Individual Details
Catherine "Caty" Allen
(1766 - 1817)
Records of 1st Baptist Society of Sheldon, Wyoming Co. [Wyoming Co was originally part of Genesee Co] show Mrs. Catie Turner on the roll as early as 1808. She later left over a disagreement. She apparently ran the local tavern in the absence of her husband and after his death. In 1809 she was excluded from the fellowship of the Baptist Society. This article states that Catherine Allen was a daughter of Moses Allen.
