| Reading a series of obituaries from a single
cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational
history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular
time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives
and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade"
or business.
All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH.
Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname
can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries.
Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries.
If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email
or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M. Tice (JoyceTice@aol.com) |
ALLEN JESSE
Jesse Allen, a native of Morristown, N.J., enlisted in the Continental
Army early in the struggle for American Independence and served throughout
the war. He was in the expedition under Montgomery into Canada, and stood
within a few feet of that officer when he fell at Quebec. He was in many
engagements and Indian skirmishes, serving in the Company of Capt. Jacobus
S. Bruyn, under Col. James Clinton, New York Continentals. He was at the
surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. It was probably during the war that
he became acquainted with and subsequently married Elizabeth Eiklor (whose
parents were Holland people) of Catskill, N.Y. In 1784, he came to Wysox
in quest of a new home. He selected the river flats opposite Towanda, worked
the season making improvements and returned in the autumn for his family.
Upon his arrival the next Spring, finding his improvements occupied by
Roswell Franklin, he went to the lower end of the valley, took possession
of and subsequently purchased all the land comprised between the creek
and narrows. "Mr. Allen came from the head of the river in a canoe with
his effects, while Mrs. Allen rode a horse all the way, following the Indian
trail and carrying an infant, not many weeks old, who afterwards became
the late Peter Allen of Rome." Mr. Allen occupied his purchase a number
of years. After having cleared and improved many acres and planted the
first orchard in the Wysox valley, he sold to Theophilus Moger, then lived
for a time on the old Coolbaugh property and also on the Lent place at
Pond Hill. In 1800, he removed to the Genesee country, where he remained
a short time, then returned to Pond Hill, where he continued to reside
until his death." Jesse Allen was a stirring, impulsive man, a strong supporter
of the Presbyterian church and one of the most zealous promoters in the
formation of the Towanda-Wysox congregation." He died June 24, 1824, in
his 70th year, and his wife, September 6, 1845, in her 90th year. Both
are buried at Pond Hill. The children of Jesse and Elizabeth Allen were:
William, Peter, Andrew, Elizabeth, Mary, John, Phoebe and David.
