happened.  The Will is really difficult to read, and there seems to be parts of the Will of someone else mingled in with Richard's.  At any rate, there was an accountant who actually had three separate accountings which covered the paying and collecting of debts, the selling of slaves and other personal property, etc."

 

 

Notes for Elizabeth JOHNSON:

Elizabeth's funeral services were performed by Rev. John Allen in St. George's Parish, Spesutia. Although there is no tombstone for her, she is probably buried close to her sister Dorothy.

 

 

Notes for Dorothy JOHNSON:

Dorothy's gravestone, near Rev. John's and her sister Brasseya and her niece, Mrs. Sarah Bond (a.k.a. Allen and Hughes) is crumbling. The inscription just says "D.Allen" and the final digit of her death date is missing. Her stone also seems to indicate that the person died in their 94th year, but at least the first digit must be wrong. Fortunately, the funeral of "Dorothy Allen, Dec. 27, 1811" has been extracted from a register of funerals in St. George's Parish (Spesutia) by Rev. John Allen.

Notes for Sarah HUGHES:

According to a letter written by Katherine Forwood, Sarah was the daughter of Mary Johnson. Sarah's mother Mary is believed to have been the sister of Dorothy and Brasseya Johnson, two sisters who married two Allen brothers and immigrated to America, accompanied by their niece Sarah. Following her aunt Dorothy's premature death, Sarah married Richard Allen.

 

After Richard Allen's death, Sarah also married Thomas Bond and bore him one or two daughters. Presumably her age is inaccurate during the 1850 Federal Census when she is found living with Thomas W. Bond, age 69 and their daughter, Adeline, age 15, or she would have been only ten when she married her first husband. (District No. 2, Franklin Co., Kentucky, p.58)

 

Sarah is buried under the name "Mrs. Sarah Bond," next to her uncle Rev. John and her aunt Brasseya (Johnson) Allen's monument. There are no references to her husbands or her children except for her inscription which reads: "Mother Thou art at rest for the Lord is Thy Keeper."  She is referred to as "Mrs Sarah Bond, born in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, Jan 1796; died Cheltenham, PA, Oct 31, 1868 in her 75th year."  Her monument is coffin shaped with a cross running its length.

 

The Genealogy of the Hughes Family 1636-1795, by Renna Craug Ambrose, which is available at the Harford County Historical Society in Bel Air, Maryland, has incorrectly identified the daughter of John Hall Hughes and Ann Everett, Sarah Mitchell Hughes (b.1780), as the person who married Richard Allen in 1812.

        70.  Robert5 ALLEN (Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born Abt. 1768 in Latimerstown, Barony of Forth, Wexford, Ireland, and died 18 Mar 1827 in Rathaspeck, Wexford, Ireland38.  He married Mary CARTY 12 Sep 1794 in Wexford, Ireland, daughter of John? CARTY and Mary?.  She was born Abt. 1774 in Ireland, and died 20 Mar 1855.

 

Notes for Robert ALLEN:

A farmer, Robert was also described as a timber merchant in 1820 and 1824 business directories for Wexford, Ireland. A list of the names of his children and their birth dates was found among the papers of his grandson, Benjamin William Allen. His children are also referred to by name in the 1806 will of his nephew, William Allen of Johnstown.  Robert was evidently born during one of the gaps in the St. Iberius Church registers (1752-1780).  However, his death register states he died "aged 59 years."

 

Robert Allen occupied Latimerstown during the 1798 Rebellion, so we were curious to find out which side the Allens were on, and we found out in Eamonn Barrett's "Reluctant Rebel: the Story of Cornelius Grogan of Johnstown Castle and the 1798 Rebellion in the Surrounding Area."  Barrett had this to say on page 17:  "On 29th May, Grogan arranged for two swivel guns to be sent from Johnstown to Wexford where they might be of assistance to the Loyalist forces there.  On the same day he met with Robert Allen* of Latimerstown, and asked him to send provisions to Wexford. The latter was reluctant to do so without guarantee of payment."

 

Robert's reluctance did not stop him from claiming losses, however. He lost cattle, provisions, wine, whiskey, a car and tackle to the value of 188-5-9 quid. Unfortunately his elderly neighbour Cornelius Grogan of Johnstown Castle lost his head.  He was executed on the Wexford Town Bridge over the Slaney River; a servant fished his head out of the water and secretly buried it in Rathaspeck Cemetery where the Allens also rest.  In 1998, during the Bicentennial of the 1798 Rebellion, a memorial was finally erected to his name outside the boarded up church in the decaying cemetery.

 

*The writer does not specify whether this was Robert Sr or Robert Jr, but although both Roberts were adults during the 1798 Rebellion, Robert Sr was Grogan's contemporary.

 

Here are some extracts from an undated letter sent to Robert's brother-in-law George Pounder in Perth, Ontario, Canada from Joseph Pounder in Wexford, Ireland regarding Robert Allen's death:

 

" I need not mention Robert Allen. I suppose you have heard of his illness.  He have been attacked with some kind of swelling, not mutch [sic] known. Was in Dublin with the most eminent phisissians [sic] and given over and since attended by Doctor Crane, but now a quack doctor have taken him in hand and by (h)erbs is making a great cure and is expected will recover him... Now the time of assises the 12th of March I have been in Wexford and am able to tell you he is, I thought, but is no more..."   It looks like  Robert Allen died between the writing of the first sentence and the completion of the  final sentence of this excerpt.  In the same letter Joseph talks about the politics and strife regarding the potential "emansipasion" [sic] of the Irish Catholics.  Later in the same letter Joseph Pounder wrote: "Poor Mr Allen is greatly lamented. He have, as I am told, suffered a great deal and happy for him to be taken out of sutch misery... This is our Saint's Day Patrick and have drank your health and success, also the day of Mr Allen's funeral which being so desperate I did not attend. "

        71.  William5 ALLEN (Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 03 Nov 1769 in Wexford, Ireland, and died 19 Aug 1860.  He married Hannah BOND 12 Apr 1798 in St. George's (Spesutia) Church, Perryman, Harford Co., Maryland, United States, daughter of Thomas BOND and Catherine FELL.  She was born 1779, and died 09 Aug 1850.

 

Notes for William ALLEN:

According to the 1978 Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin which contains excerpts from the Allen-Raymond Bible: "William Allen, son of Robert & Hannah Allen, of Wexford in the Kingdom of Ireland, born on the 3rd November 1769. Sailed from Cork the 23 August 1794, and landed in Philadelphia the 19the of the October following.

 

Also recorded in this source were the births of William's children, some of their deaths and the marriage of his youngest daughter, Mary Louisa Fell to Samuel W. Raymond. Mary's children were included.

 

There are quite a number of transations involving William which show up in the land records at the Maryland State Archives, including one in 1796 where James Berard sold to William Allen, merchant, five horses (including one which was blind in one eye) and a wagon.

 

Although most of William's children were baptized in Havre de Grace as late as 1817, he is believed to have lived in Abingdon as early as Feb 1798 when he bought land at a public auction. This land was supposed to be on the NW corner of Paca and Prospect Streets, fronting Paca Street. He also sold some land in 1800 to his brother Ebenezer for a $1000. A land deed available at the Maryland State Archives indicates that William and Ebenezer gave land and buildings in Abingdon to the state as a school, the Abington Academy. However, this academy may have been

inaugorated under another name since as there is a memorial in Cokesbury Meth. Cemetery to a similar, short-lived school in Abingdon. (Harford Co. Deeds, WK 813-2)

 

William's monumental inscription reads: "native of Wexford, Ireland, lived in Harford Co. 60 years, member of M.E. Church. Died Aug. 19, 1860-91st year."

 

Possible descendants who are also buried in Cokesbury include "Doc" Herbert D. Allen, a horse trainer and conditioner who lived at Joppa, Abingdon, owned "Allen's Cabin Town" on Rt. 40 and died Jul 30, 1960; also Herbert's son James H. Allen who died May 7,1930, age 68.

Notes for Hannah BOND:

The Bonds are believed to have been Quakers. Hannah was the daughter of Thomas Bond and Catherine Fell, something which is also verified by a database called "Gene Pool Individual Records" online ancestry.com.

 

Other online sources indicate that Hannah's father Thomas was the son of Thomas Bond and Elizabeth Scott; her mother Catherine was the daughter of William Fell (20 May 1697, Lancashire, England-1746/48, Baltimore, MD) who married Sarah Bond 8 Jan. 1732 and owned substantial property in and around Baltimore. William Fell's parents were Edward Fell and Ann Perry; Sarah Bond's parents were Thomas Bond and Ann Robinson. (Source: Pat Woodson's correspondent, Nick Sheedy.)

Notes for George ALLEN:

"The son of a London physician who died in financial straits, George Allen was brought to (New South Wales) Australia by his widowed mother and became the first solicitor to be trained in this country. An active Wesleyan, he established what became a successful legal firm. He married Jane Bowden in 1823 and she produced five boys and five girls who survived infancy, the most noteworthy, historically, being George Wigram Allen in 1824. By 1831 he had acquired 96 acres of Glebe land and commissioned John Verge to build Toxteth Park, the foundation stone for which was laid on 21 March 1829.

 

George Allen also led an active public life, serving as Mayor of Sydney [1844-45), President of the Bank of NSW (1860-66), MLC   (1845-73) and Fellow of the Senate at the University of Sydney (1859-77). Today the legal firm of Allen, Allen & Hemsley still maintains a  high profile in Sydney and their corporate contemporary art collection, exceeding 1,000 paintings, embraces the theme of art in the workplace."

Notes for George Wigram ALLEN:

Sir George Wigram Allen (1824-85)

        

Sir George Wigram Allen Son of Jane and the previously-named George Allen, who was articled to his father, he entered  the law practice in 1847, which continued to expand as a thriving enterprise. He also inherited his father's enthusiasm for religion (helping to create the YMCA), public affairs (Member of the Legislative Council 1860-61), the University of  Sydney Senate (1878-85) and business.   G.W. Allen was also involved in the incorporation of Glebe as a municipality, becoming its first Mayor in 1859, a post he held     for 18 years. From 1869-82 he represented Glebe in the Legislative Assembly, was Speaker from 1875-82 and for these many services was knighted in 1884. During that time he sponsored the reclamation of Wentworth Park and, together with Edmund Blacket and Glebe council members, was responsible for Glebe's water supply and gas lighting as well as the construction of new streets. The Allens, both father and son, were keen cricketers and built a private ground in what is now bounded by Glebe Point and Toxteth Roads and Mansfield and Boyce Streets. It was here that Frederick Spofforth, a great bowler who lived in Derwent Street, frequently played.

 

Upon his father's death in 1877 he made extensive additions to Toxteth Park, when a third storey, tower and ballroom were added. However Sir George did not live so long after his father and subsequently this stalwart Wesleyan's house, in 1901, was sold to the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, a Benedictine Order, which is today St. Scholastica's College. He had amassed a fortune of 300,000 pounds by the time of his death.

 

Lady Allen's charitable interests helped to establish the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, which until quite recently focused on the health of Sydney's children -- the hospital is now closed and the large site is developing into a new housing area to be known as the City Quarter.  <http://www.glebesociety.org.au/AboutGlebe/History/GWAllen.htm> November 2003

 

 

        105.  Dr. Richard Nun6 ALLEN (John5, Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 11 Dec 1797 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States49, and died 27 Apr 1835 in Savage Factory, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland, United States.  He married (1) Elizabeth Gittings GOVER 17 Feb 1819 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States50.  She was born 28 Dec 1798, and died 26 Jun 1827.  He married (2) Adeline MILLER 02 Sep 1828 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States51, daughter of Edward MILLER.  She was born Mar 1801 in Harpers Ferry, Virginia, United States, and died 13 Apr 1834 in Maryland, United States.

 

Notes for Dr. Richard Nun ALLEN:

Richard Nun Allen became an attorney..."a man of marked ability and talent...(however) while speaking in public upon one occasion, he burst a blood vessel and the injury sustained debarred him from further practice at the Bar. He then began a study of medicine but died soon afterward in 1835 when his children were small." (Source: Biographical Record of Harford and Cecil Counties, Maryland, Family Line Publications, Westminster, MD, 1989, p.418.)

 

Richard was the father of seven children, not all of them identified. One of Elizabeth Gover's children may be missing. His obituary was published in "American" May 4, 1835 and "National Intelligencer," May 6, 1835.

Notes for Katherine "Katie" S. FORWOOD:

Katherine described herself as the daughter of a poor country daughter who had left her and her sister a small house in Maryland.

 

In order to support herself, she was working as a private secretary for "an extremely busy manager of a business house on W. 27th St." in New York and was making $900.00 a year when she corresponded with family historian, Benjamin William Allen in 1904 and 1905. Echoing author Ayn Rand who arrived in New York about the same time, she writes: "Everything is on such tremendous scale here that one can not fail to be impressed by that fact first. Afterward, the monumental and stupendous business undertakings appeal to you. I wonder if you understand me when I call it inspiring?"

 

About herself she said: "I am 36 years old but more generally taken for 26, being small and slight, and with considerable animation." She had some interest in the family history, making a couple of references in her letters to her desire to research the history of William Johnson.

 

Katherine is believed to have married late in life, an older man who was her second cousin once removed. According to another letter written in 1906 by a woman who identified herself as the eldest daughter of Edward Miller Allen and signed her name as Mrs. Thomas Archer Haye, one of the daughters of Dr. Wm Stump Forwood had recently married her father's half-brother, Dr. Robert Gover Allen. Mrs. Haye added that the bride was about 40 and that the groom was about 85. Although Dr. Robert Gover Allen's death date is unknown, he is buried with Katherine and her second  husband, Count Viscardo G. Santi in Darlington Cemetery, Maryland.

        108.  Robert Thomas Pritchard6 ALLEN (Richard Nunn5, Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 26 Sep 1813 in Baltimore Co., Maryland, United States, and died 09 Jul 1888 in Kissimmee, Orange Co., Florida, United States.  He married Julia A. DICKINSON 07 Jul 1834 in Harford Co., Maryland, United States, daughter of Jacob DICKINSON and Martha BOND.  She was born 1814 in Tennessee, United States.

 

Notes for Robert Thomas Pritchard ALLEN:

RTP Allen resided in Randallstown, Baltimore Co., Maryland, the son of an impoverished Irish-born widow, the former Sarah Hughes.  He received his early education from his tutor Rector Charles C. Austin at St. Thomas Church in Baltimore Co. He lived four or five miles from the church and walked there every day.

 

When he applied to West Point, his uncle John Allen wrote: "I take the liberty of recommending to your friendly attention my nephew Mr. Robert T.P. Allen, who is a candidate for admission to the academy at West Point. He has made considerable proficiency in the study of the Greek and Latin languages and the Mathematics, and has for some timepast pursued his studies as a pupil of mine, and I consider him a young man of very good talents, and of industrious, sober and regular habits." (A copy of this letter, which was dated 9 Feb 1830, was obtained by Pat Woodson from West Point.)

 

After graduating fifth from his class in West Point in 1834, Robert used his commission from his brief service in the Seminole War to become,in turn, a civil engineer; a Methodist minister; and a professor successively at Allegheny College in Pennyslvania, at Transylvania University in Kentucky and Kentucky Military Institute, the latter which he founded. He moved to the Far West in 1849 and worked as a special agent for the Unites Post Office Department in California and Oregon. He later owned and published the San Francisco Pacific News before moving in 1857 to Texas where he founded the Bastrop (TX) Military Institute. There the cadets reportedly loved and honoured him.

 

During the Civil War, he was a Colonel in the Confederate army from 1861-1865. He was placed in charge of Camp Clark, a camp of instruction on the San Marcos River near Martindale. He briefly commanded the Fourth Texas Infantry Regiment, but "although a man of thorough military education...he was not acceptable to either men or officers.  In fact, the high-spirited Texans literally drove him from their camp on his horse because of the reputation as a "Rarin,' Tearin,' Pitchin,'" martinet that he attained while supervising their training at Camp Clark. (Source: The New Texas Handbook Online) His half-niece, Katherine S. Forwood had this to say about her uncle in 1905: "One of my mother's half-brothers was...Col. Robt. T.P. Allen (nicknamed Rearin' Tearin' Pitchin' Allen), a brilliant, but erratic character who caused his relations many sorrowful hours by his misdirected talents."

 

The New Texas Handbook goes on to say that Allen re-surfaced at Bastrop and on 26 Feb 1862, recruited the Seventeenth Texas Infantry Regiment of John G.Walker's Texas Division, which he commanded until November 1863, when he was given charge of Camp Ford, a prisoner of war camp near Tyler. There is some evidence that as a compassionate Christian, Allen drew the appreciation of prisoners and the condemnation of guards and local inhabitants, leading some to attribute his subsequent removal

or withdrawal from Camp Ford to the sympathies he showed the enemies of the Confederacy. (Source: Librarian Vicki Betts, University of Texas) In any case, Robert Allen must have been conflicted; members of his own family, including his brother-in-law, Civil war financier Jay Cooke, were fighting on the other side.

 

After the war Robert was helped by this very brother-in-law to regain his old position as superintendent of Kentucky Military Institute, where he continued to serve until 1874. Kentucky placed no restrictions on military schools, such as those placed on Bastrop Military School in Texas where Robert's dream of providing military educations for the sons of planters had collapsed.

 

Robert Allen drowned while fishing in the Kissimmee River in Florida.

Information about RTP Allen was also found in the following article from Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 5th ed., 1887, Franklin Co.:  "GEN. R.T.P. ALLEN was born in Baltimore County, Md., September 26, 1813, and is a son or Richard and Sarah (Hughes) Allen, both of Ireland.  Gen. Allen graduated at the military academy at West Point in 1834; went into the Third Artillery, but served with the topographical engineers one year, until the Florida war; served as lieutenant of artillery in Gen. Scott's campaign against the Seminoles, when he resigned to go as a civil engineer in the government service, building harbors on Lake Erie, where he was engaged until the fall of 1838.  He then resigned and became professor of the chair of mathematics and civil engineering in Alleghany College, at Meadville, Penn., where he remained until 1841, when he was appointed to the same chair of Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky., which he remained until 1845.  In the fall of that year he established the Kentucky Military Institute, continuing until 1849 as superintendent, when he was appointed by President Taylor to take charge of the postoffice department of California and Oregon, which duty he performed until 1851.  He then resigned and came back to Kentucky, to Franklin County, and resumed the position of superintendent of the Kentucky Military Institute, which he retained until 1854; then resigned and went to Cleveland, Ohio, and engaged until 1857 in general business, but principally in the coal business.  In 1857 he went to Texas and established the Bastrop Military Institute; continued as superintendent of the school until the late war, when he closed the school and raised a regiment for the Confederate Army and went into the field in 1862.  He remained two years and was then appointed to take charge of the prison camp near Tyler, Tex., where he remained one year; then resigned and took charge of the school in Texas again and remained until 1866; resigned and came to Franklin County, Ky., and resumed charge of the Kentucky Military Institute and continued as superintendent until 1874.  Then his son, Col. Robert D. Allen, became superintendent, and the General became professor of the chair of mathematics, and continued until 1877, when he resigned and moved to Florida.  There he engaged in orange culture until 1884, but in the meantime, from 1877 to 1884, was engaged in steamboat transportation between Lakes Tohopokaliga and Ocheechobee, Florida. (He was also listed as a fruit grower in the 1880 United States census in Precinct 3, Orange, Florida.)  In 1884 he returned to the Kentucky Military Institute and became professor of natural science, and still holds that position.  His son, Col. Robert D. Allen, is the superintendent, and John T. Gray the business manager.  Gen. Allen was married July 8, 1834, to Julia A. Dickinson, of Nashville, Tenn., daughter of Jacob T. and Patsy (Bond) Dickinson, and great-granddaughter of Fell, who once owned the eastern part of Baltimore, Md.  Two children blessed this union: Robert D. Allen, whose first wife was Miss Laura Sims, of Texas, by whom he had four children, of whom one only survives.  Miss Minnie Green, of Louisville, Ky., is his second wife.  Maj. Robert Sims Allen, the only surviving child, is now commandant of cadets at the Kentucky Military Institute.  John Howard Allen is the general's second son, and is now practicing law in Orlando, Fla.  He married Miss Sallie Bell, of Texas, and has five children: Howard J., Jay Cooke, Walter, Mary B. and Percy.  Mrs. Sallie B. Allen died in 1886.  Gen. Allen and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and he has been an elder for a number of years. He is also a Knight Templar.  The secret of Gen. Allen's success in both public and private life rests in his stanch adherence to principle, his energy, his accuracy and a thorough performance of every duty.  He is modest with regard to himself, unselfish and thoroughly amiable in disposition."

Notes for Julia A. DICKINSON:

Julia may have been the daughter of "Patsy" Martha D., a woman who married: 1. Jacob T. Dickinson; 2. Ebenezer Nun Allen, Sr.

 

Both the Col. and Mrs. Julia Allen had proved popular with students and with adults outside Bastrop Military School, Texas. The Texas Christian Advocate described Julia as "a free, open-hearted, affectionate lady.  In her the cadets all find a kind, sympathizing friends,a lways in flow of spirits, ready to encourage and stimulate them in their arduous studies; and if anything should be the matter, she nurses them as though she was their own mother."

The following biography of Richard Nun Allen is from THE HISTORY OF CASS AND BATES COUNTIES, MISSOURI (St. Joseph MO: National Historical Company, 1883.), pages 1289-90:

 

MAJOR RICHARD N. ALLEN

was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, December 15, 1819. His parents, Richard N and Sarah (Hughes) Allen, were natives of County Down, Ireland, and settled in Maryland about the year 1796. Richard was the sixth of eleven children, of whom but himself and one brother survive, Colonel Robert T. P. Allen, a graduate of West Point, and who served in the United States Army as lieutenant; he now lives in Florida.  He was also attached to the topographical engineer corps and built the harbours or Silver Creek and Portland on Lake Erie. He founded the Kentucky Military Institute, and during the rebellion was colonel of a Texas regiment, and his son, Robert D. Allen, is the present president of the institute.  In 1836 Mr. Allen assisted his brother Robert in building the two ports just named, and in '38 he entered the Alleghany College at Meadville Pennsylvania, from which institution he graduated in 1840.  He then entered the law office of Hiram L. Richmond, and pursued his law studies one year, and was admitted to the practice or law at the Crawford County bar in 1884.  He had married while attending college, on March 10, 1840, Miss Jeannette Campbell a native of New York, but of Scotch descent.  Mr. Allen practiced law in Pennsylvania for one year and then removed to Kaskaskia, Illinois, and followed the practice of his profession until 1844, being contemporary with such men as Dr. Bissel, Judge Sidney Breeze and General Shields, and he was the cause of the famous quarrel between General Shields and Judge Breeze.  While coming down the Ohio River, on his way to Illinois, his hat in which he carried his certificate, was blown into the dyer  He saved the diploma by jumping into the water. Its becoming wet had effaced the impression of the seal, and for this reason Judge Breeze refused him admittance to the bar.  General Shields made a speech pressing Mr. Allen's claim for recognition.  In his remarks he said something at which Judge Breeze took exception and commanded Shields to take his seat  Shields, with arms folded, replied that "If the court please I prefer to stand."  The second time the Judge made the command.  Shields' reply was the same.  The Judge fined him ten dollars.  The General pulled out his pocket book and paid it.  The Judge made the same demand the third time.  The same reply was made.  A fine of twenty dollars was entered and as quickly paid. The General refused the fourth time and he was remanded to jail.  To jail he went, accompanied by his friends.  He was released the next morning.  The result was Shields challenged Judge Breeze, and upon his refusing to fight the General published him as a coward.  In 1844 Mr. Allen went to Sweet Lick Spring, Kentucky, where he practiced for two years.  In 1846 he accepted a professorship in the Kentucky Military Institute, which he filled until 1849.  In company with his brother, with whom he had been connected in the institute, he went to California. Robert having received the appointment of Assistant Postmaster General to establish post offices and post routes.  He engaged in mining one summer, and in the following winter he and his brother purchased a one-half interest in the Pacific News paying therefor $24,000.  In 1850 the first steam press on the Pacific coast was secured and put in operation.  General Winchester, of New York, was employed as editor and Mr. Allen himself was city editor.  In the winter of 1850 the building, press, and everything connected with the office was burned, making a loss of $80,000.  Major Allen was in New York at the time of the fire and never went back to California  In 1852 he returned to the institute and until the outbreak of the war held the position of quarter- master  During the war he engaged in farming, and was employed by Jay Cook, who is his brother-in-law Mr. C. having married his only sister, to establish agencies in Missouri and Kansas for the sale of 5-20 and 7-30 bonds  The institute having revived in 1866 he was given the same position, which he continued to hold until 1873 when he resigned In 1875 he came to Bates County and has since been occupied in farming, having a farm of 320 acres.  He has nine children: Sarah (wife of John B. Batchellor, of Deepwater); William H. a physician of Rich Hill, his wife was a Miss Ara Sims, of Texas; Emma Jane died at the age of twenty-three years, at Frankfort; Robert T. P., his first wife was a niece of Colonel Samuel P. Hawkins, and died in 1876, he has recently married Miss Libbie Katron, of Vernon County; Richard N. at home; Ebenezer N., a physician at Coolidge, Kansas; Hugh C., at home; Jacob D., recently graduated from the Military Institute; and Elizabeth Cook, at home.  In politics Major Allen is a Democrat.  He is a member of the Methodist Church, South, and has been a Mason for upwards of thirty years, having joined the order in San Francisco.

Notes for Sarah J. ALLEN:

Richard Noel Allen was  also found in the 1900 Federal Census, Richard and Jannett Allen's daughter, Sarah J. was living on a farm in Deepwater Twp., Bates Co. MO, with her husband John B. Batchelor, a farmer.  It shows she was age 59, born in Pennsylvania, January, 1841, and his age was 63, born in Kentucky, March, 1837.  It indicates her father was born in Maryland and mother in New York. They had been married 37 years, thus the date of 6 January 1863 is probably correct.  It also indicates Sarah had given birth to four children with three surviving. 

 

Next door to Sarah and John, lived Richard J. and Batchelor.  Richard, a farmer, was born in August, 1865, in Kentucky.  His wife of two years, Addie P. was born in Missouri, in February, 1875.  They had no children.

Notes for Jay COOKE:

Colonial families of the United States of America: Volume , p. 107 <www.ancestry.com>

JAY COOKE, b. at Sandusky, Ohio, 10th August, 1821; d. 16th February, 1905; received a private school education; first engaged in business in the then frontier town of St. Louis, Mo., and became proficient in French, mathematics and penmanship. Later removed to Philadelphia and was connected with the firm of E. W. Clarke & Co., until 1856, and was interested in the financing of almost every Rail Road of the country up to 1856. In 1861 founded the firm of Jay Cooke & Co., of which his brother-in-law, Wm. G. Morehead, was a partner. Negotiated the Pennsylvania State Loan, which re-established the credit of the State. During the Civil War Mr. Cooke was appointed the sole subscription agent for the United States Treasury, and floated enormous loans for the Government. Gen'l U. S. Grant said during the Civil War of Jay Cooke, “He is doing more than all the [p.107] Generals in the Army; for without him we could not do any fighting.” After the war was largely instrumental in enabling the Government to resume specie payments. Financed the Northern Pacific Railway, which was his last great undertaking. He was a sincere and earnest Christian; his wants were simple and he delighted in aiding others; m. 21st August, 1844, Dorothea Elizabeth ALLEN, dau. of Richard Nun ALLEN of Randallstown, Md., and his wife Sara HUOHES, b. January, 1793, County Wicklow, Ireland; d. 31st October, 1866, at Cheltenham, Pa

 

Jay Cooke was a noted 19th century banker, who was interested in the financing of almost every rail road of the country up to 1856. In 1861, he founded the firm of Jay Cooke & Co., of which his brother-in-law, Wm. G. Moorhead, was a partner. He negotiated the Pennsylvania State Loan, which re-established the credit of the State. During the Civil War, Mr. Cooke was appointed the sole subscription agent for the United States Treasury and floated enormous loans for the government. As such, he was on the opposite side of the war to his Confederate brother-in-laws and their sons, which must have caused some bad feelings between Dorothea and her brothers. However, after the War, Jay Cooke literally showered positions and opportunities, loans and gifts upon his family, including his Confederate in-laws.

 

Jay had met his wife when he stopped at Meadville, Pennsylvania where his brother, Henry D. Cooke, was a student at Allegheny College.  Professor R.T.P. Allen was President of institution. His 15 year old

sister, Dorothea Elizabeth Allen, was visiting at the time.  After her return to Baltimore and his return to Philadelphia, no great distance separated them until the spring of 1843 when Dorothea went with her

mother and brother to Lexington, Kentucky where her brother was to begin working at Transylvania University.

 

The following is from The Washington Post of 16 February 1905:

 

JAY COOKE DEAD AT OGONTZ

 Famous Financier Succumbs to the Debility of Old Age

Philadelphia, Feb. 16. - Jay Cooke, whose fame as a financier is world-wide, died tonight at the home of his son-in-law, Charles D. Barney, at Ogontz, a suburb of this city.  Mr. Cooke was eighty-three years of age.  He had been complaining of the result of general debility, the result of old age, for several years.  His condition was not considered serious, however, and his death to-night came rather suddenly.  Last Monday he entertained as his guests 125 young ladies attending the Ogontz school and their friends.  On that occasion he appeared to be in good spirits, and was the last to leave the reception-room.   Mr. Cooke's family, relatives, and friends were notified of his illness early to-day, and many of them, including Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Barney and Jay Cooke, jr., his children, were present when he died.  Few, except his closest neighbours, knew that he was ill.   From the day of his retirement from active work in financial circles, about twenty years ago, to the day of his final illness, Mr. Cooke was never an idle man.  He maintained many business interests, but much of his time was spent in hunting and fishing, either at "Ogontz Lodge," in Lycoming County, Pa., or in the bass fishing waters at Put-in-Bay, Lake Eire.  At the time of his death he was the owner of large tracts of land in the West.

Notes for Richard Maurice ALLEN:

Richard is rumoured to have committed suicide when he lost several of his uninsured ships, but this has not been verified. Former Wexford Town librarian, Celestine Rafferty, found a death notice for Richard in one newspaper, Wexford People, but she found no obituary. His death notice said that he died at his residence in Anne Street in his 64th year. Celestine suggested the Wexford Independent might have an obituary, but Ireland does not have this newspaper on microfilm. She also looked up his death certificate, which says that he died at age 65 of a weakened heart (uncertified) and dropsy (she wasn't certain of this, the handwriting was terrible). The death certificate gives Anne Street as his address, probably the same place where two Allen spinsters ( Anne Jane H., age 64 and Mary, age 62) were living during the 1901 Census.

 

There were two ships belonging to the "Allens of Wexford" which were wrecked in Robert's time:

"The 83 ton schooner Vivid owned by Allens of Wexford was discharging cargo at Cahore on 15-9-1868.  Her anchor dragged and she grounded quarter of a mile offshore.  Her master James Storey and the crew of four were saved by lifeboat."

Also:

"The brig Ripple of Wexford owned by Messrs Allen struck the Tuskar in fog on 16-1-1870.  She carried Indian corn from Ibrael in Galletz near Constantinople.  She saw Ballycotton and kept off the coast.  When she approached Tuskar the bell was not ringing and she struck the rock.  The crew escaped into the jolly boat and rowed the 16 miles to Wexford."

Source: Bourke, Edward J.  "Shipwrecks of the Irish Coast 1105-1993," Dublin, Ireland, 1994.

 

According to Nicolas Rossiter's book Wexford Port--A History, concerning the brothers Richard, Maurice and Robert Allen:  "their trade extended to four continents from offices near the present North Railway Station.  Most of their vessels were built in Canada and they were involved in the fruit and grain trades, Galaty in Rumania being one of their destinations. Their baroque "Wexford" of 307 tons, bought in 1851 carried emigrants to Savannah in New Orleans, returning with cotton for Liverpool. A Captain Codd commanded her.  Other Allen ships were Forth, Selskar, Menapia,Esperia,Rapid, a schooner "Annie" skippered by Big Ned Reilly and another called "Spray" under Jemmy Storey." (p.21)

 

Richard travelled to Quebec about 1825 on one of his father's ships, or so his youngest son, Benjamin William Allen wrote. 

 

Although Richard was a ship owner, he was described as a "timber/slate merchant" in the 1846 Slater Directory.  "R.& R. Allen" was located at Custom Quay House, Wexford and high on a hill overlooking his business and the River Slaney, was his magnificent home, "Elmville."   It is not known when Richard lost or sold Elmville or when the house changed its name, but the exterior and the general locality of the home is described in at least one book (circa 1862), so we know it existed then.  The house is believed to have been reincarnated as Farnoque and Mount St. Joseph and to this day, the Allens of Wexford are still remembered as a family who made their money in  timber.

 

The loss of "Elmville" may have also coincided with the sale of the family silver. Only one silver spoon remains, but it is engraved with the family crest and the initials "R.M.A."  The existence of this spoon is very significant, since it confirms that the family crest predated Benjamin William Allen, and was not his invention.

Notes for Anne "Jane" Hatton ALLEN:

Ann Jane was living with her younger sister Mary during the 1901 Wexford Town Census on some kind paid annuity. Her age was given as 64, although her baptismal register indicates that she must have been a few years older. Her household also included a 24 year old servant girl. None of the women were married. Benjamin William Allen does not appear to have stayed with his sisters when he visited Wexford Town in the early 1900s. Their names are also missing from his list of siblings.

Notes for Rev. Thomas WHITE:

Latimerstown mortgage papers drawn up between William Allen and Rev. Richard Allen White and Robert John Allen on 28 Dec 1881 refer to an earlier settlement dated 9 Apr 1828, which was executed prior to the marriage of "the said Thomas White and Hannah Nunn Allen." This "indenture of marriage settlement...(was) made between Rev. Thomas White of the first part, Mary Allen and Hannah Nunn Allen of the second part...the said Mary Allen assigned to William White and John Allen in trust for Hannah Nunn Allen."  Less than two weeks earlier on 31 Mar 1828, a lease had been made by Arthur Annesley to Mary Allen for Little Latimerstown a.k.a. Starvehall, so this marriage settlement may refer to this property.

 

This document also lists the children of Thomas White and Hannah Nunn Allen as follows: Mary Allen White, Ellen Forster (White) Mason, William White, Robert Allen White, Thomas White (deceased), Richard Allen White, Isabella Frances Lupidge (White) Richardson.

 

The above information was extracted in June 1998 from papers in the possession of Mrs. Eleanor Doyle, the current owner of Latimerstown in Wexford, Ireland.

Notes for  Hannah Pounder:

Obit Sarnia Observer August 12, 1892, page 7

              OUR OLDEST INHABITANT GONE

Died at Corunna Ont on Friday 5th August 1892.  Hannah N. Perry, wife of Mr. John Perry, of that place, in the 84th year of her age.  Deceased was the last survivor of the settlers of 1832.  In that year, with her first husband Mr. William Scott, she immigrated from Lanark County Ont., and located on lot 54 Front Con Moore, where they succeeded in establishing a comfortable home for themselves and rising family. After some years of toil, Mr. Scott and three of their children died of fever, a disease incidental to pioneer life. Mrs Scott, with two surviving children, struggled on, improving her homestead. After some years she married Mr. John Perry, and started life anew with him on his farm, leaving her son, William Scott, who now had become of age, in charge of the Scott farm.  After years of toil and the care of a young family, Mr. and Mrs. Perry succeeded in securing a competency sufficient to enable them to retire and settle down in Corunna, where they spent their remaining days in peace and comfort. Deceased leaves, beside her son Wm. Scott, two daughters, Mrs. H. A. Seward and Mrs. R. Watson, of Corunna, together with her bereaved husband to mourn their loss.  Thus one by one we all passaway, and the places that now know us soon shall know us no more. Corunna August 8th 1892  COM

Notes for Edward Miller ALLEN:

Edward was raised in the home of an (unidentifed) aunt who would have sent him to Darlington Academy, "but the bent of his mind was in the direction of business affairs, rather than literary attainments, and he preferred to take charge of her estate, which he did very successfully...  (He later also owned and opereated Stafford Mill on Deer Creek.)

 

In 1881, Mr. Allen was elected on the Republican ticket as a representative of Harford Co. in the state senate and during his term of office was chiefly remarkable for his aggressive disposition. He made a strong fight for low taxes etc...

 

In 1890, he was admitted to the Bel Air bar. He was also a member of the Maryland Historical Society and strongly favored every means for perpetuating the memory of our early settlers and men...Mr. Allen, assisted by friends and at their own expense, had placed many paintings of prominent Harford men in a Bel Air courtroom." (Source: Biographical Record of Harford and Cecil Counties, Maryland, Family Line Publications, Westminster, MD, 1989, p.418)

 

One of Edward's papers which he read to the Maryland Historical Society, June 14, 1886, is also available the Society's library: "Lafayette's Second Expedition to Virginia in 1781."

 

Possible descendants include Dr. Robert G. Allen who died in Darlington, MD June 24, 1906.

Notes for Samuel C. ALLEN:

"Samuel C. Allen was eight years old when his mother died in Kentucky and from that time until 1861 he lived with his grandmother, Mrs. Martha Bond, who had married Thomas Bond as her second husband. She was quite wealthy and a large slave-owner. His grandparents both died in Kentucky. In August, 1861, in company with six other men Mr. Allen came up the Ohio River to Portsmouth, Ohio, and from there up the Ohio Canal to Jasper, Pike County, and then to Marion County. The party consisted of Mr. Allen, James, Alexander, Jesse and William Dean, John Irons and Edward Freeman. The two last named returned to Pike County, Ohio. William Dean is a resident of Marion and Jesse Dean is residing in Richwood, Ohio. When Mr. Allen left Kentucky, he had but $5 and when he landed in Marion County, he was without a penny. He first located at LaRue and obtained work, driving four yoke of oxen for six or eight months, starting at $1 per day and at the end of eight months receiving $3 a day. He had been reared in town and knew scarcely anything of farm work. At the end of eight months he engaged in cutting logs for a, mill, making from $7 to $I I per day. Toward the close of the Civil War, he purchased a tract of 51 1/2 acres, all in timber, although he had not a dollar to pay for the same. He moved to the property soon after purchasing it, erected a little log cabin about 14 feet square and began clearing the land. He chopped cord wood for the railroad in order to pay for the land, and put out the last contract for the "Big Four" Railroad. He got out wood and made ties for 20 years, also operated a threshing machine and ran saw-mills over the country. He finally paid for the land and also acquired more, at one time being the owner of 500 acres. he has sold some, gave his son 65 acres. and retains his present farm of 257 acres. Mr. Allen at one time paid $900 in taxes. His success in life has been due to energy, perseverance and good business management. He was at one time $10,000 in debt, all of which he has paid off and now owes not one dollar. He met with a severe set-back when one of his saw-mills was destroyed by fire, entailing a total loss of $6,000. When Mr. Allen first came to Marion County, there were but few improved farms and no public roads. he has made all the improvements on his farm the splendid residence he resides in was built about 10 or 12 years ago.

On September 18, 1862, Mr. Allen was married to Cynthia Rizor, who was born in September, 1845, and was a daughter of Elijah Rizor. Two children were born to this union: Alice, born September 22, 1863; and James N., born December 6, 1864. Alice married Miles Longshore, who served for some time as deputy auditor of Marion County and at present is bookkeeper for The Huber Manufacturing Company, of Marion. They have two children living-Frank and Coral-and one daughter deceased. James N. Allen, who is a prominent farmer of Marion township, married Fannie Burge, a daughter of Marshall Burge, and has three children-May, Lester and Annabel. Mrs. Allen died November 14, 1874. Our subject was united in marriage November 23, 1875, with, Nancy B. Schertzer, a daughter of Solomon and Lucinda (Thornton) Schertzer, of Union County, Ohio. One child was born to this second union: Charles Hugh, born January 8, 1882, who is a rural mail carrier in Marion County, and when off duty is engaged in clerking in, the clothing store of James Crowley at LaRue; he married Mamie E. Jones, a daughter of John Wesley and Mary Jones, of Bowling Green township.

 

Mr. Allen formerly owned property in LaRue and for a period of 10 years operated a, lumber yard in the village. He has always been a Democrat and for years took an active interest in the politics of the county. He is a man of enterprise and public spirit, is an excellent conversationalist and is highly entertaining. Mrs. Allen is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Allen accompany this sketch."

Notes for Charles Dennis BARNEY:

Charles was a millionaire according to Katherine S. Forwood who corresponded with family historian Ben Allen in 1905.

 

New York Times Oct 24 1945: "PHILADELPHIA - Charles D. Barney, formerly one of this city's most distinguished financiers and one of the country's eldest Civil War Veterans, died last night in his home in nearby Elkins Park after a long illness. His age was 101. He was born  in Sandusky, Ohio, where his father was a grain merchant. His mother  was the former Elizabeth Caldwell Dennis, a member of an old New York family. Mr. Barney was attending college in Ann Arbor, Mich., when his elder brother, Henry, was killed in the Civil War. After two more years of study he persuaded his mother to permit him to enlist. At the age of 19 he became a corporal in the 145th Regular Ohio Infantry, and helped man fortifications along the Potomac which protected Washington from the cavalry of Gen. Juba. Early. After the war he returned to Sandusky and worked as a clerk and bookkeeper in the Second National Bank, but he quit after two years and came to Philadelphia. About the same time he renwed his acquaintance with Laura E. Cooke, daughter of Jay Cooke, the financier who maintained offices here but returned annually to Sandusky. Mr. Barney became affiliated with the banking house of Jay Cooke and Co. in 1867 and a year later married Mr. Cooke's daughter. The couple went to Europe on their wedding trip and were received in Paris by Empress Egenie. The Cooke bank failed in 1873, and a year later, with Jay Cooke Jr., Mr. Barney founded the brokerage and banking house of Charles D. Barney and Company, which soon became internationally known and was one of the leaders in the stock and bond business on Wall St. Finance alone, however, did not occupy all of Mr. Barney's time. He was an amateur musician, actor and devout churchman, he taught Sunday School in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, where he was rector's warden. Mr. Barney retired in 1906 at the age of 62, but retained his directorships in many organizations until a few years ago.  He traveled extensively with Mrs. Barney until her death in 1918. Later he spent most of his time with his six daughters or traveled to Florida or California, where he spent the winters. When he was 93 he received word that his crony, John D. Rockefeller Sr., had died at 97. "Keep me alive longer than Mr. Rockefeller," he instructed his physician. He said his greatest ambition was realized when he celebrated his 100th anniversary seven years later. Two of his daughters, Mrs. John H. Whittaker and the Baroness Frederick von Hiller, with whom he lived, were at his bedside when he died. He also leaves two other daughters, Mrs. Henry M. Watts and Mrs. Archibald B. Hubbard."

Notes for Emily Bronaugh BARNEY:

The following item is from The Sandusky Star-Journal of 8 November 1907:

“From Philadelphia comes the report of the recently announced engagement of Miss Emily B. Barney and Baron Fritz Von Hiller.  Miss Barney was  presented to society several seasons ago.  She is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Barney, of "Eildon," Ogontz, and a granddaughter of the late Jay Cooke, the celebrated financier.  Baron Fritz von Hiller was formerly lieutenant in the Second Guard, Field Artillery Regiment of the German army and is now residing at Edgeworth, Pa. Miss Barney is well known in Sandusky, having upon several occasions visited in the city with her father.”

        222.  Benjamin William7 ALLEN (Richard Maurice6, Robert5, Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 25 Mar 1853 in Elmville, Wexford Town, Ireland, and died 14 Oct 1918 in Purcell, Bloomfield, Dublin, Ireland.  He married Harriette "Harry" WATERS 07 Feb 1881 in Parish Church, St. George, Dublin, Ireland, daughter of John WATERS and Mary SNOWE.  She was born 03 Mar 1851 in Dublin, Ireland, and died 07 Dec 1928 in 2393 Queen St., E.,  Toronto, Ontario, Canada81.

 

Notes for Benjamin William ALLEN:

None of Ben's siblings appear in the St. Iberius Church registers; he appears to have been born between two major gaps in these records.

 

According to an 1885 business directory, Ben worked as an insurance agent of Main Street in Wexford, Ireland before he went to work as a Manager for the Bank of Ireland.

 

The Bank of Ireland--Mountmellick?--was located in Tipperary. Ben's grandson John A. Allen told me that bank managers maintained flats on the third floor of this building. The bank offices were on the first floor and the kitchens in the basement. Each manager was also given a servant, but  B.W. never made enough money to properly educate his sons. This also suggests that he had inherited nothing from his father, a man who had several sons to finance.

 

In later life, both Benjamin and a cousin became very interested in the family history.  His wife Harriet saved his papers and bought them to Canada when she immigrated. Eventually Ben's grandson, John Annesley Allen, entrusted these papers to me.

 

There is no marriage portrait of Ben and Harry, but several wonderful pictures have survived of their family, depicting seven of the eight children who were born in as many years. Ben is always a dark bearded, pleasant-faced man; Harry is a plain, but aristocratic looking woman with her legacy of thin lips and frizzy hair and the children are inevitably solemn.

 

Both parents appear to have been devoted to their children and devastated by their losses. Ivy Ruth died before the age of two in the same room she was born in. Her parents erected a large monument to her in Tipperary. Much later, two of the boys were killed in action, Arthur Havilland in Oct 1917 and John de Renzi in August 1918.

 

His son's military service papers indicate that Ben was already insane, but his descendants believed that these cataclysmic events tipped the scales.

 

Ben was an Purcell inmate in Bloomfield, Dublin when he died of "acute melancholia."  His wife  Harry was concerned enough about her remaining children and grandchildren inheriting Ben's disease, to request an autopsy. She was relieved to find out that Ben had died of "meningitis" and  that his condition would not affect future generations. 

 

It is doubtful that Ben's diagnosis was meningitis as we currently understand it. Neither the onset of his disease or his demise was sudden or swift.  His deterioration appears to have been rather slow, and much more characteristic of Alzheimer's, or possibly encephalitis. Either of these conditions might lead to brain cell losses and personality changes.

 

His early retirement also points to a slow deterioration. He was barely 51 and considering the difficulties his sons faced educating themselves, he still needed money for a growing family who ranged in age from  13 to 22.  His co-workers presented him with a large, silver tray and tea service, engraved with these words: "To Benjamin W. Allen Esq., by his friends in Mountmellick & District as a token of their esteem & good wishes May 1904."  Each silver piece was also stamped with Ben's Allen crest, a lion holding a rudder & bearing the words "Triumpho morte tam vita" (or "I triumph in death as in life.").

 

After Ben's death, his wife Harry left for the New World, accompanied by her oldest daughter, May, a girl who never married. They liquidated their few assets to do so, and May started looking for work, first in Winnipeg, Manitoba, although they eventually settled in Toronto.

 

Most of Harry's children had already immigrated by the year 1919. Her oldest son, Maurice, a marine engineer, was probably farming unsuccessfully in Alberta at the time, although he also ended up in Ontario. Her youngest son, Loftus, who had abandoned his training for the Anglican ministry at Trinity College due to lack of funding, was working as a chartered accountant in Toronto, Ontario. Her second daughter, Isabella, must have been well established in Maryland, USA with Thomas Thomas Hall & three of their four children. Only one daughter, Eva Maude, remained behind in Ireland.

 

Ben and Harry's children were not as prolific as their parents. Only the second child, Isabella and the last child, Loftus, ever married. Isabella had four children, and Loftus had three, and the seven of these grandchildren became Harry's world. She is buried in Toronto, Canada on the other side of the world from her husband Ben. Her children Richard "Maurice" and May are buried with her.

 

More About Benjamin William ALLEN:

Baptism: 24 Jun 1853, St. Iberius Church, Wexford, Ireland82

Cause of Death: Acute melacholia; chronic meningitis

Employed: the Bank of Ireland in Mountmellick, Tipperary.

Medical Information: Ben's certified death register indicated that he died of acute melancholia after months of weakness. His autopsy report specified "chronic meningitis," with no brain abnormality. 

Occupation: Banker

Resided: 1918, 33 Belgrave Rd., Rathmines, Dublin, Ireland

 

Notes for Harriette "Harry" WATERS:

Blue eyes and curly hair.  Several pictures have survived of Harriette, most of them probably taken when she was in her thirties, although one shows a sad faced woman in a widow's veil.

 

"Harry" was probably the youngest child in a family of eight children. It  is not known how she occupied her time before her marriage when she was almost thirty.  Harriette's concern for her children, all born when she was between the ages of 31 and 39 and all but one of them born in the Bank of Ireland House in Tipperary, Ireland.  When her husband died of a brain related ailment, she asked for an autopsy to rule out any possibility of an inherited disease which might affect either her surviving children or her grandchildren.

 

After her husband's death, Harriette immigrated to Canada with her daughter Eva in 1919, although she evidently spent time with her son-in-law, Thomas Hall of Tracy's Landing, Maryland.  She brought the family papers and the family silver with her.  Harriette's surviving sons, Maurice and Loftus were already in Canada.  She eventually settled near her youngest son, Loftus, in Toronto.  It is not known when May joined her.

 

There is a large monument to Harriette and children Maurice and May in a Toronto  cemetery.  Harry had left Ireland after her husband Benjamin W. Allen died in 1919.  Her son Loftus gave Harry this epithet: "H. Allen (Mar.3, 1851- Dec.7, 1928) wife of B.W. Allen, Bank of Ireland, Tipperary."  Nothing else.

Notes for Richard "Maurice" ALLEN:

Some discrepancy with his age; cemetery records indicate he died age 65.

 

Maurice immigrated from Tipperary, Ireland in 1915, giving his final destination as Sunnybrook, Alberta, Canada.  This is also his residence as indicated in his brother's 1917 will. In the manifesto of "The Menagntic,"  he was described as being 5' 7" with sandy hair and hazel eyes.  Farmed unsuccessfully in Alberta. Also a marine engineer; probably trained here.

        400           iv.    John de Renzi ALLEN, born 12 Dec 1885 in Bank of Ireland, Mountmellick, Tipperary, Ireland; died 29 Aug 1918 in Arras, France.

 

Notes for John de Renzi ALLEN:

John's birth is recorded in the family Bible of Benjamin William Allen and Harriette Waters.  He was the first member of his family to immigrate to Canada where he worked as a policeman:

 

1911 Canada Census/ Saskatchewan / Battleford / 47 Battleford / page 23

Allen John Derenzi     M  Policeman [RNWMP]  S  Dec  1885  26

 

According the above 1911 Canada Census record, he had immigrated to Canada in 1904. He appears to have been living in the Barracks of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police.

 

He was 5' 8" with grey eyes and brown hair when he signed up for the CEF in Calgary, Alberta. At the age of 31 yrs and 9 mths, he had spent eight years in the Royal North-West Mounted Police prior to his enlistment in the Calgary Draft of the Divisional Cyclist Depot at Sarcee, Alberta on 20 September 1917. He listed his next-of-kin as his father, and stated that he was working as a policeman in Calgary, Alberta, most of his adult life.

 

His pay of $15.00 per month as of the 1 Mar 1918 was sent to his mother at 33 Belgrave Rd., Rathmines, Dublin, Ireland. His father's name was crossed out with a notation that the change was made due to his father's insanity.

 

His embarked from Halifax, Nova Scotia  on the Scotian t arrived in England on Dec 7, 1917 and and went to France Mar 23, 1917.  He died of wounds received during the Battle of Arras*, having been reported missing the previous day. 

 

*" By succeeding in destroying the very heart of the German defence system, the Canadians enabled the British 3rd Army to advance eastward at a great pace. The success of the operation had a positive effect all along the western front, presaging an imminent Allied victory. The battle itself was actually a complex, two-operation conflict, that of the Scarpe and that of the Drocourt-Quéant Line, both part of the overall Allied strategy which consisted of exhausting the enemy who was already retreating eastward. The Battle of the Scarpe resulted in an Allied advance of no less than eight kilometres, while at Drocourt-Quéant, Allied troops expelled the Germans from one of their vital defence systems, advancing another six kilometres and taking up new positions in front of the next obstacle, the Canal-du-Nord.

 

The Battle Zone: Arras

 

The Canadians were on the Arras-Cambrai Road, with the Scarpe on their left, opposite a series of enemy defensive positions that were afforded good protection by the topography of the region. The battle zone also extended northeast beyond the high Artois Hills. About 14 kilometres east of Arras was the Drocourt-Quéant Line, an impressive, well-fortified system of trenches and shelters. This line of defence was designed to keep the Allies from advancing into the Douai Plain.

 

 

Battle Plan: Attack by Two Canadian Divisions and One British Division

 

These positions thus became the initial objective of the Canadians. Since the enemy was expecting an attack, it was obviously impossible to surprise the Germans. Consequently, the strategy adopted was to launch successive frontal attacks to exhaust the enemy troops.

 

When the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions arrived in the sector, they became responsible for the front that extended northward from Neuville-Vitasse to the Scarpe River, two kilometres west of Fampoux. The 1st and 4th Divisions were not due to arrive until August 25 and 28 respectively. In the interim, the 51st British Division formed part of the Canadian Corps and provided flank protection north of the Cambrai Road. According to General Currie’s plan for the first phase of the offensive, simultaneous attacks were to be launched by the British Division on the left, the 3rd Canadian Division between the Scarpe and the Cambrai Road, and the 2nd Division on the right.

 

 

Key Factors: Use of Massive Artillery and Moving H-Hour Up

 

General Currie had no less than 14 field artillery brigades and nine heavy artillery brigades at his disposal in the way of supporting fire. In addition to the artillery of the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions already engaged in the offensive, these units included the artillery of the 15th, 16th and 39th British Divisions and three army brigades. In short, the massive artillery support proved to be crucial in advancing rapidly and exhausting enemy forces that were so well located in their defensive positions.

 

Monday, August 26, had been chosen as the day of attack. The drizzling rain would not make the advance easy. H-hour, which was initially set for dawn, was moved up to 3:00 a.m. in the hopes of deceiving the enemy. The ruse worked as the surprised German soldiers put up little resistance and the Canadian infantry was able to progress quickly in the first moments of battle, without having to use armoured equipment.

 

The Battle Objectives: Monchy-le-Preux, the Fresnes-Rouvroy Line, the Red Line (the Drocourt-Quéant Line at the Buissy Switch) and the Green Line (Opposite the Canal-du-Nord)

 

The first objective was to capture a north-south line, west of Monchy-le-Preux, and then move east as far as possible. The intermediate objective was to break the Fresnes-Rouvroy Line and capture Cagnicourt, Dury and Etaing.

 

Once these manoeuvres were successfully executed, an even larger task awaited the Canadians — breaking the Drocourt-Quéant Line and, finally, establishing a front line immediately west of Canal-du-Nord, beyond which the enemy would likely have retreated.

 

Preparations: Preliminary Raids, and Road and Railway Repairs

 

The Canadians did not enjoy the rest period that usually followed participation in major operations such as the earlier Battle of Amiens. Furthermore, on August 23, they raided the German-occupied city of Neuville-Vitasse in broad daylight and partially captured it. It is assumed that the enemy decided not to organize an extended defence when it realized that it was dealing with Canadians, whom it regarded as the best troops.

 

While the first objectives were being reached and the attack on the Drocourt-Quéant Line was being planned, the major task lay ahead of repairing and extending the roads and local railway lines, which were crucial to supplying the troops.

 

The Assault

 

H-hour: August 26, 3:00 a.m. The 2nd Division was on the right, south of the Cambrai Road; the 3rd Division, between the road and the Scarpe; the 51st Highland Division, on the left, north of the Scarpe. Supported by a powerful artillery and machine gun barrage, the attack made good progress. The 3rd Division captured Monchy, the first objective, with a skilfully executed encircling manoeuvre that was praised long after the tactical feat. On the right, the 2nd Division captured the villages of Guemappe and Wancourt during the afternoon. By nightfall, the Canadian line extended about 914 metres east of Monchy.

 

General Currie’s orders for the 27th were to break through the Fresnes-Rouvroy Line and thereby advance by eight kilometres. It took two more days of bitter fighting before this defence system near Boiry-Notre-Dame was penetrated, and when the Battle of the Scarpe ended on August 30, resolute German garrisons were still stubbornly clinging to it.

 

In the first three days of the battle, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions had advanced more than eight kilometres over rough, broken land furrowed with extremely well-fortified trenches. Nevertheless, the Canadians succeeded in reaching the great majority of their objectives and captured 3,300 prisoners and a large number of guns.

 

The Drocourt-Quéant Phase, September 2-3, 1918

 

After a 48-hour respite, the assault on the main enemy defensive line in the west, the Drocourt-Quéant Line, was launched. This time, the 1st and 4th Divisions led the charge. At dawn, armoured and infantry units advanced behind a powerful artillery barrage. South of the Cambrai Road, the 1st Division moved forward quickly as the tanks destroyed enemy posts that had survived the initial barrage. Just a few hours later, at around 7:30 a.m., one battalion had already cleared the main trenches, but not without suffering some heavy losses. Subsequently, the Canadians reached their objective of Buissy Switch before midnight.

 

In the centre, the 4th Canadian Division had also been fighting a hard battle between Dury and the main road, on the front trenches of the Drocourt-Quéant Line that were on a long exposed ridge of Mont Dury. Although the Germans had a topographical advantage that enabled them to fire and bomb from elevated positions, and despite their heavy losses, the Canadian battalions and the tanks reached the top of the ridge and drove the enemy back. The 4th Division had reached its first objective with the capture of Dury. During the night, the enemy pulled back, and on September 3, the Canadian Corps met no resistance when it advanced about six kilometres to take up positions facing the next obstacle, the Canal-du-Nord.

 

In the first four days of September, the Canadian Corps captured more than 6,000 unwounded prisoners and inflicted heavy losses on the German Army. Its own casualties amounted to 5,600 men in this short period.

 

 

The Successes: 1st Division (Major-General Macdonell)

 

When he spoke of the successes of the Army Corps, General Currie praised the 1st Canadian Division in particular for attacking and capturing the Fresnes-Rouvroy and Drocourt-Quéant Lines, which amounted to a penetration of almost ten kilometres.

 

The Ambushes: 2nd Division (Major-General Burstall)

 

During the operations on the first two days, the 2nd Division experienced some difficulty in the operations prior to capturing the two enemy lines. The objective of breaking through the Fresnes-Rouvroy enemy defence system was unsuccessful at first as the 2nd Division had difficulty breaking through these lines near Boiry-Notre-Dame, thus leaving the objective only partially achieved when the Battle of the Scarpe ended on August 30.

 

Wounded from All Segments of Canadian Society

 

The two phases of the Arras operation cost the Canadians nearly 11,000 men. It was during the Battle of the Scarpe that Georges Vanier, the future Governor General of Canada, lost his leg while commanding the 22nd Battalion. Although not loudly proclaimed, the cultural diversity of the Canadian Expeditionary Force is evident in those who were wounded; amongst the thousands of soldiers wounded in this battle is a Montreal car washer of Japanese origin, Ischimatsu Shintani, an infantryman with the 24th Battalion who suffered serious head injuries

402  vi. Eva Maude ALLEN, born 20 Mar 1888 in Bank of Ireland, Mountmellick, Tipperary, Ireland; died 23 Oct 1964 in Tipperary, Ireland.

 

Notes for Eva Maude ALLEN:

Brown hair, hazel eyes. Never married.  In 1919, at the age of 31, Eva accompanied her mother to Canada.  She may have worked in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but by 1922 she was back in Ireland.  Dr. J. Dowling's handwritten note reads: "Miss Eva Allen is suffering from Auditory Vertigo and partial deafness.  She has also weakness of one arm which owing to disease in childhood is badly developed and short. She is not capable of earning her own living." (dated April 17, 1922, Nelson Place, Tipperary, Ireland)  This suggests that she may have qualified for some kind of pension in Ireland.

 

She was probably living at 11a Albert Road, Sandycove, Co. Dublin, Ireland as her brother Loftus wrote a letter to his wife from this address July 25, 1925.  Loftus had evidently come home to help her sell her house.  He wrote: "Eva does not want to come to Canada and she says her horses would have paid in time.  I tell her she lost in about 12 months nearly 200 pounds and she is as mad as hatter with me."

Notes for Arthur Havilland ALLEN:

Born 6:40 a.m.  Arthur's birth was recorded in the family Bible of Benjamin William Allen and Harriette Waters. 

 

Little is known about Arthur's early years, but he was reported as missing in action and presumed dead after he enlisted.  A fitting tribute was written by a a friend, recounting how courageouslyhe  led his men into battle:

 

"8/10.17.

 Dear Mr. Allen:

I am unfortunately the Bearer of very sad news.  Your son was killed on the morning of the 4th inst. while very gallantly leading his men in an attack. He has been reported as 'Missing believed killed,' but I am afraid there is absolutely no hope of his being a prisoner.  During the attack, and they had to advance a long distance, your son went to the right to try to maintain touch with our next Company.  He was seen to fall and the men say, that is those who were with him who are left, that he was killed instantly.  At the time of course everyone was moving and although a thorough search was made your son's body was not discovered.  It would be very hard for for you to realize what the ground is like up there, it is churned up and pitted with shell holes.  Your son behaved in a most gallant manner, he has always done so.  He was very popular with all, and respected.  He and I were great friends, and used to have a stroll together most days.  Of late I have never seen him in better form, and he went up the line in great spirits.  Up there the men tell me he was laughing and joking. Zero hour was at 6 a.m. and as the barrage came down your son turned around and said to his men 'Come on now I am off.'  He jumped over the parapet and led them like a true man with fine courage.

 

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for you all in your great sorrow, and what a great loss it is to me personally.  I am, I am afraid, very bad at expressing myself in a letter, so please forgive if I have broken this awful news to you very clumsily.  I offer you and all your family my true and deep sympathy. Yours sincerely, Talbot Considine."

        231.  William Henry7 ALLEN (William6, Robert5, Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 12 Apr 1858 in Latimerstown, Wexford, Ireland, and died 08 Feb 1931 in Slaney View, Wexford, Ireland.  He married Maude Beatrice ___ Abt. 1892 in Wexford, Ireland. 

 

Notes for William Henry ALLEN:

William Henry Allen was baptized "the son of William and Bessie Allen of Latimerstown..." but his mother died within days of his birth. It is not known who raised William. His paternal grandmother was dead and his father didn't remarry for another five years. After his chaotic childhood, perhaps he grew up a difficult man. His only son would later claim to hate him, for what reasons we may never know.

 

During a 1998 visit to Latimerstown, which has been owned by the widow Eleanor Doyle since 1947, papers in her possession confirmed that William Henry Allen was the registered owner in fee simple under the Land Purchase Acts in 1901. I believe this man to be the cousin identified by the initials "W.H." in letters belonging to my husband's great-grandfather, Benjamin W. Allen. These letters survived a journey from Ireland with Ben's widow, Harriet Waters.

 

W.H. and Ben were exchanging letters because they shared an interest in the family history, but perhaps this interest did extend to Latimerstown itself. It was the late Mr.Doyle who tried to trace Latimerstown's early history, with little success. Most title deeds, prior to 1963, were destroyed in the Four Courts fire in the Civil War. Hore apparently had a reference to Latemmerston dated 1571, but what Mr. Doyle found out was that a Colonel Camby took a lease on the property for five years in 1653, although there was no habitable dwelling then. Camby was still there in 1660, but Jacob Rathdowney may acquired Latimerstown later. Prior to William H. Allen's ownership, the property had been rented from the Johnstown Castle Estate under Lease for lives from Sir Thomas and Lady Esmond to William Allen (probably W.H.'s father).

 

The Doyles also have a few papers relating to an adjacent property known as Little Latimerstown or Starvehall, which also provide some clues to the Allen family history. In addition, the corresondence between W. H. & Ben refers to John Allen's deed to Latimerstown in the 1730s.

 

As to William Henry Allen, the last owner of a property which had been in his family for 350 years, he sold Latimerstown to the Walkers in 1903. The Walkers sold Latimerstown to the Fitzherberts in 1947 and the current owners, the Doyles, purchased the property in 1959.

 

In 1909, William Henry Allen was still l iving in Wexford, Ireland at a house called "Slaney View." Of Ireland, he said in a letter he wrote his cousin Ben Allen, "This country is hopeless," and he added that Canada was too cold. He favoured western Australia, where he apparently had friends. But he was never to leave Ireland. He died in Slaney View in 1931.

Notes for Constance "Dorothy" Charlotte ALLEN:

In a letter written from Slaney View, Wexford on Aug 14, 1909 to his cousin Ben Allen, William has this to say about his daughter:

"We are in trouble again with our little Dorothy. She came back from S. Wales quite recovered, and 3 weeks ago she got a bad fall on her head when playing which developed into meningitis. We have had a terrible time this past fortnight and although she has a nurse with her for night duty, Maude is almost worn out, as the poor child keeps constantly calling for her. She is quieter today and has slept a good deal, but the doctor says if she does recover it will be very slowly. Of course we fear there may be some injury to the brain which only time will show. With kind regards, your affect. cousin, W.H. Allen."

 

Little Dorothy died two weeks after this letter was written.

In February 2002, his son Richard wrote:

 

"After services at the First Christian Church, Perry, father was buried in the Polo Cemetery in Oakdale Twp. on 2-16-02. 

 

In a search for the keys to the safe deposit box, yesterday, my sister, niece and I found old pictures and letters we didn't know existed.  We found several dozen letters written to my parents during WW2 by my uncle Leland.  It was interesting to see letter addressed from "somewhere in France" in 1944, or Germany in April, 1945.  We also learned a little bit about my grandfather Allen.  Also, it was fun to discover some love letters written by father to my mother in the late 1930's.  They showed a side of him we never knew.

 

Until yesterday, I wasn't sure he finished high school.  But we came across his diploma showing he graduated from Perry High School in 1937.  He would have been 21 years old.  We knew he had to drop out of school in order to work during the depression.  Earlier, he had graduated the eighth grade at West Lawn School, in Oakdale Twp., in 1930."

Notes for Thomas John HALL III:

Thomas was a descendant of Rev. Henry Hall, an Englishman who had settled near West River, Maryland in the early 1700s. West River is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The Halls owned large plantations in the area, including one called "Bachelor's Choice," a name which still exists. Rev. Henry Hall has a commemorative plaque outside St. James Church in Old Herring Creek Parish, near West River, Maryland where many of the Halls are buried. His tombstone also indicates that there was a Society for the Descendants of Rev. Henry Hall.

 

In 1941, Thomas compiled a history of his family, called "The Hall Family of West River and Kindred Families," which also included some of his wife's lines.

        403.  Loftus "Loftie" Annesley8 ALLEN (Benjamin William7, Richard Maurice6, Robert5, Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 02 Mar 1889 in Bank of Ireland, Mountmellick, Tipperary, Ireland, and died 01 Jan 1973 in Islington, Ontario, Canada.  He married Janet Jessie "Kit" Fraser MCNEIL 09 Sep 1920 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada102, daughter of John MCNEIL and Elizabeth MCLERNON.  She was born 26 Dec 1896 in 14 Ronald Street, Glasgow, St. Rollox Dist., Lanark Co., Scotland, and died Abt. 1989.

 

 

Notes for Loftus "Loftie" Annesley ALLEN:

Allen family Bible states he was baptized May 13 rather than Apr.13.

 

Loftus was 5' 7-9" with blue eyes, fair hair and a birth mark on his left wrist, according to his WWI Attestation Papers.  He weighed about 160 lbs.

 

Loftus spent one to two years in Trinity College, University of Toronto, training for the Anglican ministry.  Due to lack of funding, he decided to become a chartered accountant. He graduated May 1915, but he was already overseas with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. (MCG 22-McGill Co.), having spent two years in the 13th Regiment at Hamilton, Ontario. He had trained as an officer at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

 

He was sent overseas with the Princess Pats, but after receiving a medical discharge at Shoreham by the Sea, Sussex, England due enlarged veins in his left leg and a threatened heart condition, he received a Pension in June 1916. The Medical Board noted:  "This man has varicose veins of a fairly serious type.  He also has a rapid nervous heart and has been troubled with fainting spells. We find no valvular disease but some enlargement."

 

He became trustee of his father Benjamin's estate when he died in 1919. According to his younger son John, the estate consisted of about $20,000, mostly from B.W.'s pension. Loftus lost the money in 1926 during the Crash.  He remained financially responsible for at least three of his siblings, paying May and Maurice who resided in Toronto, and Eva, the only sibling who had remained in Ireland, a monthly allowance of $35. each throughout the thirties. This arrangement was financed by means of a mortgage around 1939 or 1940, after he came into some more money.

 

He married Jessie McNeil 9 Sep 1920.  They probably honeymooned in Hamilton, Bermuda. Both Loftus and Jessie are recorded as passengers  on the Fort Hamilton which had departed from Bermuda and was in New York 30 Sep 1920.  [Source: New York Passenger Lists 1820-1957, online database  < ancestry.com >  Port of Arrival: New York, New York, Line: 7, Microfilm Serial: T715, Microfilm Roll: T715_2844, Page Number: 2]

 

Other Ellis Island records indicate that he travelled through that Port at least twice before 1924, aboard the Maravel from Port-of-Spain on May 25, 1918.  Loftus and his wife Kit had a cottage, but they spent winter vacations in Bermuda and Florida.

 

Loftus founded an accountancy firm in Toronto.

        406.  William "Alfred"8 ALLEN (William Henry7, William6, Robert5, Robert4, John3, Elnathon2, George1) was born 21 Sep 1895 in Latimerstown, Wexford, Ireland.  He married Martha "Meta" ___. 

 

Notes for William "Alfred" ALLEN:

Alfred is the only known son of William H. Allen, a man he claimed to hate. He was christened "William Alfred son of William and Maude Beatrice Allen of Latimerstown."  He later lived at Westgate as his older son's baptismal register indicates that he was the son of "William and Martha Allen of Westgate."

 

At some point Alfred must have emigrated to Surrey, England where his grandson Richard remembers meeting him for the first time and being shown all the crested Allen family silverware, heirlooms which were later sold by his Uncle Wally.

 

Alfred and his wife Meta retired to St. Leonard's, Dorset, England, after he became partially sighted in one eye and had to walk with a cane. However, he may not have died there.  He may be the Alfred William Allen who was born 22 Jun 1895  and whose death was registerered Jan 1986  in  Bedford,  Bedfordshire.  A Martha Allen, born 1912, also died there in 2003. 

 

A letter which the Doyles, the current owners of Latimerstown wrote June 8, 1982 is addressed to "W.A. Allen, Esq., 77 Queens Road, Jarrow,  Tyne-on-Wear, England." This letter begins: "Your son, when he was in Ireland sometime ago, gave me your address and I am anxious to know as much about the history of Latimerstown, your former home as I can... I trust you are in good health."

Notes for William "Bill" Henry Herbert ALLEN:

According to his son, Bill was a charming man, who looked something like David Niven, but he was also a small-time crook and con man, in and out of jail. He never worked a day in his life. He left home when his children were small, maintaining very little contact with them until he was dying of alcoholism.

Notes for Alfred Walter "Wally" ALLEN:

Wally was a well liked, but very quiet and private man. He ran a local Public House, called "The Kingston Hotel" for some time, but unfortunately both he and his wife Margaret had a drinking problem.
