Her husband died nine years ago, and his father, Ethan Allen, came to Louisville with his father Aaron Allen, in 1800, who had been a sergeant in the Revolutionary war and; who with Samuel W. Wilson, is said to have felled the first tree cut by settlers in the town of Louisville.
Mrs. Allen was the mother of five children, three of whom, survive, Henry A., Ethan W. and Ida M., all living at home. Mrs. Allen was one of a family of twelve children, but the only survivor is Rufus Davenport, of Malone, who although nearly 80 years old, is still quite active and was present at his sister's funeral.
