Alexander Hamiliton Allen, youngest son of Daniel Allen and Abi Burr, was born near Delphi, the town of Pompey, N.Y., in 1805, and began at an early age to participate in the severe labor attendant upon a farmer's life at that period. He married in 1830, Sally B. Savage, of Delphi, who proved a true help, she was very hopeful, energentic, deeply pious women, full of good works. Mr. Allen's vocation was that of a farmer, and he tilled the family homestead farm, beliving in the trite saying of Franklin, that " He who by the plow would thrive, himselfmust either hold or drive," and pushing his business with such energy and fixedness of purpose that his efforts were crowned with rich success.
Honorable, upright, respected by all who knew him, the steadfast hater of Oppression and wrong, and the unswerving champion of liberty truth and christianity, he was a piller of strength in the community and in the church. Early in life he became one of the working members of the first baptist church in Delphi, whose walls for long years echoed his songs of praise; and no matter who was remiss in duty or shriked labor or responsibility, he was always prompt, always faithful, always ready to do good; his religion was no holiday garb, but a part of himself, he acted it, he believed in it, he lived it. He gave to every duty and service, of his whole life. He was decon of the church for several years.
He removed to Syracuse in 1867 and died there in 1875. Mrs. Allen died there in 1886, and both are buried in the old cemetery at Delphi. They had six children, all of whom died in early life except two daughters, Mary Elizabeth, who died in 1860 at the age of twenty-one years, and Adaline L. the later is an alumni of Cazenovia Seminary and married, June 30, 1858 to James L. Hill, youngest son of Col. Ensign Hill. The children of James L. Hill and Adaline L. Allen are Everard Allen Hill, born in Pompey on the 8th of December 1860, married on the 30th of July 1891, Olivia Gertrude Douglass and has two children, Hope Hill and Charles James Hill, Mary Grace Hill, born in Syracuse on the 5th of July 1867, married on 30th October 1890m Girard Mead Parce, and has one child, Marjorie.
