Individual Details

Sarah Allen

(Aft 1766 - 20 Jul 1821)



I found an Index of Land Transactions of the Holland Land Co. It lists Moses Allen, his sons, Peter and Nathaniel Allen and sons-in-law Roswell Turner, Samuel Robinson, and Samuel Woodworth.

Samuel Woodworth was said to be of Mayville, Chautaugua County NY [Formed in 1808 from Genesee Co which had been formed out of Ontario Co in 1802]

Online databases list a marriage, 22 May 1783 in Mayfield, Montgomery Co. There is no source for this date or place. The year seems approximately correct but not the place since Sarah's family is not known to have been in Montgomery Co. Samuel Woodworth does appear in the Caughnawaga, Montgomery Co, NY 1790 census, as does his father - there is a female over age 16 in Samuel's household.

Found in WAYNE SENTINEL of Palmyra, 8 Aug 1821:
Sarah Woodworth, wife of Samuel, died 20 July 1821 in Mayfield.
Since Palmyra in Wayne Co was nearer Chautaugua Co it seems likely this was Sarah Allen Woodworth. Mayville is in Chautaugua Co but it isn't the same place as Mayfield.

However, there was a Samuel Woodworth living in Mayfield, Montgomery Co which is some distance from Western New York.

No children appear in the household:
1810 Census. Mayfield, Montgomery Co NY
Samuel Woodworth. 1 male and 1 female over age 45
Younger males named Woodworth were Russel, Luke & James

1820 Census. Mayfield, Montgomery Co NY
Saml Woodworth: 1m over 45. 1f 16-26, 1f over 45 [Sarah would have been at least age 50]
