Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [184]

           GEORGE R. ALLEN, farmer, section 5, Meade Township, was born
        Dec. 27, 1841, in Middlesex Co., Ont.  His parents, JOHN and
        LUCINDA (RUSSELL) ALLEN, were born respectively in Canada and Ver-
        mont.  After their marriage they settled in Quebec, afterwards re-
        moving to Middlesex County, where MR. A. died.  MRS. ALLEN lives in
        Huron County, whither she removed in 1881.  Their family included
        two sons and six daughters.
           MR. GEORGE R. ALLEN is the second son and sixth child in the
        above family.  He acquired such education as the Dominion offered,
        and remained at home assisting on the home farm until he was 25
        years of age.  He was variously engaged in his native province un-
        til the summer of 1882, when he came to Huron County and bought 80
        acres of land in Chandler Township.  He afterwards exchanged this
        property for 80 acres of land under partial improvements in Meade
        Township.  This has been his homestead since he became its pro-
        prietor, and 60 acres are under the best improvements.
           He is a member of the Masonic fraternity.  While a resident of
        Ontario he belonged to the class known as "Reformers."
           He was married Aug. 11, 1866, in Canada, to MARY A., daughter of
        RICHARD and ANN (QUEST) DIBB.  Five children have been born of this
        union, as follows: WALLACE E., Feb. 15, 1867; MINNIE L., May 30,
        1869; HORACE L., Feb. 28, 1874 (died Sept. 30, following); BERTRAM
        R., June 26, 1876 (died March 31, 1881); HERRY L., July 1, 1880.
        MRS. ALLEN was born Nov. 18, 1846, in Ontario, and died in Middle-
        sex Co., Ont., July 11, 1880.
