ALEXANDER H. VAN HORN. The Van Horns came from Hoorne, in Holland, with the first settlers of New York, and the ancestor of the branch of the family of which Alexander H. Van Horn is a representative was Bernard Van Horn, captain of a Dutch trading vessel, who settled in Tinicum, Bucks county, Pennsylvania.

The line of descent is traced through Sam-

uel Van Horn, who was born in Tinicum, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in November, 1752, and died June, 1852, nearly one hundred years old. He was apprenticed in his boyhood to a Quaker who was a chair and spinning wheel maker in Philadelphia. While in his employ the Revolutionary war broke out, and young Sam- uel was among the first to enlist under General Washington, serving four years in the struggle for independence. He married Kathryn Evens, daughter of Edwin Evens, of Gwynedd, Mont- gomery county, Pennsylvania. They began their married life in Hamilton township, Monroe county, and in May of 1780 she rode from Ham- ilton to Philadelphia on horseback to escape from the Indians, carrying her eldest son Isaac, then a babe of six weeks old, in her arms, her hus- band being still in the service of his country. At the close of the war they returned to Hamilton township. The Indians still troubled them, and in the summer of 1786 Mrs. Van Horn shot an Indian who was hidden behind the out-door oven, but whose feathers in his headdress showed above the same, thus disclosing his hiding place. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Van Horn had five chil- dren, all born at Hamilton: Isaac, see forward ; Edwin, married Nancy Hicks; Samuel, married Rachel Thomas; Amos, married Ellen Dodson ; and Benjamin. Samuel Van Horn and his family removed to Salem, Luzerne county, Pennsylva- nia, in 1794. He later went to Kentucky with his sons Amos and Benjamin, but at the ad- vanced age of eighty-six years returned to Sa- lem on a visit. Returning to Kentucky, he died there.

Isaac Van Horn, son of Samuel and Kathryn (Evens) Van Horn, was born in Hamilton township, Monroe county, Pennsylvania, April 2, 1780, and died November 26, 1852. He was married at Salem, Luzerne county, October 2, 1801, to Elizabeth Dodson, born in Mahoning Valley, Carbon county, Pennsylvania, Septem- ber 24, 1783, died October 24, 1867, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Rhodes) Dodson. Sam- uel Dodson was a member of the Church of Eng- land, while his first wife, a daughter of Samuel Rhodes, and his second wife, Judith Gregory, who was born on the ocean when her parents were coming to this country, were Moravians, and their children were baptized in the Moravian Church, but in 1808 joined the Methodist Epis- copal Church, in which their children were there- after brought up. Elizabeth (Dodson) Van Horn had an elder sister Abbie, who was cap- tured by the Indians in April, 1780, when she was thirteen years old, and held captive until

Abram Van Horn, second son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Dodson) Van Horn, was born at Sa- lem, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, February 29, 1804, and died in 1891, aged eighty-six years. He was a farmer in Hunlock township, and fol- lowed that pursuit throughout the active years of his life. He married, October 2, 1829, Olive Hubbs, daughter of William Hubbs, of New York, and wife Hannah Ostrander, whose fath- er was a colonel under General Washington ; she died in 1897, aged ninety years. Colonel Os- trander was a man of position and great wealth for his day, holding under grant from the crown one of the large estates for which New York was famous in colonial days.

Alexander H. Van Horn, second son of Abram and Olive (Hubbs) Van Horn, was born

in Hunlock township, Luzerne county, February 22, 1833. He attended the common schools and pursued advanced studies at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pensylvania. He became connected with the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company at Summit Hill, Carbon county, in 1855, and re- mained as superintendent until 1864, when he engaged in the coal business for himself, contin- uing until January 1, 1868, and conducting an ex- tensive business. In 1871 he removed to Wilkes-Barre and became interested in various corporations. He was elected a director of the Wilkes-Barre Deposit and Savings Bank, 1872, and was elected president in 1880, which posi- tion he still holds, being one of the oldest bank officers in the city. This bank, erected in 1898, is one of the most beautiful bank buildings in the Wyoming valley. Mr. Van Horn is also in- terested in a number of other business enterprises in Wilkes-Barre. He is a Republican in politics, and for eight years between 1870 and 1880 was a director of schools. He and his family attend the Presbyterian Church.

Mr. Van Horn married, in 1867, Harriet Ab- bott, daughter of James H. Abbott, a carpenter and joiner by trade, at Summit . Hill, Carbon county, where he died in 1872. Two children were born of this marriage: Edwin S .. superin- tendent of the Wilkes-Barre Iron Manufacturing Company, and Maud, wife of Dr. Meixell, of Wilkes-Barre. The mother of these children died in 1875, aged thirty-nine years. Mr. Van Horn was married ( second) April 23, 1885, to Dora Louisa Reading, born in Urbana, Illinois, March 4, 1857, daughter of Augustus Bertron and Mary Elizabeth (Barber) Reading. They had four children: Olive, Gertrude, Mary and dora.

Col. John Reading, the ancestor of Mrs. Van Horn, was a man of gentle birth and good edu- cation. He came to New Jersey about 1687, probably from London, England, where his fam- ily dates back to the thirteenth century. His son, Gov. John Reading, great-great-great-grand- father of Dora Louisa Reading, was born in Camden, New Jersey, one of two children, him- self and Elise. He was educated in Eng- land, and was the wealthiest man in Hunterdon county, New Jersey. He held many offices of trust and responsibility under King George III. At his father's death he was chosen by the king to run the boundary lines between New Jersey and New York. His son, Hon. Joseph Reading, great-great-grandfather of Dora Louisa Reading. was one of the leading men of his day, judge of common pleas, presiding judge of the orphans'

court, and served in the council. He was a mem- ber of Amwell Presbyterian Church. His son, Samuel Ryerson Reading, was the great-grand- father of Dora Louisa Reading. William An- derson Reading, son of Samuel Ryerson Reading. and grandfather of Dora Louisa Reading, re- ceived under will of his father a large estate on the banks of the Delaware river, near Raven Rock, a part of which is still in the possession of the family. His son, Augustus Bertron Read- ing, was father of Mrs. Dora Louisa (Reading) Van Horn. H. E. H.

FRED MARTIN ALLEN, identified with the educational interests of the city of Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania, in that he established and has conducted the institution known as the Wilkes-Barre Business College, traces his an- cestry back to Samuel Allen, who came to Amer- ica in the "Mayflower" in 1620. Said Samuel Allen and wife Ann settled at Braintree, Massa- chusetts, where was born a son Samuel in 1632. This son is the American representative of the Allen family, and the descendants of the branch to which Fred Martin, the subject of our sketch, belongs, is as follows : Ebenezer (2), son of Samuel (1). born 1674. Jacob (3), son of. Ebenezer, born 1702. Jacob (4), son of Jacob, born 1739. He was captain of a company in the Revolutionary war, and was killed at Saratoga at the capture of Burgoyne, September 19, 1777. He had a son Jacob (5), born 1763. Jacob (6), son of Captain Jacob, as above, was a lieutenant in his father's company and stood by his side when he was killed at the surrender of Burgoyne. He married Susanna Alden, sister of John Alden, the Puritan. They moved to Cummington, Massa- chusetts, and Almon was born 1797. He died 1836, and is buried in the cemetery at Mansfield, Pennsylvania, which cemetery he gave to the town. Almon (7), son of Jacob, married Polly Bates, and they had Fordyce Almon (8), born at Cummington, Massachusetts, 1820, married to Jane Martin 1852, and had Fred Martin (9), subject of this sketch, born October 13, 1854, at Smethport, Mckean county, Pennsylvania.

Fordyce Almon Allen, eldest child of Almon and Polly (Bates) Allen, was born at Cumming- ton, Massachusetts, in 1820. He was educated in the public schools of Pennsylvania, to which state his parents removed soon after his birth. The great amount of knowledge which he ac- quired in after years was due entirely to his in- dustry and earnestness as a student. He was an omnivorous reader. and had the happy faculty of being able to select and remember what was best

worth selecting and remembering. He began teaching in the public schools of Coudersport, Potter county, Pennsylvania, and Smethport, Mc- Kean county, Pennsylvania. He was also county superintendent of schools of Mckean county. About the year 1857 he established a private school at West Chester, Chester county, Penn- sylvania, from which school in later years grew the West Chester State Normal School.

In 1864 he became principal of the Mansfield State Normal School, located at Mansfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania. This position he held al- most continuously until the time of his death in the year 1880. This school is greatly indebted to him for its success. He took charge when its fortunes were at the lowest ebb, and by his in- domitable courage, energy and strength of char- acter elevated it to the front rank of the state nor- mal schools of Pennsylvania. He also identified himself with the interests of the town of Mans- field ; was one of the projectors of the widely known Mansfield Fair: was a vestryman in the Episcopal Church of the town, and secured the passage by the legislature of a prohibitory law forbidding the sale of intoxicants within two miles of the Mansfield State Normal School. Notwithstanding the fact that he was a self-edu- cated man, he was held to be one of the educa- tional authorities on teaching in the United States. Up to the time of his death he had con- ducted more county teachers' institutes in the dif- ferent states of the Union than any other person, and was noted as an instructive and entertaining lecturer. He was at the time of his death presi- dent of the State Agricultural Society. He was also a member of the Free and Accepted Masons. At the time of the invasion of Pennsylvania by the rebels, he was one of the thirty-day militia men, stationed at Reading, Pennsylvania. In politics he was of the Republican party. Mr. Allen married Jane Lovicy Martin, daughter of Alexander Martin, a prominent lumberman of Portage, New York. There was born to them : I. Fred Martin, the subject of this sketch. 2. Willis Gaylord, died in infancy. 3. George Fordyce, drowned in Narragansett Bay from school-ship "Portsmouth," on which he was serving. 4. Stella Rae, who still resides with her mother at Mansfield, Pennsylvania.

Fred Martin Allen, eldest child of Fordyce Almon and Jane (Martin) Allen, was born at Smethport, Mckean county, Pennsylvania, Oc- tober 13, 1854. At the age of three years his parents removed to West Chester, Chester county, Pennsylvania, and at the age of ten to Mansfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, where he resided

until he attained the age of twenty-four years. a Free and Accepted Mason, and in politics is a He was educated in the public schools and in the Republican. State Normal School of Mansfield, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the Normal School in 1875; from the Oberlin Telegraph School in 1876; from the Lowell Business College of Binghamton, New York, in 1877; and from the Eastman Business College of Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1882. For several years he taught in the Normal School and kept the books, and later was appointed steward of said institution, in which capacity he was serving at the time of his father's death.

In the year 1880 he established a business col- lege in Mansfield in a building which he had con- structed for the purpose. This business he con- ducted until 1882, when, believing that the town was too small for a school of the kind, he removed it to Elmira, New York, and established it in what was known as the Advertiser Building. Forty students accompanied Mr. Allen to Elmira, and a special car was chartered for the purpose. The opening of Mr. Allen's school in Elmira was the dawn of the up-to-date teaching of business in that section, and the present Elmira School of Commerce practically embodies the principles set forth at the time of its inception.

In January, 1886, having sold his Elmira College, he took charge of the Williamsport Com- mercial College, which he had purchased. This school he conducted until the year 1898, when he sold it and removed to Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, and established the Wilkes- Barre Business College, of which he is still presi- dent. This institution is very prosperous, and is considered as the leading school of the kind in the Wyoming Valley, being accorded the patronage of a most excellent body of young men and wo- men. (1906).

Mr. Allen married. August 6, 1879, at Mans- field, Pennsylvania, Clara Holloway Wentworth, second daughter of Rev. J. B. Wentworth, D. D., clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who was at that time presiding elder of the El- mira district, and resided at Mansfield. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are the parents of three children : I. Jean Martin, married Percy Miles Safford, great-grandson of Elisha Blackman, so promi- nently connected with the events of the Wyoming massacre ; resides at Muskegon, Michigan, and has one child, Margaret. 2. Richard Went- worth, accountant, resides at present ( 1906) at Virginia, Minnesota. 3. Elizabeth Stephenia, lives with parents at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Mr. Allen is a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania ;

Mrs. Allen is the daughter of the late John Brodhead Wentworth, D. D., a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Genesee Confer- ence, New York. Dr. Wentworth was born in Dover, New Hampshire, in 1826; graduated with honors from Vermont University in 1851 ; and soon after married Clara M. Drew, daughter of Stephen Drew, M. D., of New Hampshire. His father, Charles Drew, of Virginia, liberated about the year 1820 over fifty slaves and gave to each an acre of land. Dr. Wentworth was a son of Richard Wentworth and Betsey Brodhead Went- worth. Betsey Brodhead was a daughter of Cap- tain Luke Brodhead, of Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, a captain of Pennsylvania cavalry during the Revolutionary war.

Mrs. Allen possesses a valuable set of library edition books on the Wentworth family. These volumes were compiled by the late Hon. John Wentworth, the first mayor of Chicago, Illinois, the most picturesque and prominent figure of old Chicago. He was familiarly known as "Long John Wentworth" on account of his extreme height, and for thirty years he employed agents throughout Europe and America collecting data of the Wentworth family. From this data we learn that the Wentworth family can be traced in an unbroken line to the year 1066, the time of William the Conqueror, back of which time no family except royalty can be traced accurately as there were no surnames. In the early history of this country the Wentworths took a prominent part, two men, John Wentworth and Benning Wentworth, having been governors of New Hampshire under King George. H. E. H.
