Joseph Allen, an English Quaker, emigrated to this country about 1770,
and about 1772 came to Washington county with his wife, Deborah Hill, and
took out a warrant for a tract of land lying on the Monongahela River for
which he received a patent from Thomas and John Penn dated December 22,
1774. This tract was named "Allenton."
Ten years later he took a warrant dated August 31, 1784, for a tract
which was surveyed December 15, of that year as "Allen's Delight," and
contained three hundred and fifty four acres. It was situated on the
Monongahela River and was two hundred twenty six perches along the River "adjoining his other lands and lands of David England."
On the 28th of March 1799 he divided his real estate consisting of over
eight hundred acres into eight parts, reserving one for himself and
giving one to each of his children, except Benjamin Allen: viz Eli Allen,
John Allen, Samuel Allen, William Allen, Joshua Allen, Ema Allen (Mrs
Thomas Stockdale), and Deborah Allen (Mrs James Winders/ Winters?).
The son Benjamin, not included in the above division, was made chargeable
for his support on the others.
A deed was given to John Allen April, 1800, for one hundred acres, a part
of the tract "Allen's Delight;" and to Samuel Allen, April 12th the same
year one hundred acres, part of both tracts, "Allenton" and "Allen's
Delight." To William Allen on the 8th of April 1800, for one hundred
acres, also parts of the above-mentioned tracts; and on the 12th of
April, same year, to Ema Allen (Mrs Thomas Stockdale) for one hundred and
one acres, a part of "Allen's Delight."
Joseph Allen died in the township in 1839 at an advanced age. Eli Allen,
the eldest son, emigrated to Indiana. Mrs Sarah Wolf and Joanna McKey are
granddaughters of Joseph Allen.
