9. ETHAN, S. of Joseph (8), b. 1738; Brig. Gen. Vermont Militia; Lieut. Col. Continental Army; Delegate to Cont. Congress. A vol- ume would not contain the eventful history of this grandson of Deer- field : a few points only will be noted; he was the head of the Green Mountain Boys in opposing the attempts of New York to take pos- session of the Hampshire Grants, and he often sent home her officers bearing the marks of the " Twigs of the wilderness," known as the "Birch Seal." On one occasion when the inhabitants of Guilford had been overawed by the Yorkers and were supposed to favor that side, Allen appeared there at the head of a party of Vermonters and made this characteristic proclamation: "I Ethan Allen do declare that I will give no quarter to the man woman or child who shall oppose me, and unless the inhabitants of Guilford peacefully submit to the au- thority of Vermont I sware that I will lay it as desolate as Sodom and Gomorrah by God!" This was effectual to do the business in hand. The best known event of his life, as bearing the widest results, was the capture of Ticonderoga, May 10, 1775, "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress." Less fortunate in a
rash attempt on Montreal he was himself taken prisoner and sent to England under conditions of great cruelty; while in England it is said an attempt was made to seduce him to the royal cause, and that in an interview with the king he was offered large grants of land in Vermont as a reward for his loyalty; his characteristic reply was to relate the parable of Christ's temptation when the devil offered him all the kingdoms of the earth, &c., adding, "and all the while the damned rascal didn't own a foot of it." He was exchanged in 1778 and was a leading spirit in the political and military affairs of Ver- mont; he wrote and published many papers; his "Allen's Theology or the Oracles of Reason," is perhaps the most widely known; he was a large landholder in Western Vermont and lived in several towns; he died at Burlington, Feb. 12, 1789, where a monument was erected to his memory by the State of Vermont.

LEVI, S. of Joseph (8), b. 1745, in Cornwall, Ct .; like his brothers, prominent in western Vermont as a speculator and politi- cian; was a Tory and rem. to Conn., where being detected in sup- plying provision to the British army on Long Island, he was impris- oned for six months in the jail at New London, and all his large es- tates in Vermont were confiscated; on his release he joined the Brit- ish army in South Carolina, and served through the war; he was in Canada, 1789-93; in England, 1793-6, when he came back to Ver- mont; he died in Burlington, in 1801.

13. IRA, S. of Joseph (8), b. 1751; Maj. Gen. of Vermont militia; was chief manager of the 300,000 acres on the Lake shore owned by himself and brothers; most of this eventually fell into his hands; he was active making improvements to attract settlers, by building new roads, mills, &c .; he projected the University of Vermont and gave £4,000 for an endowment. He was one of the foremost in the po- litical advancement of Vermont, and particularly in the skillful ne- gotiations with the British power in Canada, which induced the be- lief that Vermont would unite her fortunes to Canada, and which saved the infant nation from invasion; he was finally captured by an English ship while bringing home a vessel with 24,000 muskets and 24 brass cannon, which he had bought in France on a private specu- lation. The vessel and cargo were condemned as a prize because he had sailed from the port of an enemy; after eight years' litigation the decision was reversed, but the cost of the suit was his ruin; he died poor, an exile from his chosen state, for which he had done so much; he published many papers, the chief of which was his History of Vermont, issued at London, 1798; he d. at Philadelphia, Jan. 7, 1814.
