Lydia Jackson Allen was born September of 1861, her parents unknown at this time. In most census records, her mother’s birthplace is listed as Pennsylvania and her father’s in Vermont. The 1910 census records Ben and Lydia as married 29 years, so they married in about 1881, after the death of Ben’s first wife, Mariah Yetter.
Lydia was the step-mother to Benajah’s children. As she did not have family of her own, she went to live with John Rhodes Allen after Ben’s death in 1924. After John’s death in 1932, Warren Allen went to Bradford Co. to get her and she lived her life out on Briggs & Allen Rd. at the family farm in Candor, NY.
