About Elizabeth "Betsy" Allen

Biography

Elizabeth "Betsy" Allen was born on February 14, 1782 in Rockaway, Morris, New Jersey, United States. Her parents were Maj. Benjamin W. Jackson and Abigail Jackson. She was a Housewife.

Elizabeth married Captain Job Allen, III on December 31, 1800 in Rockaway, Morris, New Jersey, United States. Together they had the following children: Job Allen, IV; Phoebe Allen; William Mitchell Allen; Emily Allen; James Madison Allen; Isaac Jackson Allen; Maria Brown Allen; Clarissa Jackson Allen; Lucy DeCamp Davis.

She died on March 31, 1852 in Madison County, Ohio, USA, Fredericktown, Knox, Ohio, United States and was buried after March 31, 1852 in Old Fredericktown Cemetery, Fredericktown, Knox County, Ohio, USA.



Jackson Ledger: "A tract of 162 6/10 acres of land lying on the West Bank of Rockaway River and near the village of Rockaway, on which he lived until his death in 1769. He acquired other property of great value."

Rockaway records website quoting Crayon: "They came to Rockaway in 1731 or 32. Joseph was a general in the French & Indian War. Both are buried at Rockaway."

Rockaway Library document by Stephen Jackson:"The Jacksons were the founders of Rockaway. Joseph Jackson came to Rockaway in 1731 and lived in a log cabin on the north bank of the river. He was one of the pioneers of the iron industry here."

O. B. Robbins book, pg 14: "The family record of Joseph Jackson was lost during the Revolutionary Way, and the following record is made at the recollection of Anna, the seventh child, on Dec 4, 1813 who was then 67 years old. By William Jackson who writes this record and is 81 years old."

Crayon's Morris County records state that "Joseph, Stephen, Daniel, Benjamin and John were all members of the Presbyterian Church at Rockaway Village, NJ. It was for many years the only church in the township and one of the oldest church organizations in the country." Stephen, Daniel & Benj were Joseph's sons--who was John?

From Virgil Allen's letters: " About 1732 Joseph Jackson, who also was in some way interested in iron making settled at Rockaway. He came from Jamaica, L.I. He lived on the west bank of the Rockaway River about 1 mi. above the village. He died there in 1769 and is buried at Rockaway. His son Benjamin lived on the home stead, and raised his family there and no doubt from there migrated to Ohio in 1814. So Elizabeth Jackson his dau, later the wife of Job Allen III, was born there 7/14-1782. Benjamin, her father, the Rev. soldier, was born there 3/5-1752. His wife Abigail Mitchell, and she may have been born at or near Rockaway as her father Nathaniel Mitchell, was a member of the church there in 1758." Other records on the internet believe his first two children were from his first wife, Margaret Burgess.

OBR book, pg 14: "Joseph Jackson died in 1769, intestate. Oct. 5, 1769, the widow Mary, and the son William, made a renunciation of their right to administer on his estate, and Oct. 6, 1769, administration was given to Stephen Jackson. Nathaniel Mitchell was fellow Bondsman."

From Abstract of Early Wills 1761-1770 1769, Oct. 6. JACKSON, Joseph, of Pequannock, Morris Co. Int. Adm'r - Stephen Jackson. Fellowbondsman - Nathaniel Mitchel; both of said Co. Witness - Malcolm McCouny. 1769, Oct. 5. Renunciation, by Mary Jackson, the widow; and William Jackson, the son of said Joseph. Witnesses - Hartshorne Fitz Randolph and Nathaniel Mitchel. 1769, Oct. 4. Inventory, made by Hartshorne Fitz Randolph and Nathaniel Mitchel. (Lib. K, p. 223)
