George's son Dewitt Clinton is from his second wife Elizabeth Wightman.

Land record(Book ZZ, page 336) for his wife Betsey shows that they were still 'of Skaneatles,NY' as of Jun 1833.

George is said to have been buried in what was the town of Alfred, but later became the town of West Almond.

NOTE: In 1872, A.Allen was living in this area of West Almond, as was A.Steward, C.Crandall, H.Steward. This is now known as Stewart Road ('J' shaped road).

Notes:

In 1774, at the age of 10, David was a member of William Billings' Sacred Music School in Stoughton, David is listed under the heading,"Singers of Counter."(possibly todays equivalant of Alto). By 1786 he was a member of the Stoughton Musical Society.

David was a charter member of the Rising Star Lodge F. & A.M Dec 1799 and present at the first meeting in Stoughton,Mass in January 1800 (also present was Paul Revere) where he was elected Senior Deacon. Today it is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in Massachusetts.

1800 census of Canton, MA (formed from Stoughton in 1797) shows David (26-44) with one male under 10, one male 10-15, three females under 10, and one female 26-44.

David moved to Vermont about 1810, from Canton, MA where he was a farmer, along with his brother, Elisha (also from Canton).

1810 census of Chittenden, Rutland Co., Vermont shows David with two males under 10, one female under 10, two females 10-15, and female 26-44.

1820 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (45 and over), one female 10-15; one female 16-25; one female 45 and over (Eleanor).

1830 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (60-69), one female 20-29 and female 60-69 (Eleanor).

In the fall of 1831 he moved with his wife and widowed daughter, Lucy (and two children), to Fredericktown, Ohio where his children Samuel, David, and Azuba already resided. Not clear if they made it to Fredericktown before the death of their son, David. Appears several family members died between 1830 and 1832.

David was appointed Guardian of his son David's children. Court records in Knox County (Box 11, #273) receipts were submitted by David Sr. between 1834 and 1839Oct31 for purchases (shoe repairs, clothes, schooling, etc.) for Eliza and Timothy. In Oct1834 paid taxes on a schoolhouse he built in District No.1 on the property of his son, David Jr. Those expenses were approved 22Oct1840 by the court. No other guardian receipts noted. As guardian in 1837(20Feb) sold at auction property belonging to the heirs of his son, David Jr.
In June 1842, Timothy Burr and Absolom Thrift were appointed guardians of Timothy B. Wadsworth aged 16 (Eliza was over 18 at that point), which leads us to conclude that David Sr most likely died that year or before (most likely 1840).

1840 census, not found in Knox County, Ohio.

Notes:

John Allen, lived in Marcellas in 1810 and 1820 census living near his father, moved to Granby near his brother Weston before 1830, appears in the 1830 and 1840 census living in Granby.

I dont find him in the 1850 census in the area. Remained in Onondaga County.

This is the John Allen in the 1810 census in Marcellas 20010-20100. The only other Allen in Marcellus at this time was his father George.

John Allen and his wife Hannah, of Marcellus, sold lot 41 (50 acres) to Samuel Lamb, the town of Onondaga on 13Mar1816. Apparently was morgated from Daniel Kellogg, 3Jun1814.

More than likely, this John is NOT the John M. Allen who had a wife Eunice and bought Lot 20 in Marcellus May 1, 1817 he being aged 31(b.1786). Sold in 1831 (John and Eunice) to L.Wilcox

A John, who lived in Marcellus, Onondaga Co. MI and apparently was married there to Nancy Wiltsie in 1829. Their first child was born there in 1832. Family migrated to Washtenaw Co. MI in 1834, with Elizabeth, Giles and Nancy Ann being born in Freedom Twp. there.

This is outside Saline, MI about 15 miles SW of Ann Arbor. This John is not to be confused with the John Allen who was very prominent in development of Ann Arbor

Notes:

Married and settled in Saratoga County, NY (Not the Betsey Allen that married Selby Caulkins, she was born 1799 and married in 1814 in Mexico, Oswego Co., NY, her full name was Elizabeth Jane Allen. I think the notes that some sources say she may have had a brother Weston, come from the fact that there was a Weston Allen living in Oswego Co., NY in 1820, but he is not her brother, that Weston is the son of George Allen and Margaret Chase). Our Betsey may be connected to a Robert Sweeten, according to LDS a Betsey Allen was born about 1795 in Saratoga Springs, NY

Notes:

Signed his Will 11Jul1851 and probated without contest on 20Sep1852 in Angelica, Allegany County Court. "David Allen, Margaret West by Henry West her husband, Harvey Thompson special guardian for Hannah J.

Probate documents (Box 7, images 529-539), give death date as 21Jul1851 and names heirs: "Ebenezer Allen2, Western Allen, Patience Sisson, David Allen, all of whom are children of deceased and reside in said county.

(the 2 was next to his name at every reference indicating there is another Ebenezer Allen in the area - that being his uncle Ebenezer that lived next to his father, George). The documents also reference the appointment of Harvey Thompson as especial guardian to Hannah J. Allen.

According to his daughter, Hannah's Surrogate notice in the LeRoy newspaper he also had other descendants that I cant find how they are related (or birthdate, residence): Arthur Andrews, Leona Birch, Mrs. Allen Johnson, Vet Allen, Sadie Lampman, Plina Chase, Jennie Weiser, Carrie Taylor, Satie Allen, Lillian Blackman I can't find how they are connected.

Mr. Allen was a member of the Wellsville Masonic body, a thirty-second degree Mason, a member of the Mystic Shrine and the B.P.O.E. He was closely affiliated with the fraternity's and the civic life, the Allentown public school being largely due to his personal interest and liberality.
