Army, married July 9, 1744, Isabella, daughter of Sir Eustace Maxwell of Scotland. At the time of the birth of his son John. he was residing in Edinburgh Castle, to which Fortress his family with others had repaired for refuge during the Rebellion.

GENEALOGY.
John Allen received a liberal education for the times, and it is inferred that he was sent to Moro for that purpose. there learning a lesson in political Rights. Oct. 10. 1767, he married May, daughter of Mark Patton, and commenced in agricultural and mercantile pursuits. His farm known
as the "Inverney" contained 648 acres. He held several public positions, and in the Spring of 1770 was elected Representative in the Provincial Assembly, which he held "till his seat was declared vacant for non-attendance, June 28, 1776.
When accounts of the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill reached N. S. the strength of Mr. Allan's convictions led him to express sentiments regardless of consequences. The Provincial Government commenced measures looking to his apprehension, on a charge of treason to the King. His life being in danger he resolved to go to the U. S. : previously he had made several excursions among the Indians, and by his influence secured for the Colonies the co-operation of a large number of the Mic Mac Tribe. He left Cumberland. July 3. 1776, with a few emopanions in an open boat, and arrived at Passamaquoddy, August 11th. On the 13th they entered Machias river.
In October, 1776, he started for Boston arriving there Nov. Ist. He saw many prominent men and the members of the Council, but little promise of aid in furnishing the Indians could be given and he determined to visit Congress and lay the matter before that body. Nov. 29 he started frem Boston on horse back, arriving at Hartford. Dec. 6, crossed the Hudson at Fishkill, and later fell in with General Gates, whom he accompanied to the Head Quarters of General Washington, dining with Washington on Sunday, Dec. 22. He arrived at Baltimore on the 30th and was received by Congress. Jan. 4. 1777. Soon after he was appointed Superintendent of the Eastern Indians: laso he was commissioned as Colonel of Infantry, having received his instructions from John Hancock, left Balimore JJan. 17. reaching Boston, Feb. 3. In May he went on an Expedition to St. John River, from Machias, returning in August by

way of the lakes and rivers. A large number of Indians with families accompanied him in return. About this time he assumed his duties as Head of the Eastern Indian Department, supplying the Indians with food received from the Government of Mass., keeping an account with the head of each family. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining supplies, there was often a scarcity and the red men became insolent and threatening, he alone having to bear the blame, and his life was often in danger. In 1780 he was obliged to leave his two oldest sons with the Indians as hostages, where they remained more than one year. Colonal Allan remained at Machias 'till the close of the war. In July, 1783, he visited Boston and resigned his position. In 1784 he returned to Maine. He commenced business on Dudley, afterwards known as Allan's Island in the town of Eastport. In two years he closed his business and retired at Lubec Mills, where he resided until his death, Feb. 7. 1805. The burial was on the island where he once lived and now bears his name. In 1860, a Monument was erected to his memory by his descendants. An iron fence encloses the lot.
In 1776, the Provincial Council of N. S. offered a reward of £100 for the arrest of John Allan. The attempt did not meet with any success.
