  • Notes 
    • Elisha Allen, born September 7, 1722, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where he married Elizabeth Fish, born June 20, 1725. Elisha was a soldier under Wolfe, at the taking of Quebec in 1759, and had passed through Cambridge, New York, on their march. After returning from the war he went into that town and took title to land there in 1762. - Excerpt from Genealogical and Family History of Western New York, Vol. 1, p. 452-455, William Richard Cutter
      Although Elisha and Elizabeth appear to have resided in Dutchess County, New York for a number of years after their marriage, they eventually moved to Cambridge in Washington County, New York. Elisha died at Cambridge in 1802. His will, which was written on 29 September 1801, was admitted for probate before the Washington County Court on 10 June 1802. Aside from the below listed children, Elisha also mentioned a grandson, Allen Gilbert, and a granddaughter, Mehitable Smith, in his will. Elizabeth, on the other hand, died in New York in 1814, having survived Elisha by about twelve years. - - Descendants of George Allen of England and Sandwich, Massachusetts, Jack MacDonald
