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

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
1830, John M. Allen(b.bet.1780-1790) in Skantelatas, Onondaga Co.,NY 0201001-000001 (A Rufus Allen, born between 1790 and 1800 lives near by).

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:

With O. P. Taylor, he formed the firm of Allen and Taylor and their first producing well was located at Sawyer’s Station. This was followed by their first oil at Allentown. They then demonstrated the rich productivity of the Richburg territory when they struck a gusher in 1881. Since that time, he had been closely associated with the rising and falling fortunes of the surrounding territory. 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.

Mrs. Effie M. Curtin, 68, Died In Sleep After Illness Of Two Weeks

Mrs. Effie M. Curtin, 68, widow of Emmett R. Curtin, Sr., died at 3:45 a.m. Saturday in the family home, 931 W. Market-st. The end came peacefully while she slept.

The popular Lima woman, who accompanied her prominent husband thru his rise to fame from the humble place of oil field worker to one of the leading bankers and oil and gas company operators in this territory, had been seriously ill for the last two weeks. For more than eight years, however, she had been in ill health that curtailed her activities. Death resulted from heart disease.

Mrs. Curtin was born in Allentown, N.Y., a town which was named after her father who founded the community. Her parents both have been dead for more than 40 years.

Mrs. Curtin attended a primary school in Allentown and was graduated from a high school there. The Curtins were married in Belmont, N.Y., July 26, 1891.

After the marriage, Curtin, in following the westward trend of the oil field activities, came to the Lima area.

In 1910 the Medina Gas and Oil Co., which her husband helped organize, made a contract with the then Lima Natural Gas Co. which brought Curtin and his wife to this district.

For a while Mr. and Mrs. Curtin lived in Findlay while he was associated with the Ohio Oil Co. After several years, the family moved to St. Marys where Curtin was named superintendent of the Manhattan Oil Co. Subsequent operations by her progressive husband brought the Curtins to Lima where the family home has been located ever since.

Mrs. Curtin was a member of Christ Episcopal church. Activities in the parish, in addition to the oft repeated phrase "my husband and son first," were Mrs. Curtin's primary aims in life.

Emmett Curtin, Jr., who formerly was president of the West Ohio Gas Co. and followed in his father's footsteps in oil and various other business enterprises, is the sole survivor. Four nephews, Allen Brady, of Toledo, who is connected with the federal revenue office, and Guy Allen, of Tulsa, Okla., an associate of the National Supply Co.; Harold and Max Loveless, both of Bradford, Pa., as well as Brady's son, James A., Jr., also survive.

Last rites for Mrs. Curtin will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday at the 931 W. Market-st home. The Rev. Richard O. Petersen, rector of the church of which she was a member, will officiate. Burial will be in Woodlawn cemetery.

Pallbearers, named by Mrs. Curtin before her death, probably will be Dr. Harvey Basinger, Benjamin S. Motter, L. B. Merritt, Wallace H. King, Harry Wright, Jr., J. F. Solomon, H. L. Solomon and Frank G. Kahle.

The services is to be directed by the Davis, Miller and Son mortuary.

Two Killed in Crossing Accident Near Wellsville. No Chance to Stop Automobile on Slippery Road in Time to Avoid Being Hit by Train.
Another grade crossing accident resulting in the death of two men, was tragic Sunday news in Wellsville, COLA L. SISSON of Almond, and ALFRED L. STUBBS, of Auburn, were instantly killed on the Erie crossing in the Proctor District, when their automobile was struck by west bound Erie train 7. The accident occurred at 10:30 o'clock, Erie train 7 running about on time was speeding into Wellsville at a fifty mile clip. The Proctor crossing is two miles east of Wellsville station and there is an open view of the track from either direction. Mr. Stubbs was driving a Ford sedan and Mr. Sisson was sitting along side of him. Evidently the men did not notice the approach of the train from behind until almost upon the crossing, although the engineer had seen the car and was blowing the whistle sharply, trying to warn them. The driver evidently attempted to stop the Ford sedan within a few feet of the track, applying the brake and pushing on the reverse foot lever. The car was seen to approach within a few feet of the crossing, skid around on the slippery road and then back directly onto the track in train [sic]. The car caught on the front of the locomotive, was torn into small pieces and carried for hundreds of yards, Sisson being thrown out about 300 yards from the crossing, while a portion of the wreckage was cleaned off by the trainmen when the train stopped nearly 500 yards from the crossing Mr. Stubbs, the driver, had been forced through the enclosed car and was sitting on the pilot of the engine but dead when the train stopped. The train was fortunately stopped near a railroad telephone booth in the yard limit and the Erie station was called and orders received to back the train up, where the body of Mr. Sisson was removed from the railroad embankment, placed on a stretcher and taken into the baggage car. Mr. Stubb's body was left on the pilot of the engine and the train proceeded to the Wellsville station, where undertaker EMBSER took charge of the remains and removed them to his rooms on West State street. Corner [sic] COOLEY arrived a few minutes later and examined the property of the dead men, thus arriving at their homes in Almond and Auburn. The accident was almost beyond explanation. Mr. Sissons was familiar with the road and must have realized he was approaching the crossing and despite of the snow falling at the time, there was a good sight of the approaching train, the track and the road running parallel for half a mile. Evidently the men were deep in conversation and did not realize the train was on them until within a few rods of the crossing and in applying the foot brake and reverse pedal, caused the car to slew around and back onto the track. Portions of the car were strewn alongside the railroad for a quarter of a mile and the car reduced to bits of scrap iron and kindling wood, with the exception of the front end, which was evidently carried on the pilot of the engine and when removed the headlights were intact and the glass and headlights unbroken. Both men were instantly killed, Mr. Sisson's body being terribly mangled, the left leg broke in ten places and the body finally thrown clear of the wreckage before the train stopped. Will HALLADAY living on the Proctor road, and some 300 yards east of the crossing, was in the back yard cutting wood. he noticed the car go by, traveling at not more than 20 miles an hour and thought it was a neighbor. Only a few minutes elapsed when train 7 came whistling by his house, the whistle loudly tooting and he looked up just in time to [rest of story missing]
