defense of the town. From a statement made by Colonel Burd in a letter, we know that but three of the citizens possessed guns and two of these were out of order. It is evident that the men of the company were armed with weapons of various descriptions, such as swords, pistols, pikes, axes, and clubs. Rev. Roth wrote to the governor two days later, requesting guns and ammunition. The letter delivered to the gov- ernor by George Wolf, who was chosen captain of the company, was, verbatim, as follows:

Rev. Roth died in 1764 and was buried in the churchyard of the church in Upper Saucon township.

Colonel Burd's letter to William Allen, which here follows, gives considerable information re- garding the situation.

FORT AUGUSTA, IO Jan. 1764.

"DEAR SIR: Your safe arrivall in England with the young ladys, your daughters, gave your many friends here great pleasure amongst which number I beg leave to be esteem'd one.

"I expected ere now to have been pleasantly situated at Northampton with my family, but the alteration of our affairs in America by the new Indian War, has obliged me to think of settling in the interior parts of the Province. Should a peace be patched up again with those Infamous Barbar- ians before they feel the weight of the British Arms and be made thoroughly sensible of their folly and presumption by a vigorous prosecution of the Present War in their own Country, I am of opinion a peace with them would only be post- poning a heavier shock then we have lately felt

from the perfidy of that faithless crew and the safety of our fronteers very precarious.

"I was at Northampton in October last and ar- rived there of a Friday Evening when I sent off a letter to Mr. Gordon at Easton begging the favor of his company at Northampton next morning, in order to consult what might be necessary for the good of the town. I was obliged by the Governor's instructions to me to leave Northampton on the Sunday morning and to Repair to this place as fast as possible as by General Amherst's Intelligence to his Hon. the Enemy had Determined in their Grand Council at Lake Huron to attack Detroit, Pitsburg, Fort Augusta, and Niagara immediately, and their conclusion was if they succeeded in these severall attacks they would be sure of the country, but with- out their reductions it was in vain for them to carry on the War against the English.

"On the Saturday morning the town of North- ampton was crowded with men, women, and chil- dren, flying from the Enemy whom they said was within a few miles of the town killing all before them and burning the houses, upon which I collected the men of the town together in order to make a stand and save the people, with the place; but found only four Guns in the town, one of which my own and two out of order and no ammunition. [ remained there expecting Mr. Gordon untill three in the afternoon when I concluded to go to Beth- lehem to see how matters were there and I found that place likewise crowded with the fugatives and wounded people. Mr. Gordon had been there on his way to me but did not light from his horse. Upon the news he immediately returned to Easton to his family. I stayed all night and next morn- ing set off for this place where I have remained ever since and don't know when my duty will per- mit me to return to my family.

"The confusion the town of Northampton was in, prevented me from doing anything with the people concerning the meadow lots and I went from Phil- adelphia to Northampton and I acquainted your good son and Mr. Stewart with the people's prop- ositions to me, which was to rent the uncleared meadow in lotts of five acres each, for seven years, the first four years to pay no rent, but have the benefit of the lott for clearing and fencing, the remaining three years to pay you Twenty Shilling Sterling a year and to deliver you up the five acre lott under good substantial fence and in good grass fit for the Sythe, such as well improved mead- ows ought to be. We had concluded to lett out lotts upon the above terms, and I went to Northampton for that purpose but was disappointed of my in- tention as I have mentioned before. The town was increasing but I suppose now it is quite at a stand, they had not got Water in the Well but I gave orders to go on with it. I cannot Remember the Depth of it. I left my Memorandum book at Lancaster in which I had noted every particular and therefore hope you'll excuse me.

"There is nothing new here worthy of your notice, the killing of 6 Indians in Conostago Manor and 14 in Lancaster gaol by the Frontier People of this County and Cumberland you have no doubt been informed of.

"I beg my kind compliments to the young gentm. your Sons and young ladys your Daughters, and that you would believe me with unalterable Regard, Dear Sir,

"Your sincerely affectionate obed. humble servant, "JAMES BURD."

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

In another letter Colonel Burd states he had laid aside all thought of living in Northampton, on account of the Indian troubles. He suggest- ed that directions concerning the management of the town should be given to the best man to be found in the town, and states that Mr. Allen's house should have a new roof and that many of the inhabitants had cut considerable timber. The Indians, of which there was only a small band, returned to their mountain retreats after com- mitting these brutal murders and did not ap- proach the town. In the same year ( 1763) ef- forts were made to have the seat of justice re- moved to Allentown, but the influence of the Penns, who were the proprietors of Easton, pre- vented it.

Correspondence relating to early history .- In a letter dated Philadelphia, August 4, 1766, Joseph Shippen writes to Colonel Burd: "I ac- quainted Mr. James Allen with your offer of the house at Northampton for £300 or letting it to him for £20 per annum, but he declines both, and says you had better let it for £20 to the man who offers it, though he does not know him."

Lots sold-Ground rents .- William Allen ex- ecuted the first deeds, giving title to lots in his new town, on June 1, 1765. They were in printed form with blank spaces for the neces- sary insertions, and were given "in consideration of the charge and expense which the said A. B. hath already expended in building upon and im- proving the lot of ground mentioned and de- scribed, and also for and in consideration of rent, conditions and covenants, hereinafter reserved and mentioned to be paid, done and performed on the part of the said A. B. his heirs and as- signs, and of the sum of five shillings." The free use and privilege of a common or commons was permitted and the quit rent, amounting to nine shillings sterling, was to be paid on the first of June, annually. Records have been found of deeds granted on the above date to Jacob Feni- gel, for lot No. 123, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Linden streets, to Peter Rhoads, for lot No. 348, on the east side of Seventh above Linden ; to Jacob Brang, for lot No. 384, on the West side of South Seventh street, below Wal- nut ; to James Burd, for Lot No. 471, on the north side of Hamilton street, near Eighth, later owned by Jacob Newhard, Sr., and to David Deshler, for a lot on the west side of South Sev- enth street, near Union.

Incidents of Early History .- In 1768, James Read, prothonotary of Berks county, paid a visit to Allentown, as appears from the following let- ter :

"To James Read, Esq., Prothonotary, Reading.

From Edward Shippen, Lancaster, 27 June, 1768. Monday Evening.

"Doctor Kuhn was so kind just now as to send up his son with your acceptable favour of this day's date, tho' you say Sunday noon. I am well pleased to find you are safe returned and that you had so very an agreeable journey, and such unexpected good company, and so merry a time with ye Citi- zens of Mr. Jamey Allen's town, and am glad that you are coming to see us again. I owe many visits in your debt; but you know the reason that I have not had the pleasure of discharging at least some of them this Spring. Mr. Hamilton is not yet come ; but I expect notice from him by the next Post of his design of setting off very soon, that he may have 10 or 12 days to spend with us before August court. William Allen, Esq., our Sagacious

396

Chief Justice intimated to us to other day that Mr. H. intended to bring Miss Allen up with him, and if so doubtless, but some Miss or other will accompany her."

It seems that James Allen had, as late as 1769, owned a much larger amount of land than he was taxed with in 1776, and had promised to convey to the lot-holders one thousand acres of land in trust, and for some reason, which does. not appear, they released him from the obliga- tion, as the following document shows:

"Know all men that we the subscribers proprie- tors of Lots in the Town of Northampton do here- by certify that Mr. James Allen hath declared to us his intention of conveying in Trust for the In- habitants of this Town a thousand Acres of Land called Barrens as an open free common in pur- suance of a promise made by his father William Allen Esqr Now we do hereby certify and make known that we the present Freeholders of the said Town do refuse to accept of such conveyance from him and do discharge him and his said father Wil- liam Allen Esquire from any promise made by either of them to us to that purpose and we do here- by release to the said William Allen and James Allen any right or claim that we have or may have to the said common or any demand from them on that account. Witness our hands and seals this first day of May, 1769 Henry Kookin, Martin Derr. George Shreiber, Peter Miller, Lawrence Hauck, Martin Frolich, Bartle Huber, Simon Brenner, Mar- garet Brang, Peter Bischoff, George Shap, Abraham Albert, Leonard Abel, Johann Miller, Tobias Dib- ber, Frederick Sheckler, Mathias Wagner, Henry Hagenbuch, Philip Kugler, David Deshler, Jacob Mohr, and Daniel Nunnemacher. Acknowledgment taken before Henry Kookin one of the Justices of the Peace of Northampton County May Ist, 1769."

That the inhabitants of Northampton were an enterprising people is demonstrated by the fact that as early as 1774 a fair was held in the town, permission having been given by the pro- prietors. The following document, entitled "Grant of liberty to hold Fairs in the Town of Northampton," signed by John Penn, October I, 1774, in the fourteenth year of the reign of George Third, with the great seal attached, is in the possession of the Historical Society of Penn- sylvania :

"Thomas Penn and John Penn, Esquires, true and absolute Proprietaries and Governors in Chief of the province of Pennsylvania and counties of Newcastle, Kent, and Sussex, on Delaware. Whereas it hath been represented to us that it would be of great service and utility to the Inhabitants of the Town and County of Northampton that two Fairs be held yearly in the said town of Northampton for buying and selling goods, wares, merchandize and cattle : Know ye, that we favouring the reasonable request of the said Inhabitants and considering the flourishing state to which the said Town hath ar- rived through their Industry, have of our own free will, granted and do by these presents, for us, our heirs and successors, grant to the present and suc-

ceeding Inhabitants of the said Town that they shall and may forever hereafter have and keep within the said Town of Northampton two Fairs in the year, the one of them to begin on the first Wed- nesday of May, yearly, to be held in Allen street, and to continue that day and the next day follow- ing, and the other of the said Fairs to be held in the aforesaid place on the first Wednesday of No- vember every year and the next day after it, with all the liberties and customs to such Fairs incident or belonging."

James Allen, Proprietor, 1767 .- Chief Justice William Allen deeded to his son, James Allen, all his land in and around the town. The deed was dated January 5, 1767, and conveyed 3,338 acres and 114 perches. The witnesses to the deed were Alexander Stuart and William Allen, Jr. It was acknowledged before George Tay- lor, Justice of the Peace, on January 13th,. and recorded February 13, 1767. A draft of the land conveyed in this deed is here reproduced. Tract No. 2 then contained the town of Allen- town, which now covers nearly the entire tract.

ALLEN FAMILY.

William Allen, the founder of Allentown, was born in Philadelphia, August 5, 1704. He was the son of William Allen, a merchant of Philadelphia, who died in Philadelphia, August 30, 1725, aged 55 years, and who was a native of Ireland, as he mentions in his will his sister, Catharine Cally, living at Dungannon, Ireland, and his uncle, William Craige, of the same place. His grandfather was John Allen, of Dungan- non, Ireland, who was married to a sister of Wil- liam Craige, and who fled from Stirlingshire, Scotland, to escape the persecution of the Presby- terians by James I, of Scotland. William Allen, the elder, married about 1700, Mary, daughter of Thomas and Susanna Budd, a sister of Rose Budd, whose daughter, Sarah Plumley, married Edward Shippen, of Lancaster. Mrs. Allen was born in Burlington, April 7, 1679, and died in Philadelphia, April 20, 1760.

William Allen, the elder's will, dated July 3, 1725, and probated September 13, 1725, men- tions only two children, although he had three other sons, John, Thomas, and James. The eld- est surviving son, John, died, it seems, soon after his father and without issue, his mother not men- tioning him in her will, but leaving everything to her son William except a few legacies to col- lateral relations.

William Allen was baptized August 17, 1704, in the First Presbyterian church in Philadelphia. He was married in Christ church, February 16, 1733 (old style), to Margaret Hamilton, daugh- ter of Andrew Hamilton, Provincial Councillor and Lieutenant Governor under William Penn,

and sister of James Hamilton, also Lieutenant Governor. Mrs. Allen was born in 1709 and died in Philadelphia, May 13, 1760.

The positions which William Allen obtained

conjectured from the direction in his father's will that five hundred pounds sterling be re- mitted to him in London for his expenses there. He was then twenty-one, perhaps studying law at

the date of the merchants' and chief citizens' agreement to take the money of the Lower counties at their face value, to which his signa- ture appears; he engaged in trade.

On October 3, 1727, he was elected a common councilman of Philadelphia, but whether then in the city or not, did not attend until May 16, 1728, the third meeting afterward. In 1731, he became a member of the Assembly, serving until 1739. In 1732 he was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania. In October, 1735, he was chosen mayor of Philadelphia, and at the end of his term, the Hall of Assembly, just finished, was opened with the collation customary front an outgoing mayor.

The Pennsylvania Gazette of September 30, 1736, says: "Thursday last, William Allen, Esq., Mayor of this city for the year past, made a Feast for his citizens at the State house, to which all the Strangers in town of note were also invited. Those who are Judges of such things say that considering the Delicacy of the Viands, and the Excellency of the Wines, the great Number of Guests, and yet the Easiness and Order with which the whole was conducted, it was the most grand and the most elegant en- tertainment that has been made in these Parts of America."

With Andrew Hamilton, he purchased the ground where the old state house is located, and held it until the province was able to reimburse him. The state house having been erected at the charge of the province, but the estate and in- heritance in the land yet remaining in Hamilton

and Allen, by Act of the General Assembly, passed February 20, 1735, they were required to convey to John Kinsey, of Philadelphia, Joseph Kirkbridge, Jr., of Bucks county, Caleb Cow- pland, of Chester county, and Thomas Edwards, of Lancaster county, as Trustees of the Free- men of the Province, their estate in the land.
