Reuben Allen

Taken from " Miner Descent":

As a young man, Reuben moved to Cecil County, Maryland, where he joined his older brother, Benjamin Allen. On 29 Nov 1714, Benjamin had purchased 900 acres of land in Cecil County, and on 13 Jan 1719/20, he sold 450 acres of this property to Reuben.

It is believed that Reuben was probably married in about 1720, as a property deed was found that was dated 16 Jan 1720/21, which stated that he had a wife named Mary at that time. This deed conveyed Reuben’s 1/12th interest in his half-brother, Josiah’s, land to Benjamin Wilber after Josiah’s death. Five years later, in June of 1726, Reuben sold his Cecil County, Maryland property to Herman Hinkey.

By 1729, his brother, Benjamin, had also disposed of his land, and it is thought that they, along with their brother Daniel, may have moved into Pennsylvania at this time.

In 1734, Reuben and Mary moved into Virginia, however, settling near Mt. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. Seven years later, in 1741, Reuben passed away. He died intestate while still residing near Mt. Jackson in what was then Orange County, but is now Shenandoah County, Virginia. Mary, on the other hand, died in Orange County, Virginia in 1751.
