ALLEN, TIMOTHY, from Woodbury, Conn., 1768.He was a cousin of Ethan Allen, and the first settler in the northwest quarter of the town. He evinced great sagacity in the selection of a home, it being the present homestead of David G. Blossom.He was moderator of the town meeting in 1770.He is well remembered by many of our older citizens as a man of singular piety and eminent gifts.The detachment of troops that surprised Ticonderoga in 1775, halted for the night at his house on their march to that place. He died in 1810, aged 96.His son, Parmelee, was town clerk in 1770, and a captain in Col. Herrick's famous regiment of Rangers, organized in this town in 1777.Another son, Daty, was a physician and an emigrant to Mt. Clemens, Mich., in 1800.
ALLEN, TIMOTHY, Jr., was in the battle of Bennington in 1777, at the age of 17.He was an early settler of Bristol, and deacon of the Baptist church in that place. In 1814 he removed to Hartford, N.Y., where he died, 1834, aged 74. Of Deacon Allen's children, Rev. Barna Allen is Baptist minister in Hubbardton, and Hon. Alanson Allen, of Fairhaven, has been county judge and state senator, and is now assistant assessor of internal revenue.
From another site I got a more complete listing of the children of Timothy Allen Jr:
Rufus, Richard, Anna, Timothy, Abigail, Ira, Barna, Alanson & Justus
Unfortunately I can't find info on the name of the first wife of Timothy
Also,I think your Timothy (the 3rd) had a son named Ira.Ira is living in the same household as Timothy on the 1850 census and was age 32 that year.The 1820 census of Hartford, NY shows Timothy and Timothy Jr(aka the 3rd).By 1830 Timothy the 3rd had a male age 10-15 on the census of Pittstown.I think that might have been Ira.
There are too many Timothys.Hopefully I haven't confused you.
