Gershom Allen was born in Massachusetts May 1760. He married Mary Soule 25 May 1787. Mary is the daughter of Wesson and Ruhammah Soule.
Gershom and his brother Jonathan Allen (1764-1846) who married Patience Almy are from Massachusetts, married women from respectable Quaker families, and are buried in this cemetery.
Geography and migration patterns of Quakers from Dartmouth, MA to Washington Co, NY make it possible Gershom is the son of Joseph Allen IV and his 2nd wife, Hannah Wood (daughter of Jonathan) Wood. In this case he is named after an uncle who died in infancy and a grandfather named Gershom Smith. Joseph and Hannah lived in Cambridge too; this makes them strong candidates as parents.
