Nathan Allen, s. of Isaac and Esther Allen, b. Tolland, Mass., June 3, 1793; d. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 14, 1854; m. Colebrook, Conn., Nov. 7, 1816, Calista, dau. of Samuel and Mellea (Kellogg) Phillips, b. Apr. 6, 1798; d. Sept. 26, 1851, at Indianapolis, Ind.
. . . He moved with his family from Tolland, Mass., to Norfolk, Conn., when Nathan was seven years old. Two elder brothers had died in early life. Nathan spent his boyhood days on his father's farm and at school. He acquired a good education and taught school for a time. He was conversant with surveying, but never practiced it. He possessed a string mind and an active intellect. In mathematics he was thought a compeer with Colburn. They had four children, as follows:
Esther Allen, b. Oct. 26, 1817; d. Hartford, Conn., Apr. 2, 1837; teacher.
Edwin Allen, b. Apr. 15, 1819l nurseryman; l. New Brunswich, N.J.

Mary Allen, b. Jan. 9, 1835; l. Maryville, Tenn.; hotel manager.
Mr. Allen is a well read man, modest and unassuming, of sterling integrity and unblemished Christian character. In politics he was a Whig, although he detested politics as such,

and never sought political place or the emoluments of office. He held "The Father of His Country" in reverential respect, and often spoke of the deep impression made upon his young mind when in school the teacher announced the death f General Washington.
When quite a young man he identified himself with the Congregational Church as a member. In 1850, he moved with his family to Indianapolis, Ind., where he and his wife died. Their remains, with those of their daughter Emily and her two children, now rest in the beautiful Crown Hill Cemetery near that city. Two of his children, Edwin and Mary, are still living. Edwin, now 80 years of age, is a nurseryman at New Brunswick, N.J., where he has been engaged in active business over half a century. On the 21st of October, 1863, he married Sarah Van Nurse, born in East Brunswick, N.J., July 5, 1853.
They have four children, all born in New Brunswick, to wit: Calista, born August 11, 1864; Edwin, Jr., born January 26, 1868; William, born September 24, 1869, and Nathan, born March 23, 1873.
Mary married at New Brunswick, November 5, 1870, Abner A. Wilson, born at Iredell County, N.C., July 9, 1821. They are now living at Maryville, Tenn., are proprietors and managers of Mt. Nebo Springs Hotel, a summer resort near their home. To children were born to them at Des Moines, Ia.: Allen, born July 9, and died August 5, 1872; Clement Ernest, b. August 9, 1875; graduated at Maryville College, 1897, and now (1899) in the State University at Knoxville, Tenn.
