Notes
a. Note:   Life history of Charles H. Allen written by himself: OUR FAMILY
 By Charles Hopkins Allen - A Polygamist
  (Editor's note: Due to the lack of space, I have taken the liberty of condensing this history. Our purpose in presenting this chapter of the stories of Andrew Lee Allen, Clarinda Knapp Allen, their children and respective mates is to help strengthen family ties and faith In God. The love and sacrifice shown by these people help strengthen our testimonies of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Esther F. Dial).
  Andrew Lee Allen was born in Limerick, York Co., Maine November 24, 1791. He was the son of Elijah Allen, who was born in 1763 at Stratham, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire and his first wife, Mehitable Hall, who was christened March 26th, 1769 at Rochester, Strafford Co., New Hampshire. His mother died June 25, 1800 in Corinth, Orange Co., Vermont and his father was remarried October 21, 1809 to Hannah, widow of George Perry. His father died October i9th, 1839 at Limerick, York Co., Maine.
 After his mother's death Andrew Lee Allen went to live with his maternal grandfather, Rev. Avery Hall, staying until he was 14 years of age. He worked at the blacksmith trade. Not being satisfied, he left home and never went back again. He went on shipboard to help protect the American vessels during the war known as the War of 1812. He left there and went into Canada, where he got into trouble with the British by drinking a toast at a barn raising. The toast was, �he wished that the Eagle of America would triumph over the crown of Great Britain,� for which he was arrested by the British. Making his escape h e went into the state of New York, Cattaraugus Co., where he entered one hundred and sixty acres of land, and made himself a very nice home. He planned to settle down for life and he soon owned a large grove of sugar maple trees besides his prosperous farm.
 On December 11, 1824 he married Clarinda Knapp, daughter of Calvin and Deborah (Hopkins) Knapp. Clarinda was a refined, educated woman who was highly skilled in the arts of fine painting, sewing, tailoring, ladles' leghorn hat designing, and homemaking. Her gentle upbringing had a great influence on the lives of those about her. She was a woman of true faith and was a Bible scholar.
 They remained in Burton, Cattaraugus Co., New York until they had seven children, namely: Elijah, Lydia, Saphronia, Charles, Andrew, James, and Sidney. They had not joined any religious society but were honest and upright with all men, waiting for something to come along that would give them better satisfaction than the religions of the day.
 In September 1833 there were two Latter-day Saint Elders who came through that part of the country and held meetings. Andrew Lee Allen was not at home at the time and did not hear them preach, but his wife, friends and neighbors did, and they were much impressed. When my Father came home Mother told him of the Elders and the Gospel that they preached and he became very anxious to hear them. He learned that they would preach at a place eighty miles from there and he concluded he would go hear them. This he did and he listened to the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time. He was much pleased and satisfied that it was true and Ezra Landing baptized him 3 September 1833 before he returned home. He received a testimony that never left him.
 He went home and began to arrange his business according to the spirit of gathering, which he had. He sold his beautiful home for a low price and moved to Kirtland, Ohio. Here he met the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Saints and rejoiced with them. It was here that their daughter, Susan, was born 31 December 1837.
 My father bought considerable real estate and paid a good price for it, but the price of land soon went down and he did not receive anything for it. He left and started west for Missouri. Because of sickness and the want of means, he stopped on the Illinois River at Bards
