General Notes: Husband - Isaac Allerton


Little is known of his history besides that he was a farmer. He was a tall man and had some local prominence as an athlete. Before the Revolutionary war he was possessed of much wealth, but by exchanging his produce to supply the Continental army, taking his pay in paper money, he lost nearly all he had accumulated. Seeking to retrieve his fortune, he moved to Amenia, Dutchess county, New York, in 1792, and later died there. He had in his possession many relics of the war for national independence, including a broad-axe with which was hewed the logs for the first building erected by the Pilgrim fathers; also a fuzee-gun captured from an old Indian warrior.
