(7-697) Allen lived and died on a farm adjoining his father's but just across the line in Barre, Vermont.
He was one of those old time conservatives, well to do farmers and reared the typical, sturdy, large family ( in this case boys) who were in no haste to marry; and so upon a cold day the large family kitchen was full of grown up sons. A peculiarity of the father and sons was their mode of speech, slow, quite a drawl, typical of that generation but more so. These later days can hardly visualize the methods then pursued and so real to those big boys as on a cold snowy day( perhaps not to early in the morning) they plow their way to some neighboring vacant farm their father owned, and "fed the stock" in a perfunctory way which had no relationship to "intensive farming."
Allen had ten children born in Barre Vermont.
(Copied from the Book, George Martin of Salisbury Massachusetts and his descendants. Published in 1929. He is listed as the 697 person the 7 generation.)
