wife of Rev. Asa Smith Allen

The Massachusetts records want to give her birth as 08feb1799 which would give her an age of 48y 6m at death. The creator of this record (okieskater) emailed me that this "47y 6m" info is from the cemetery records. There are a few records which give birth year as 1800 or 1798.

She is the daughter of Samuel Kingsbury and Hannah Hall.

She died 14aug1847 in Dodgeville and appears to have had her remains re-interred with her son General Thomas Scott Allen in Oskkosh (Find-A-Grave #7338039). Her husband remarried and moved to Clear Lake, Iowa and is buried with his second wife.

Note that the General Thomas Scott Allen plot is in the Masonic area (Section J) of the cemetery. The photo says it is a Catholic Cemetery but online info says it was a general cemetery in the mid to late 1800's (there is a GAR section for Civil War Veterans along with, at least, a Masonic section and Catholic section)
