The mother of our subject, Ann Allenby, also a native of England, died in April, 1858. The early life of our subject was spent in Potsdam. He was educated in the common schools and took up farming, which he followed with his father until after marriage when he bought a farm of 120 acres in Potsdam and lived on it until April 1, 1852, when he sold and bought a farm in Madrid, which he cultivated and increased, until at the time of his death.
