MEMOI R F L H O OO . JO N ALLAN .

To the Ameri can people the in cidents of the revoluti onary war are of and u e peculiar end ring int rest. Se much time havi ng elapsed since the termination of that confli ct,we may well believe that most of the attainable details of those eventful times have n h already bee communicated to the public . Though t e military Operations of the revolution may seem comparatively i nsi gnificant r c ar when compa ed with the giganti w for the Union j ust past, we

must remember that in the events of the former period, were laid th e foundations of that mighty republic,whose enduring perpetuity now of fr s is insured in the interest ee institution and equal rights.

In the present sketch ,the object of the writer is to present a few

incidents in the life of one of those worthy men who, in the times ’ ” i f which tried men s souls , stood nobly forward n the de ense of

liberty, and for this, sacr ificed wealth , family connections and i is f d publ c honors . While his name not oun prominently inscribed i d tifi upon the roll of the famous men of those times, or en ed wi th

any of the memorable battles of that period , it can be said of him ,

that in his difli oul t and often dangerous position , he acted well his part, and faithfully and energetically performed his duty . f John Allan was the eldest son of William Allan , one o the

earliest settlers of Halif ax ,N ova Scotia, and was born in Edinburgh

s . 1 . . f a Ca tle, Scotland ,Jeu 3d, 7 46, O S His ather, William All n , n born about the year 1 7 20,was a Scottish gentlema of means,and ffi was an o cer in the British army . Tradition says his rank that of

of a major . But little is known his early history except what is learned from a family record in his own handwriting, a copy of h 1 44 which is appended . He married July 9t , 7 , Isabella Maxwell, daughter of Sir Eusta ce Maxwell ,a gentleman of Scotland ,and at the 6 M amom 0 s C OL . J H A O N LLAN . t ime of the birth of his son in January ,1 7 46,he was temporari ly

i n s l to i ss his f i t residing Edinburgh Ca t e , wh ch fortre amily, w h u u others,had repaired for ref ge d ring the troubles of the rebellion .

Peace with France being fully restored by the treaty of Ai x la i 1 48 Chapelle, n 7 ,the British government began to devise ways and means of providing for the large number of soldiers and sailors

i an discharged from the serv ce ; d of all the plans proposed ,none seemed more promising than a systematic colonization of the pro N ova vince of Scotia,till then,though nominally a British province , i inhabited only by neutral French and Ind ans . The government made liberal provision for all who would decide to settle in the new 1 49 i s colony,and in 7 under the nducement thus offered ,William f Allan with his wi e and little son John , then but four years of age, bade adieu to his native land , and in company with more than f other settlers , sailed or America . A brief glance at the history of N ova Scotia may be found inte m to resting . Although the clai of England a large part of North 49 America depends upon the discovery of the country, in 1 7 , still the colonial history rests entirely on the great charter of

1 st 1 0 1 606 James the , April , , by which sundry of his subjects were authorized to establish colonies between the thirty-fourth and

- forty fifth degrees of north latitude . Subsequent grants to the companies of Virginia and New England extended this title as far north as the forty- eighth degree of north latitude,and over this broad belt of fourteen degrees from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean . i b Under this gr ant, colonies had been established princ pally y

Englishmen as far south as Florida,and at the time of which we the write the English flag waved from that point, along

a was occu coast to Cape Breton . The country called Nov Scoti a

n 1 03 a d a o pied by the French i 6 , n a settlement m de at Port R yal, 3 6 . w and subsequently at Mount Desert . In 1 1 , Capt Argal as ff 1 62 1 sent to dislodge them , which he e ected . In ,the territory

Si Wm . c ta was granted to r Alexander, se retary of s te for Scot

ho a se . of land ,w g ve it its pre nt name The name Acadie , which was given it by the French is the Indian word for Pollock , a fish r s s very abundant on that coast. During the next eighty yea thi n ns A Man ors or C o . Jo LLAN . 7 country had been taken and retaken alternately by the English and

of 1 1 3 i t was French , but at the treaty Utrecht in 7 , ceded by the a French to Gre t Britai n .

The accession pf George I soon followed the treaty of Utr echt, ' and while great pr ogress had been made in all the other English colonies in America, nothing of any importance had been done i n a t a N ova Scoti a towrds settling h t country . m The governor resided at Annapolis Royal , a small settle ent chi efly composed of neutral French ; the facility of communicati on an l t n t with, New Engl d enab ing him o mai ain his position with a few i companies of provinc al troops usually supplied by the old colonies .

The necessity of a Briti sh station and military post on the. Atlantic coast of the Peninsu la had long been felt but latterly the continued breaches of neutrality on the part of the F rench popa la Aix tion , together with the loss of Louisbourg under the treaty of 4 a la Chapelle in October, 1 7 8, rendered such an est blishment indispensably necessary to su pport the dominion of the British

ov crown in the pr ince . A plan was accordingly submitted to government in the autumn of 1 7 48,and being warmly supported by Lord Halifax , advertise 1 ments appeared in the L ondon Gazette, in March , 7 49, under the ’ f r sanction o his Majesty s authority, holding out preper encou age ment to ofli cers and private men late ly discharged from the army was and navy to settle in N ova Scotia . Among other inducements , ff the o er to convey the settlers to their destination ,maintain them for twelve months at the public expense,and to supply them with d ar ms and ammunition for defense, and with materials an articles proper for clearing the land, erecting dwellings and prosecuting a s the fishi ng,and al so anipéa grants of land . The encour gement s appeared so inviting, that in a short time settler with their f s to e sum amilie , in all persons,were found volunt er, and the of being appropriated by parliament for the service, the th expedition was placed under the command of Colonel, e Honora ‘ f . as a o ble Edward Cornwallis,M . P , capt in general and governor h Nova Scotia,and set sail for C ebu cto Bay,the place of destination ’ ' — i i o Ha l i a x . 5 . early n May, Aki n s H story f f , p

was the care taken for the comfort of this large number of settlers,

that but one death occurred on the passage. During the winter months the people were kept actively em

ployed in cutting pickets for fences , and wood for fuel , and in

o erecting new dwellings . Mills were established , stores pened ,

supplies of cattle and horses obtained from the Acadian French , and when the spring Opened,grain of various sorts was sown . Depu

tati ons from the Acadian French ,and also from the various Indian

tribes were received , and arrangements perfected for the better

t a management of public matters . About this ime fearful epidemic

visited the colony, and nearly one thousand persons fell victims

during the autumn and following winter . 1 0 n August, 1 7 5 0, about 35 new settlers arrived in the ship f Alderney . Most o these were sent across the river and commenced

the town of Dartmouth . The next year the Indians who in conse quance of the intriguesof French emissaries had become troublesome

attacked the little village at night, killed and scalped a number of tt the se lers ,among whom was John Pyke ,father of the late John ’ s George Pyke , Esq . ( who afterward married Col . Allan s sister

of Elizabeth) . The night was calm ,and the cries the settlers and t Whoops of the Indians were dis inctly heard at Halifax . t It is presumed hat when William Allan emigrated , he was still

cih st t an o in the Bri ish army and was on half pay . He did not

‘ remain more than three years at Hall . ex for we find him in the 1 2 latter part of 7 5 ,at Fort Lawrence , on that narrow neck which connects N ova Scotia with that part ' of it now known as New Bruns

n n wick . What his position was,canno now be i ferred ; possibly he

may have been its commander,but more probably he was a subor di

fficer . I t 1 8 1 5 nate o certain he remained there till 7 9 . It was

a from near this place that the Ac dians were taken in 1 7 5 5 , by the

New England forces under Gen . John Winslow, their villages

destroyed, and the inhabitants removed and distributed among the

colonies . Only a small part of them escaped to the woods, and

these with those that managed to return ,are represented by their

descendants who retain the name of Acadians , with the language t and many of the characteris ics of their ancestors . The fall of " the uebec,and consequently the surrender of all French possessions

on this continent, soon caused a great change in the “ Hairs of N ova L OHN A N . MEMOI R or C O . J LLA

h t s Scotia . T e Bri ish gave liberal grant of that part of the province

fli r from which the Acadians had been removed , and the o ce s of the A army secured a large share of that fertile soil . county was 1 formed and probably named Cumberland , from the fort before

01. mentioned . It may be stated that this was the same which 0 ’ 6 . Eddy attempted to capt ure in 1 7 7 6. See Eddy s letter ,page 7 fli It may be supposed that Wm. Allan served as an o eer through 1 1 3 the French war from 7 5 4 to 7 6 , and then receiving a large grant of fertile alluvial land , which the poor Acadians had with

the much labor banked i a , to protect it from any inroads of bay , an d commenced life as a farmer . In a few years he was known to be wealthy and prosperous ; his large farm was cultivated mainly by th the labor of e French Acadians,who became for a time servants

the t t to conquerors of heir own terri ory . He was a member of the colonial legislature, and occupied some other positions of trust and honor .

v His children , nine in number, recei ed educational advantages, and eventually i eeame connected with the best families in the pro vince . In religion , he was probably an Episcopalian , and was t d undoubtedly a man of i n elligence and of energy . His wife die i n 1 6 he 7 7 married a second time , and died some years subsequent th to e close of the revolution . f O the boyhood of his son John , the subject of this memoir bu t little can be gleaned,but we may suppose he early displayed indi cations of that vigor and self- reliance which was so characteristic

t e of him in his manhood . I t is certain hat he rec ived for that period and locality a very respectable education , of Which his long and able letters give us such proofs ,and from some of his papers we know he was well read in the books common at that period ,

language ,which he probably learned to speak in his boyhood from the Acadians ,and had some knowledge of the Indian dialects of one of these a brief vocabulary still remains among his papers .

, m It has been. supposed that John Allan at so e period of his

early life ,resided in Massachusetts to obtain his education this is is very probable . Many d tinguished men were at or in the vicinity

of Fort Cumberland during the removal of the Acadians , and for several years afterwards there was quite a business between there

v and Boston . It is very likely that his father may ha e desired to send him there for an education ; and he would be likely to place him under the care of some gentleman whose acquaintance he had made while ’ they were with Gen . Winslow s command at Cumberland . t The following appears o be a copy of a letter written by him ,

2 1 1 6 . dated Cumberland ,Sept . , 7 7 It has no address,but it seems

he had just returned home after a long absence , and there are indications in it which show that even then there was an estrange t ment on political matters between father and son . How na ural that an ardent young man should have learned a lesson in political

tt i nflu en ced rights in Massachuse s at that period , that may have

v his future life . This view of the case will account for his de otion

eX en l to our cause , though at the p se of a most everything he held t dear . I will be noted that in the letter he speaks of the death of

o He his m ther ,which had occurred during his abse n ce . says N o doubt you have been informed of that Fatal Stroke which happened in my Fathers Family by the Loss of so kind a Parent as t my mother . Although it is he Di vine Will which I ought to

The accounts of the military operations on the 1 9th of April , t f e n 1 7 7 5 , and of the bat le o Bunker Hill ,soon reached West r Nova

the a a Scotia, and Mr . Allan saw, during ensuing summer, th t had decision must be made . Doubtless for some time the purpose been forming in his mind to join the western colonies in their

v resistance to British tyranny, and the strength of his con ictions t was such , as to lead hi m to express his sen iments Openly and fear lessly, regardless of consequences . It soon became evident that he was not to be permitted thus to give utterance to his feelings and

Opinions , for the provincial government began to concert measures

f . or his apprehension ,on a charge of treason to the king His life being new in danger, he resolved to leave the province for the United States ; but previous to his departure he made several ex cu i ns i nfluence rs o among the Indians to the northward , and by his , secured for the revolted colonies the c00perati on of a large number

- of the Mic Mae tribe .

These Indians , allied to the French settlers in religi on as well — as in arms in the French wars of 1 7 5 8 1 7 63, and looking upon th e English as intruders in their country,had never regarded them

' with much afiecti on, and for this reason could be readily induced to act against them . Hence their letters to congress with offers of

Mr . assistance and cooperation . A fragment of a journal of Allan , h still in existence , gives an interesting account of his fli g t to New

He England . immediately began his preparations for the journey, H traveling mostly by night, when compelled to be fromhome . e took his hual departure from Cumberland on the 3d of August ,

" i nsuffici enc nowing the y of this force to capture the fort or to hold

Mr . it if captured , Allan endeavored to induce Col . Eddy to abandon

' t n i his rash design ,but without eflec . The schooner went o ts way ,

Mr . and Allan proceeded up the river to Machias . Here he conversed ] Co . . with Shaw and Messrs Preble and Smith , on the movements findi n ofEddy,and g the sentiment of the people strongly against send x ing the e pedition to Fort Cumberland, he wrote an earnest letter atron; os OL oa n A L 1 3 M C .

could be given ,owiag to the great need and scarcity at home ,and he

therefore determined to visit Congress and lay the matter before them . 29 h m On the t of Nove ber ,he started from Boston on horseback , t for Philadelphia, passing through the states of Massachuset s ,

. t i i n Beamish Murdock , Esq , the historian of he prov nce , a letter to the compiler says "If the traditions I have heard about

J twen ohn Allan are correct, he could not have been much over ty

e d 1 on yea r s ol in 7 7 5 . As he had no New England ancestors, his

a t l or esc pade must be a tributed to ambition , romance or pur e zea f

th - to them by habit and creed , and e settlers who were emigrants ” a from N ewEngl nd . The conduct of the soldiers at Cumberland after they had de feated Eddy was very savage they burnt many of the houses of the ’ s persons who had fled to the States , and 00 1. Allan s wa one of the t ti t fir st destroyed wi h nearly all its contents . His family ed wi h ' t th out other clothing than they happened to have on a e moment,

Mrs . Allan crawled up to the smoking ruins of her late happy

and t home , found some po atoes which had been baked , or rather

u hr a . h b rnt by the 9 these , she and her five little ones subsisted till she was found almost in a starving condition by her father , Mark t Patton , who ook her home and made her comfortable . His house was h soon surrounded by British soldiers, who demanded t e imme ’ diate surrender of the rebel s wife . Resistance was u seless , and she was carried to Halifax a prisoner, though still very ill , leaving E M R L JOHN . M OI oa CO . A LLAN

’ r a her three little boys at their g andfather s . She was t ken before the governor who commanded her to tell where her husband was , or fir be imprisoned . She remained m,and gavethem no informa tion for some weeks . She then told her persecutors that her husband had escaped to a free country . h Mrs . Allan remained in prison at Halifax ,six or eig t months , separated from h usband and children . She was small in stature , delicate in constitution,and not well suited to this kind of treat ff ment . She was often insulted ,and su ered much from the insolence t and brutality of her overseers . A the sacking of her house many valuable articleswere burned and destroyed others were carried off

by the soldiery . Among the latter were several silk dresses ,which ’ were given to the soldiers wives who by wearing them in her pre

v a sence , stro e to annoy and wound her feelings in every possible wy. ’ t 1 Af er 00 . Allan s return from his visit to Congress,and his

interview with Washington ,he remained in Boston about three

months, urging upon the members of the council the necessity of

protection to the eastern part of Maine , as well a s the great ad vantage to the country of the taking possessi on ofthe western part

of Nova Scotia, and advocating the sending of an armed force for

n t - that purpose ,which they co sen ed to do . But above all he r epr e t sen ed the condition of the Indians there , and the absolute need of

' conciliating and assisting them by establishing truck-houses to

n t t fur ish them wi h the ar icles they so much needed .

‘ th hn After his return from e expedition to the St. J o s of which

v his journal and letters gi e a full account,he assumed the duties

of Superintendent of the Indian tribes . As they had assisted and

v the shown much bra ery in defense of Machias , many of them

a t . n t m t ers for several years Thus keepi g them within his con rol , and wh ere runners could in a fewdays reach them should he want their assis tance bu t in the spring a nd summer they came near the

He food more plenty,and also hold that place as our outpost. kept a truck -house or depot of supplies at Machias, which he received from the government at Boston ,and the Indians always expected H to be furnished at stated periods . e kept a regular set of books, and an account with the head of each Indian family . These are still extant in the archives of Massachusetts . But from the poverty of difli l t the countr y,and the great cu y of bringing goods coastwise , the t supply was generally scanty and of en times were very long delayed . After the British captured and held the Penobscot and the country

h a adjacent,it was almost impossible to reac Machias from M ssa

chusetts.

This was the source of great anxiety and trouble , for when there was plenty, the Indians were quiet and easily controlled but in times of scarcity , were impatient and often insolent and threatening

t v 1 to ake vengeance on whoe er came in their way, and as 00 . Allan had to promise them that aid would soon arrive ,and when they found it did not come , he alone had to bear the blame ,and his life was often in danger . Hardly any situation could be more nu pleasant than trying to appease a set of half starved Indians and keep them loyal to our side , while the British emissaries were

' nd fi sending messengers , a o er i ng them everything they wished if

t r they would come to hem and join their cause . Du ing this period th Col . Allan was constantly pleading for e much needed supplies ;

00 1. prevailed . As a last resort, Allan announced his intention of w go g to Boston to obtain the so much needed aid , but the Indians believed that he would never return , and they should be left to the te nder mercies of their enemies ,demanded some security for

t n ll the fu lfillmen t of his promises . I was fi a y arranged that he t should leave his two oldes sons , William and Mark , in the hands of the Indians as hostages and they remained with them one or an o s r C L JOHN AL A . M r o O . L N

’ fi h . two years, living on s , parched corn and seals meat William l at ff was thirteen years o d and Mark eleven this time . They su ered many hardships and were in a wretched condition when finally restored to their home ragged ,dirty and covered with vermin

than as the Indians were living nearly in a savage state .

fli lt r i n It would be di cu to furnish a more t y g case than this, or one

. to l that showed a stronger devotion the cause , and of fide ity to his adopted country . The boys were great favorites with the Indians ;

a nd they le rned their language a always had an attachment to them , and in after life aided them in various ways . The writer has often f heard the old Indians speak o their living with the tribe, and particularly about John, who always resided not far from their homes .

He often spoke of the circumstance, and when he was more f than eighty years old communicated many acts in relation to i t.

e i e d 1 8 3 H d at Whiting, Washington county , Maine, in 6 .

Among the family papers is a letter to the boys from their father, containing kind advice , such as only a goo"d father would impart to his children . The following is an extract 1 2 2 1 8 . . It is dated Fort Gates , Machias, May , 7 Col Allan , after

di rehti ons " some about supplies ,gives them some advice as follows

The British were very bitter against Col . Allan , and for years a price was set upon his head , and the soldiers sought every Opper

ni t to tu y take him dead or alive . They also incited the Indians to take e A n his life repeat dly, and tried to bribe them to do ao. III attack was made upon him at Machias , in a house now occupied by

. 0 1. Obadiah Hill 0 Allan was sitting in a room with his sons ,

William and John , when an Indian came in he did not say much ,

o but they noticed him g behind the door . Being on intimate terms 3 M OL H A . 1 8 ME OI R os C . JO N LLAN

n to a with Col . Allan ,little attentio was paid the circumst nce . Soon

a powerful Indian from the eastward , towards Halifax, strode into

l . the room , and advancing directly to Co Allan as he sat in his f chair, brandished a huge kni e over his head , and glared at hi m

001. k t e with ferocity . Allan ep his seat, and looked him st adily t in the eye . Just as the savage was abou to strike , the friendly t Indian sprang from behind the door , and felled the assassin o the H 1 floor in an instant . e was disarmed ,and 00 . A llan sent him off

heme in a birch canoe . He was once traveling on skates among the Schoodic lakes when

he was set upon by a party of Indians in the service of the British ,

also mounted on skates . They gave chase and closely pressed him

for a mile or two,when coming to an open place or channel of

water, he gave a tremendous j ump and landed safely on the other

ns a side . The India ppalled at his daring feat,stopped at the brink

of the water , and none of them daring to follow, Col . Allan was

soon safe and entirely beyond their reach . t His enemies attempted frequently to entrap him . A one time some friendly Indians heard of a plan the British had formed to

' su fleri n take him when he was g with the gout . They wrapped ff d him in blankets , carried him o to the woods and thus lfafil e the t English . A another time the captain of an English merchant

‘

001. vessel sent a polite note to Allan inviting him to dinner . 001. t Allan was pleased wi h the courtesy,and was about to go,when l D er 01. Capt . y , who feared treachery,begged 0 Allan to remain

o . 01. fin l l and let him g instead 0 Allan refused , but al y yie ded,

and the captai n went in hi s stead . He proceeded to the English

afterwards a prisoner of war .

Allan had a sixteen oar barge , on which was mounted a small

O u oceasron swivel gun . one he was sailing on Passamaquoddy hay

with his sons William ,Mark and John ,and seeing an English raft of h a . lumber ,bore down upon it and r d a shot The men in charge,

In 1 7 84,he removed to Maine and the next year commenced a ’ ” mercantile business on Dudley,after wards called Allan s Island,

near Lubec . In this he does not seem to have been successful, for his ge nerosity of heart was such that i t prevented him from

taking proper measures to collect debts due him . The result was, that in two years be closed up the business and retired to Lubec

his Mills, at which place he resided until death . The island, hi s m however,remained in possession of fa ily for several years .

In 1 7 92 ,about acres of wi ld land were granted to him f and his associates by the government o Massachusetts, now the

town of Whiting , but owing to its location and the soil being hard d i h. to . and barren , it d not prove muc value him or his family

I n 1 801 ,he made a representation to Congress of his great losses

consequent on his joining the American cause . This amounted to

A n a more than ten thousand dollars . appraisement was made nd

testified to by most of the prominent men in Cumberland om a ty,

f t e hi s n . A ff many of whom had been old eighbors r much e ort,he

thousand received a grant of about two acres of land in Ohio, upon

t f C o u mbu s s a part of which the ci y o l now tands . This locality t was then apparently more distant than Oregon is now , and but li tle i t could be realized from ,and it proved of but small advantage to

him or his family . He took considerable interest in the incorpora

tion of Eastport,and in surveying and locating the settlers on their

lots. l a ofii eer s v t th Like a rge part of the of the re olu ion , he felt e

t e di fficulti es and trials incident o poverty . The country and peopl were passing through a state of depression and exhaustion of which mo o 21 Ma w or Oct . J a N A LL AN .

i t we can hardly conceive , and he never li ved to see the prosper y which final ly resulted from the privati ons and toi ls of the patri ots our i b i s who achieved l ert e . It is evident from his letters that he took a great interest i n the adoption of the constituti on, and the settlement of our national government ; he was also i nterested in the adjustment of our

boundary as fixed bythe treaty with England, always conte ndi ng

a Ma nadavi . th t the gag c was the tr ue St Croi x ,and was much di i sati sfied by the strange decision of the commissioners whi ch gave of a a a to the island Gr nd M n n the British .

But the exposures and privations of Col . Allan seem to have a n d rmi ne e d his constitution ,and from a private j ournal which he

was i n of 1 804 ff kept,he the autumn su ering severely from asthma. It is painful to follow his entries as he almost daily records his

' e r n sle pless and sufle i g nights , as well as the dark and dreary days of

an winter d the gloom that was around him . The last entry i s

Dec. 9th . was was a of Sunday, It evident he fully ware his critical

and H to situation , that his end was near . e appear s have borne

r his t ials with fortitude ,but continued gradually to decline till the th 1 805 fift evening of February 7 , ,when he expired at the age of y

nine years . He was h buried on the island where he ad previously lived ,and

which now bears his name .

Here in August, 1 860, his descendants from many distant homes assembled to dedicate an elegant monument they had caused to be

e to D nt erect d his memory . uring that pleasa day the eldest related ff to the young the story of the life , su erings and services of their

ancestor,which can newnever be forgotten . Two years later when the country he had served so faithfully was in the midst of a terrible th i struggle for e preservation of those princ ples , and to protect the

a t s me territory he had so successfully defended eigh y years before ,

v . w a battery was erected on this island , and near his gra e It as indeed fitti ng that his last resting place should be surrounded by

the emblems of national defense,and that the flag of hi s adopted

s country hould wave over his tomb .

In considering the character of 001. Allan , I do not intend to

claim that he was better than many of hi s associates ,or free from

d u n imperfections,but to testify so far as I have found verifie by 2 M I R or on. OHN A 2 ME O C J LLAN .

t questioned documents,to his ardent love and fideli ty o the cause b e adopted ,a cause he could not have joined in its darkest days , ‘ eu ni ar sa ific and at great pe y cr e, from any other motives th an a

love of liberty and the rights of man .

f of l O the value his services and their results , it wou d seem all who carefully peruse this volume must conclude that they were

very great . For, looking at the condition of the territory eas t of h t e Penobscot, and the sparse and feeble settlements along its sea h d board , we can see that a the four tribes of Indians done what the

British government earnestly wished , and would have aided them to do , they could have united and destroyed , or driven away every 1 inhabitant east of the Penobscot. This 00 . Allan foresaw, and to

prevent i t, made a long journey to report these facts to Congress , 1 d 0 . and Gen . Washington . They saw the anger ,and that 0 Allan

fl n was the man to wield the necessary i n ue ce with the Indians, and

so control them , as to make them our friends, and often to aid in

defending our people . Without this aid it is most likely that

Machias, our eastern outpost, must have been abandoned .

Had this place been given u p,it would have been an abandonment

' e fl of the Whole territory , and must hav disastrously a ected the 1 0 . settlement of our eastern boundary . This 0 Allan seems to have

anticipated , as his papers show . It is now generally conceded that

fix d our present boundary was e mainly on the ground of occupation , i t and had we not bee n able to hold , we cannot say what river in

v a s Maine would nowdi ide from a British province .

Ju dge Jones ,who resided a long period at Machias , and who well 1 2 knewthe history of Eastern Maine ,stated in 8 0, That it was an t‘ immense advantage to the inhabitants eastward c the Penobscot

a that the great majority of the Passam quoddy b t. John Indians

joined with a s instead of adhering to the en emy, for had they been t against u s, and been set on by the Bri ish to plunder our towns and

t the v settlemen s , whole population must ha e been destroyed . Great credit is due the Indians for their rigid adherence to our ’ t cause , al hough at times the commissary s department was destitute ” ' l i a m on of provisions and clothing for them. Wil s s Hi story of ’

fil a zne.

a Is it then saying too much for Col . All n , to assert that mainly

to hi s efforts was this result due,and should we not at this late day I R os H A MEMO C on. JO N LLAN . 23

h render this long deferred tribute to is memory, and rank him f among the revolutionary . worthies who deserve the gratitude o our country 7

According to the testimony of those who remember him , 001.

Allan was a man who won the respect of almost all about him . He

offic r was ardent, but energetic rigid and exacting as an e , but hu H h . e mane to all w o had done wrong was hospitable and generous, t and al hough very exact in all business matters, particul arly when entrusted with the property of others, he was tco l eni ent with his

' debtors to succeed in business aflair s. Though not connected or sympathizing with any particular church , he had strong religious feeling as many of his letters and other writings show,and rather looked to the practically carrying out the principles of the Sermon

to on the Mount, than have rested his faith on any sectarian theory .

In personal appearance he was rather tall and straight, inclining

a in his last years to be corpulent, with d rk brown hair and blue

i r eyes in conversation an mated and gewne ally interesting . In taking leave of this subject the riter would say,that he has been induced to pay this poor tribute to his memory only from a

v feeling that the value of his ser ices had been overlooked , and it was the duty of some one to make an enduring record of what he had done for posterity . The lesson of his life has not been lost

nt upon his descenda s , over thirty of whom responded to the call of their country in the late war for the Union and in their various positions have done what they could to perpetuate the blessings of a liberty . The gr titude of a nation is due , not only to those who i t founded ,but also to those who have aided in its preservation .
