General Notes: Husband - Samuel Allen

---

At the beginning of the war of the Revolution, although but eighteen years of age, he raised a company of "Minute Men" whose self imposed duty was to guard the Jersey shore from Sandy Hook to Cape May. (See "American Ancestry," Vol. VIII, pp. 107-8). He died and was buried on his own farm by the side of his wife who died 30 years previous.

A Quaker by religious profession, and lame from his birth, he inherited from his father, on the north shore of Squan River, a tract of land miles in extent, which, being by this time extensively under cultivation, placed the owner among the richest landed proprietors of the country. When the Revolution became rampant it found Captain Samuel Allen a youth of eighteen and feudal lord among his people because of his vast estate in land-burning with all the fire of adventure which had brought his remote ancestors from England to the wild coast of Massachusetts, and those less remote from New England to New Jersey.
