GEORGE ALLEN, grandson of Elisha Allen of Worcester county, Massachusetts 
(Princeton or Sturbridge), and son of Walter ALLEN and Harriet HOLBROOK, was 
born at Lebanon, Madison county, New York, July 23, 1820, married Harriet A. 
BUELL, January 12, 1842; came to Linn in 1852, settling on section 24 and 
adding later more than half of section 23 - more than a square mile in all.  He 
and his wife had been teachers; and a fairly educated landholder usually finds 
some fair place in the esteem of his townsmen.  Mr. ALLEN was a member of the 
county board seven times between 1854 and 1867, and chairman in 1866; member of 
Assembly in 1855; assessor more than twenty years; and justice of the peace 
from 1866 to his death, February 26, 1899.  Mrs. ALLEN, daughter of Ira BUELL 
and Chloe HOLCOMB, was born at Plymouth, Chenango county, January 3, 1821, and 
died December 16, 1895.
