Joseph Allen and his son, Barton, moved from Grafton, NY to Auburn, NY, and then to Owego, NY. They came down the North Branch of the Susquehanna on a raft to Terrytown, PA in 1839. There was too much timber there for farming so they went on to New Albany, PA where Joseph put $20 down on 160 acres. He paid the rest in deer and fox hides. Barton returned to Grafton for the rest of the family. They returned in a wagon with all their wordly goods. Barton Allen's home still stands in New Albany, PA. Today it is a machine shop.
Five of seven Allen brothers enlisted in the Civil War from Albany and proved excellent soldiers. (See "Boys in Blue" by C.F. Heverly, 1898-Page 302)
Barton was born to Joseph and Parnell Jones in 1801.
He married ZERUAH “Ruey” JONES in 1822. They had 14 children;
Burton, Jones, Calvin, Warren, Mary, William, Oliver, Gardner, Lydia, Susan, John, James, Joseph, and Benajah.
