Van Allen, William, was born in the town of New Scotland, on the farm which he now owns, March 14, 1811.

Garrett, his great-grandfather, was a native of Holland, came to America and settled in the wilderness in the town of New Scotland, where he cleared a home on a tract of about 350 acres, where he spent his remaining days. He reared two sons, William and John, and two daughters. He lived to an extreme old age.

William, the grandfather, was born on the old homestead, September 11, 1744, where he spent his life clearing and improving the farm. His wife was Magdaline Van Wie, born April 8, 1752. They had but one child, Garrett W. Mr. Van Allen died May 28, 1795, and his wife June 33, 1836.

William, the subject, has spent his life on the homestead of his great-grandfather. He represented his town in the Board of Supervisors, and in other minor offices. In 1887 he tore down the old stone fort house, which was erected by his great grandfather. October 26, 1887, he married Mrs. Elizabeth (Moak) Moak, daughter of William Moak of New Scotland.
