Margaret Allen died May 22, 1810, aged 75 years. Mrs. Allen was familiarly known as Granny Allen and owned two pieces of property near the eastern Bridge, East Main street. She conducted a tavern in a log building which stood on the high ground now occupied by the residence of the late William Shipley. Her tavern stand was known as the Pinnacle of Granny Allen's Hill on account of its high location.
