ARTICLE: 'THOMAS ALLISON - BEAVER COUNTY GUNSMITH
AN ARTIST IN WOOD, BRASS AND IRON' by Frederick L. Schry,
Milestones Vol 12 No 1--Spring 1987

Thomas Allison (1786-1836) started as a rifle maker in Pittsburgh where he placed an advertisement in the Pittsburgh Gazette on March 30,1810. In 1818 we find him located in New Sewickley Township, Beaver County, where he was taxed as a gunsmith with a property valuation of $100.00 on his occupation. He lived and worked in New Sewickley Township as a gunsmith till his death in 1836. It is highly probable that he lived in the south western corner of the township near Freedom and close to the Ohio River - a highly traveled area.

NOTE: Thomas was first married to Lydia Herring on 12 Apr 1810. They had seven known children. James B., Joel F., John H., Erasmus, Ammey, George W. and Mary. Thomas remarried to Mary (unknown). Mary had a son Benjamin to another marriage.

Allison lineage back to Thomas Allanson, English extraction, London.
