According to the Amasa Allen Bible which he rescued from being burned by Colonial Sympathizers during the American Revolution; Alice his wife died on the way to Chenango, New York. Their son Amasa Jr. as located by family letters dating back to 1803 was a logger and trailsman who led settlers into the western wilds of New York State from the late 1700s until about 1820. Amasa Sr did settle on land granted by the United States for his service as Private in the Revolutionary War. He died about a year after receiving back pay. Alice is documented in early letters as having "asma" and was unable to travel several times between 1803 and 1805. An even earlier attempt was made in the 1790s into Chenango County to Binghamton but Jeremiah Lord lost his wife to exhaustion and illness and they turned back. Some members of that party did go on into that part of New York including members of the Loomis, Lord and Allen families from in or near Hartford, Connecticut.
