2. Ralph Allen
(1.George1) was born about 1600 in England; died about 1698 in Dartmouth, Bristol County, Massachusetts. Notes:
Ralph Allen, the son of George Allen and his first wife, is believed
to have been born in about 1615 in England. Although it has not been
determined when he arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it is
known that he did not travel on the same ship as his father, George.
According to available records, Ralph was generally referred to as a
planter and wheelwright. This was apparently to distinguish him from
the other Ralph Allen residing at Sandwich who was married to a woman
named Esther Swift and was a mason by trade. Although Ralph is
thought to have married sometime around 1630-1635, it is not known at
this time whether he married in England, or after he arrived in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony. Our Ralph is believed to have been married
to a woman named Susannah.
Ralph eventually settled at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of
Massachusetts where his father lived. In 1657, while residing at
Sandwich, Quakerism began spreading throughout the Colony, and Ralph
and six of his brothers and sisters were apparently among the first to
be "convinced." Unfortunately, the adoption of Quakerism by the

Rice Honeywell, was born March 1760 at Fredericksburg (now Carmel),
Westchester County, New York, according to his deposition for pension.
He was a younger son of David (ca 1730-1772?) and Rebecca (Rice?)
Honeywell of the same place. He was descended from Roger Hunnewell 's
third son Israel Honeywell.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR EXPLOITS
In 1773, the probable date of his father's death, Rice went to live
with his oldest brother Isaiah at Lanesborough, Massachusetts. From
there, when two months short of his sixteenth birthday, he enlisted in
January 1776, along with Isaiah, in Colonel Seth Warner's Regiment.
They immediately marched to Montreal and on to Quebec to join General
Benedict Arnold's troops. His five months of service were up just
after the Americans fell back on Montreal, and he was returned to
Lanesborough. Another enlistment of six months followed in General
Poor's Brigade. He was at Long Island, New York when it was overrun by
the British, being in a "guard" that was led to safety through the
British lines under cover of fog by General Israel Putnam. In 1777 he
was called out on a tour of militia duty on the approach of General
Burgoyne from the north, was wounded in the left arm in a skirmish at
Wood Creek near Fort Ann, but he continued to fight with his arm in a
sling. Although not fully recovered, he turned out soon thereafter to
fight under Colonel Warner at Bennington, New York, but suffered from
his neglected wound.
Beginning in May 1778 he had a number of periods of service in which
he went as a substitute for others. One such period was for nine
months with General Wayne's Brigade at Valley Forge. Both Isaiah and
Sergeant Rice Honeywell were numbered among the Green Mountain Boys.
In March 1778 he moved from Lanesborough to "Old Hoosac on the Hoosac
River" in New York State, "where he resided until March 1785 when he
removed to Augusta in the County of Grenvelle, Upper Canada."
One account has it that after the war Rice came back into Canada to
see it and fell in love with Ruth Allen, the daughter of a Tory,
Weston Allen, U.E., who had brought his family to the Prescott area.
The date of the marriage is not known, nor the place, although it is
probably Prescott, Ontario. In any case, Rice took his bride Ruth back
to his home in New York (probably Hoosac). When they returned to
Canada in 1785 because Ruth wished to be near her own family, it was
with two children, a daughter and son, Ira. Source: Pension
application. LIFE IN CANADA
There is evidence that he took an interest in the community and people
around. He was on the list of subscribers in 1790 for the Blue Church,
Prescott, which was to be erected in 1791. His name has appeared as a
witness at such functions as weddings. A number of letters are extant,
to John Small at the Executive Council Office at York, which he wrote
on behalf of other settlers.
The census of 1806 for Augusta showed Rice in a household of three,
including one son Richard; by that time Ira was the head of his own
family. It is likely that Ruth died about 1800, because his second son
Richard was born in 1802 to Rice and Catherine (Fishback) Honeywell.
In the 1823 census Rice's family consisted of himself, his wife, two
sons, one daughter, four male servants and one female servant.
His will of 1839, probated 19 August 1840, probably named only his
surviving children: Ira, Richard, John, Mariah Obrien and Israel
Putnam Honeywell (likely named after the hero of his youthly escape
from Long Island). Israel, a minor at the time, was no doubt the son
of his third wife and widow, Martha Honeywell.
Richard went back to New York State, to St. Lawrence County, and left
many descendants there. John and Mariah are as yet untraced. It is
very possible that the Israel Putnam (or Putman) Honeywell of South
Crosby, in 1854 and the one being married in Camden in 1858, later
settling at a blacksmith shop in the 5th Concession of Thurlow
Township, Hastings County, Ontario are one and the same. The corner is
still known as Honeywell's Corners. Source: Miss Doris Honeywell

LAND GRANTS AND MILLS
In 1785, 1791, and 1793, Rice and Ruth received land grants in
Maitland and Augusta Township. In 1795 they were allowed Town lot No.
19 at Johnstown on the north side of First Street and a park lot on
condition that they build a frame house, which they did.
Under an Order in Council of the 3 July 1797 he was granted a special
lot, No. 14, Concession 1 in Haldimand Township, North Cumberland
County, as the site of a sawmill. In April of that year his brother
Isaiah had moved his family from the U. S. to Concession 3, Haldimand.
Leaving his own family of four (his wife, one boy and two girls)
settled in Augusta, Rice built the mill within the required year. He
obtained its patent in April 1801 and sold the mill and the land in
August 1802 forRuth married Rice Honeywell about 1785. Rice (son of David Honeywell and Rebecca Rice) was born in Mar 1760 in Kent, Putnam County, New York; died on 25 Jun 1839 in Prescott, Leeds and Grenville, Ontario. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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

"David Allen, Margaret West by Henry West her husband, Harvey Thompson special guardian for Hannah J. Allen, Ebenezer Allen and Hannah Allen the widow of the deceased also appeared and consented in Open Court that the proof of said will might be taken this day.." The actual Will names only daughter Hannah Jane Allen("..that she become 18 years of age"), son David Allen, and widow Hannah Allen.
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.

Allen, who resides in Alfred aforesaid is abut fifteen years of age and has no [illegible] guardian." dated 19Jul1852,sign Ebenezer Allen2.

From The Naples Record 17 June 1876
In the town of Richmond, Ont. Co., NY, on the 11th inst., Leonidas Wilbur, died of pneumonia after a short illness. Mr. Wilbur was born in the town of Berkley, Bristol, Co., MA. Nov 15th, 1798. His parents were Josiah and Bathsheba Wilbur, his mother's maiden name being Briggs. While quite young he moved with his parents to Windham Co., VT, where he received his education. When twenty he came to Western NY to the town where he died, to visit an Uncle Artemas Briggs, a brother of his mother, where he remained one year. On his return he went to Bristol Co., MA, and spent several years farming. In 1891 he was married to Abigail Cornell of Berkley, MA, and settled in Londondery Windham Co., VT, where they had six children born — one son, Dr. Wilbur of Honeoye, and five daughters, of whom all have survived him but Nettie, the youngest, by whose side he was laid so peacefully. In 1851 he moved from Londondery, having sold his farm, to Richmond, Ont. Co., where he resided until his death. He was a man of sterling' integrity, industry and frugality, and has left a memory that will not only be cherished by near relatives, but by all who knew him. He was a kind husband, an indulgent and loving father, a good citizen and neighbor. Loving hands administered to his wants during his sickness, and loved ones sorrow for their dead; but not as those without a hope of a blessed resurrection. His funeral was attended from his home by a large concourse of people. Rev. S. M. Day gave some very impressive thoughts from the text, "Your fathers, where are they?"Leonidas married Abigail Briggs Cornell on 14 Apr 1831. Abigail (daughter of Doctor William Uriah Cornell and Abigail Briggs) was born on 10 Apr 1806 in Berkley, Bristol County, Massachusetts; died on 08 Apr 1894 in Richmond, Ontario County, New York; was buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Honeoye, Ontario County, New York.

Cyrus, was born in 1820 in the house now occupied by his son, which was built by the father of Cyrus, Artemas, in 1817. The latter was born in 1786 in Dighton, Mass., and came on foot to Bristol, Ontario county, in 1806. In 1809 he married in Bristol, Fanny Gregg, born in 1789. His father, Jedediah, was born in 1738. He had thirteen children, several of whom came to this county. Artemas traded his farm in Bristol for one here, whither he removed in 1814. He served in the War of 1812, and fought in several of the battles on the Niagara frontier. He settled on the west side of Honeoye Lake, and owned land south of Main street in Honeoye. He and his son, Jedediah, each gave half the land for the original cemetery and he gave the land for the First Methodist church. He was one of the founders of the church here. The edifice stood on the site of Mrs. Phillips's house on Lake street. His children were: John G., born in 1811; Jedediah, born in 1815; Fanny, born in 1818; Cyrus, born in 1820, and Mary, born in 1823. Cyrus was educated at East Bloomfield Academy, and was a farmer. He married first Emeline McMichael, daughter of Thomas McMichael, a tanner here, and they had two sons: Zachary J., born in 1849, and John C. He married second Cynthia E. Hadley, by whom he had no children. He died in 1888. John C. married in 1878 Minnie A., daughter of John Van Buren. She was born November 8, 1857. They have had two children; Fred J., born in 1885, died in 1889, and Hattie F., born May 26 1889. Mr. Briggs farms the old original homestead first taken up by Abel Short and later owned by Artemas Briggs. Jedediah, brother of Artemas Briggs, was born in 1779 and was a sea captain. During the War of 1812 he was captured by the English and taken to England, returning after the war. Enoch, the oldest brother, born in 1770, came after Artemas, and settled in Bristol, where his descendants may be found at the present time. The ancestry of the family dates back to Sir Robert Briggs of England, who lived about thirteen generations back.

Cyrus Briggs, one of the old residents of Honeoye, died at Rochester last Saturday night, aged 68. Mr. Briggs had been in poor health for about a year, and went to the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. McCrossen, of Rochester, the 6tb of last December, in the hope that a change would benefit him, Mr. Briggs was born at Honeoye, and always made that place his home. He leaves two sons Zachary and John both of whom live at Honeoye. Also, one brother and one sister—Mrs. Henry Huff of Jonesville, Mich. The funeral was held Wednesday. The appreciative obituary notice will be found in another column.
- THE LATE CYRUS BRIGGS.
Cyrus Briggs of Honeoye died at the residence of his brother-in-law, R. D. McCrossen, of Rochester, on Saturday evening, Dec 29th. Though all feared there was no hope of recovery, when the news of his death reached his native place it came with a shock that was almost startling. Cyrus Briggs was a man loved by his friends and respected by all. Born at the old homestead Nov. 18th, 1890, sixty-eight years later he was carried and placed by loving hands in the very room that saw his birth. He was the youngest son of the late Artemus Briggs, who removed from Bristol to Richmond in 1814. Of his immediate relatives, a brother, Jedediah, of this place, and a sister, Mrs, Mary B. Huff, of Jonesville, Mich., survive him. His sons, Zachary and John, are residents of Honeoye, the latter occupying the old home on the farm that has been in possession of the Briggs family for seventy-four years. Mr. Briggs was twice married. His first wife, Miss Emeline McMichael of Naples, died in '66, and he married Miss M. E. Hadley of Brooklyn in '67. He leaves a successful competence gained by honesty, industry and strict attention to his own affairs. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. S. M. Day, were held from the Congregational church on Wednesday, the 2d, at 11 o'clock, the burial taking place while en route to the church, in Lake View cemetery, and which was once included in the original deed to the old farm.

There are three men most responsible for the development of the Crescenta-Canada Valley: Dr. Jacob Lanterman, Dr. Benjamin Briggs, and Senator Frank P. Flint.
DR. BENJAMIN BRIGGS
Benjamin Bennett Briggs was in terrible shape when he arrived here in 1881. Years earlier he?d been shot through the lung -- the bullet still lodged in his chest, leaving him in constant pain. He was among the very first to head west for the Gold Rush, leaving the East Coast in March of 1849.
Near Salt Lake City, he and his brothers befriended some local Indians. While showing off their marksmanship, the 22-year-old accidentally stepped in front of his brother?s target.
The bullet ripped through his right lung and imbedded in his spine, the tip just visible under the skin. His journal entry for the day reveals a stoic personality. After describing the terrain and location he merely adds, ?Got accidentally wounded.?
In keeping with the medical practice of the time, he was bled. This complicated his condition, producing terrible sweats, fevers and chills. After a eight days the caravan moved on, leaving his brothers to tend to him.
Fearing they wouldn?t make the Sierras by winter, the Briggs brothers had no choice but to continue west and if need be bury him along the way. When they arrived in California, to their utter amazement, young Benjamin stood up.
His brothers worked the gold mines while he recuperated. With little to do but stare at the ground -- he became convinced that California?s soil would be perfect for growing citrus.
After some serious cajoling, he persuaded his brothers to collect the proper cuttings. This required not only the arduous journey back to the east coast -- but ocean voyages to South America and Spain, the latter in which to learn the raisin business.
Through painful trial and error -- and years of perseverance -- the Briggs brothers pioneered California?s fruit industry -- the first to plant citrus in the Sacramento Valley. George Briggs became one of the state?s first millionaires.
The Mission Padres had experimented with fruit growing before, but never on a large scale. The Briggs ranch in Santa Paula was so vast that visitors were cautioned to carry guns as flares since many a worker got lost overnight in the endless maze of fruit trees.
But a cloud followed young Benjamin. His wife Abby died of tuberculosis. Heart-broken and still suffering from his own lung injury, he abandoned the fruit industry for medicine.
He became obsessed with finding a cure for tuberculosis and other lung diseases. Over the years he earned seven medical degrees including one from the Heidelberg Academy in Germany which at the time led the world in tuberculosis research.
Despite a successful medical practice in Indiana, Brigg?s longed for a healthier climate. With his new bride (his wife?s sister) and his daughter Irene, he traveled extensively throughout Europe and America in search of the perfect climate. He found it in Rancho La Canada.
Tall, angular and bearded, Briggs reminded locals of the late President Lincoln and they took to calling him Old Abe. After moving here, Brigg?s health immediately improved.
Brigg?s purchased the entire western half of Rancho La Canada from Lanterman and Williams. He had the land surveyed and divided into ten-acre lots for sale as ranches. This included the future site of Montrose.
From his perch atop Pickens canyon, the mountains made crescent shapes -- so he named the area La Crescenta. Before that it had been called simply ?The Big Rocks?.
Brigg?s started the first school in the valley, the first town center, the first church, the first public park, and the first full-time medical practice. He also planted thousands and thousands of trees.
Briggs? daughter Irene had married the Reverend Lawrence Ward. For over 20 years, they were missionaries in the Islamic country of Persia, part of modern-day Iran. While on furlough, Briggs asked them start the first church in the valley. They formed the First Presbyterian church in Dr. Brigg?s home.
The church would later move to this cement structure on Foothill. A rare commodity in those days, Brigg?s bought the cement after it had been used as ballast on a ship from Germany. It was said to be the first cement structure in all of Southern California. The church would eventually move to its present location on Montrose Avenue.
Briggs accomplished all this in less than 12 years. When he was 66 he decided to have the bullet removed from his chest. It had been lodged against his spine for 44 years. Shortly after doctors extracted the lead ball, Benjamin Briggs died.
Col. Pickens and Dr. Briggs lived on the same piece of land for roughly the same amount of time -- during which the former chopped down an entire forest, damned up the canyon and forced others to pay him for the water -- while the latter planted thousands of trees, established a new town, and paved the way for future generations to move here.
All that honors the memory of this extraordinary man is the name of the street which once led up to his home.

JOSEPH W. BRIGGS, deceased. The subject of this sketch was born in New York in 1832. He was the son of Thomas Briggs, of New York. In his childhood his father removed to Medina County, Ohio, where our subject was reared and schooled, obtaining such education as the schools of that date afforded. He early learned the details of the work on his father's farm in assisting in its management.
He made the overland journey to California, and upon his arrival joined his brother, who resided near Marysville, the two entering into extensive fruit-cultivation, thus becoming pioneers of that industry in this State. He continued in k until 1854, when he returned to Ohio, and there married, in that year, Miss Mary J. Oldes, the daughter of Albert and Mary (Bennett) Oldes, who resided in Medina County, Ohio. After a two years' stay in Ohio, he went to Franklin County, Kansas, where he purchased land and established himself as a farmer and stock-raiser. There he made his home for several years, in fact until, in 1862, he returned to this State, and, with his brother, John G., and his brother-in-law, Edward Haskell, entered largely into fruit-culture. His family joined him in his new home in 1863. Mr. Briggs eventually bought out the interests of his partners, and for a time managed these orchards, of hundreds of acres in extent, without other assistance than that of hired help. In 1873 he sold out these interests and came to Santa Clara County, where he bought a tract of 120 acres on the Trimble road, on Coyote Creek, in the Midway School District. He immediately began the work of planting extensive orchards and small-fruit vines, and succeeded before his death in producing a splendid farm, upon which his widow now resides. Fifty acres were devoted to the raising of plums and prunes, twenty acres to pears, ten acres to apples, twelve acres to cherries, and the remainder to pasturage. Six acres of raspberries, and five of strawberries, were cultivated among the fruit-trees. Plenty of water is supplied by five artesian wells, each of which furnishes an average flow of water. These lands, being in a high state of cultivation and very productive, testify to Mr. Briggs' skill in horticulture. In addition to the supervision of this large farm, Mr. Briggs engaged largely in fruit-raising near Visalia, purchasing in 1881, 200 acres of land. His son, Frank T., bought 160 acres near this property, and in 1885 Mr. Briggs also acquired that tract by purchase. His design was the conversion of the whole into orchards, but his plans were destroyed by the hand of death, which occurred April 19, 1887.
He left three children: Frank T., married and living in San Francisco ; John G., who married Miss Lizzie Adams, of Alviso, now a resident of San Jose; and Albert L., residing on the old homestead. He also left, besides a devoted family, f friends, by whom his loss was deeply felt. He was a man of great strength of character, of untiring energy, as the magnitude of his enterprises proves. He was well versed in the business affairs of life, and was thus able to bring to a successful issue his many plans.
His worth in social circles was thoroughly appreciated, and by his death many secret organizations mourned the loss of a most useful member. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, being a Knight Templar, and was also connected with tcan Legion of Honor, Chosen Friends, Knights of Honor, and Ancient Order of United Workmen.
