(III) Samuel (3), eldest son of Samuel (2) Allen, was born at Bridgewater, Massachusetts, 1660, died there 1750. He was a yeoman and an influential citizen. He lived near his father, in the east part of the township, about two miles from the meeting house and mill and chief part of the town. His homestead was in front of Thomas Roger's house. He died there nine years before his son, Matthew Allen, gave the deed of the burying ground. Samuel Allen was donor of the one hundred rods to the town for the burying ground. When he gave the land, or how many graves there were in the spot in 1703, is uncertain, but this was probably the first land used for a public burying ground in East Bridgewater. These one hundred rods are supposed to be the high ground in the southwestern part of the graveyard, being the oldest part of the tract. The will of Samuel Allen was dated 1736, and his estate was divided among his six children in 1750. The whole of the estate, including the homestead, was bounded north- westerly by the road, this being about seven- teen rods wide, and southwesterly by Mat- field river or meadow in the river. Samuel Allen Sr. and Samuel Allen Jr. with five others, July 11, 1685, petitioned the general court for a roadway and bridge across the Matfield river at Joppa, bounding their lands. He married (first) 1685, Rebeckah, daughter of John Carey ; she died in 1697. Children : I. Samuel, born 1686; married, 1728, Jane Turner, of Weymouth. 2. Ephraim, born

(IV) Joseph, fifth son of Samuel (3) Allen, was born at East Bridgewater, Massa- chusetts, 1701, died at Scotland (Windham); Connecticut, January 1, 1777. He was reared on his father's farm, receiving the meagre advantages of the colony at Bridgewater. At the age of twenty-six he immigrated with other settlers to Connecticut, settling at Newent, formerly a part of Norwich, in 1727. This was called the Newent Society, and was organ- ized in 1723. It received its name in remem- brance of a place called Newent, in Glouces- tershire, England. He did not remain long here, as he soon removed to Hanover, a near- by town, where he built a saw mill and made other improvements. He soon removed to Scotland, a part of old Windham, in Wind- ham county, Connecticut, after the birth of his first child, and bought land January 13, 173I. Here he became prominent both in church and in affairs of the town. He engaged in farm- ing and blacksmithing in a small way. He became identified with nineteen others with the Separatist church. For many years the regular church of Scotland extorted from its members and obliged them to pay their pro- portion of taxes for the support of its minis- try, and when they refused to comply with their demands their cattle or goods were taken by distraint or themselves imprisoned in Wind- ham jail. On the prospect of having to pay rates to the building of the new meeting house in 1773, they petitioned the general assembly for relief, and that body gave a favorable re- sponse, granting them release from the burden of this unjust taxation, that would compel them to build the house in which they did not expect to worship in and support its ministry. Whether Joseph Allen was obliged to give up his goods or cattle or suffer imprisonment there is no record, but knowing the firmness of character of the Allen stock it is safe to say that he fought against such injustice.

He was reared at Scotland on his father's homestead, and when but sixteen years of age enlisted in the revolution with a company of boys, 1783, to strengthen the army at the close of the war, serving as wag- oner. He was married when a young man, and with his young wife took up a farm at Canterbury, consisting of two hundred acres in the south part of the township. He raised the common crops, also horses, cattle ar 1 sheep, and sold large quantities of wood for fuel. His butter and cheese he sold in Provi- dence and Norwich. He was also a manufac- turer of woolen goods with his son Ebenezer at Hanover. The original woolen mill was built by the father, Pratt Allen, and was destroyed by fire in 1834, and was rebuilt by Ebenezer. The plant was again destroyed by fire in 1862 and rebuilt by Colonel Ethan Allen, son of Ebenezer. Pratt Allen was a righteous man and a member of the Canter- bury church with his wife, both being members in full communion.

He was brought up on his father's farm, acquiring the usual common school education of a farmer's son at that period. He later attended the academy at Wilbraham, Massachusetts, and
taught school until the age of twenty-one. After graduation he was married, and in 1813 settled in Hanover, in the town of Sprague, and commenced the manufacture of cotton and woolen goods with his father, also had the grist mill. In his woolen manufacture he employed eight sets of machinery, and for a time made woolen flannels known as Allen's striped flan- nel, used in the manufacture of underwear. He employed in the neighborhood of fifty hands, and found a ready market for his product in New York, New London and Sag Harbor. At his death in 1844, his sons, Ethan and Elisha M., formed the firm of E. & E. M. Allen, and after enlarging the business and increasing his help to one hundred hands en - tered into the manufacture of overcoatings and ladies dress goods, continuing until 1896 In 1898 the plant was sold to outside capital.

(VIII) Samuel Coit Morgan, third son of Deacon Ebenezer Allen, was born at Lisbon, Connecticut, 1828, died at Paterson, New Jer- sey, June 7, 1877. His elementary education was acquired in the nearby district school, supplemented by a course at the Woodstock (Connecticut) Academy, remaining up to eighteen years of age. Shortly afterward he entered the woolen mill operated by his brother, in order to learn the business, remain- ing four years. He gave this up for a time and removed to New York City, where he was clerk for four years with Nathan Grant, in the wholesale butter and cheese business at No. 127 West street. He subsequently entered into partnership with his brother, Barnabas H. Allen, in 1855, under the firm name of Allen & Brother, dealers in provisions, at No. 282 Washington street, New York City. The brothers did a successful business for sixteen years, and they were headquarters for hams, pork, lard, beef and lamb. In 1870 the firm was dissolved and the senior member pur- chased with his brother, Colonel Ethan Allen, a woolen factory equipment at Baltic, Connec- ticut, for eleven thousand dollars, and formed the firm of Allen & Brother. They engaged in the manufacture of the fabric known as the Allen Tweed, which became widely known throughout the trade. About 1865, after his marriage, he removed to Paterson, New Jer- sey, and continued with his brother in the woolen manufacture until his death. The senior Allen took charge of the manufactur- ing end of the business, while Samuel attended to the marketing of their product in the New York house. It was owing to his persistent application in the furthering of their interests that he suffered an undermining of his health, necessitating a retirement from active man- agement just prior to his decease. In personal respects Mr. Allen was a man of the highest and exemplary character. He was an honest, industrious and philanthropic citizen, devoted to the obligations of family and friendly attachment, broad and liberal in his views,
ever eminently just with all he was associated with. In politics he was the true type of Re- publican. He was a member of the Congre- gational church at Paterson. He was formerly a member of the New York Produce Ex- change. He died at Paterson, New Jersey, June 7, 1877, in the forty-ninth year of his age.

Henry Crosby, referred to below. 4. Samuel Morgan, born October 5, 1874; married, April, 1899, Catherine Orr ; children : i. Samuel Coit Morgan ; ii. Margaret Brewster. 5. Elisha Morgan, born 1876, died 1877.
(IX) Hon. Henry Crosby, son of Samuel Coit Morgan Allen, was born in Paterson, New Jersey, May 13, 1872. His elementary educational training was received in private schools of Paterson, supplemented by a course at Tallman Seminary, continuing until four- teen years of age. He then took a year's course in Williams Academy at Stockbridge, Massa- chusetts, and later a year at University School at Baltimore, Maryland, later a year at the McChesney Preparatory School at Paterson, followed by one year in St. Paul's School at Garden City, New York, where he graduated in 1889 and entered Yale University at New Haven, Connecticut, from which he graduated in 1893, receiving the degree of A. B. Shortly afterward he entered the New York Law School, graduating in 1895 with degree of LL. B. He subsequently entered the law office of Judge Francis Scott, of Paterson, where he perfected himself in study of law up to No- vember, 1895, when he passed examinations and was admitted to the New Jersey bar for practice. His first office was in the Paterson National Bank building, which was destroyed by fire during the memorable conflagration of 1902. Mr. Allen for a time relinquished his practice for travel abroad for health and pleas- ure, returning to Paterson in April, 1903, when he opened offices in the United Bank building. In November, 1904, Mr. Allen was the choice of Republicans from the sixth New Jersey dis- trict for member of congress, and was elected to fill that position. He remained one term, serving on committees on manufactures and militia. He did not seek a re-nomination. He
