Sir
The heirs of the widow of the late Col
Ethan Allen of Vermont represent to me that by
an act of Congress (whether public or private and
not informed), a grant of land was made to
the representatives of that officer, and I am desired to ascertain
whether they are now entitled
to the benefit of the act.
I have not been able
to find the act referred to, and I beg therefore
to be informed whether any such exists, and if so whether its provisions extend to the widow
after her death to her heirs.
I am, sir, respectfully yours

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Ethan Allen of Crown Point and Ticonderoga fame, and of his brothers, James, Ira and William Allen who served in the Revolutionary War.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of any Ira Allen and, with the meager information furnished, no claims have been identified as those of the James and William Allen in whom you are interested. 

The data given herein were found in the claim for bounty land based upon service of Ethan Allen in the Revolutionary War. Ethan Allen of Vermont served as Colonel in the Revolutionary War, and was taken prisoner and conveyed to England. His age, names of
his parents and date of his death are not shown in this claim.

He was survived by a widow, whose name is not shown.

September 25, 1829, in Norfolk County, Virginia, Ethan A. Allen, only son of Colonel Ethan Allen, made application in behalf of himself and other heirs (names not stated) for bounty land which was due on account of the service of his father, given above. 

Warrant #1801 for 500 acres of bounty land was issued February 26, 1830 on said application. 

In 1837, Mrs. Lucy Hitchcock, daughter of the officer, was living in Plattsburg, New York. There are no further data regarding the family.

Very truly yours,

I am trying to prove my eligibility to the Daughters of the American Revolution, as the great great grand-daughter of Col. Ethan Allen.  To do this it is necessary to prove that Barer Allen was the son of Ethan Allen.  Have you any records that would substantiate this claim. Barber Allen fought in the American army at the seige of Buffalo during the war of 1812.

Dear Sir:-
Recently I learned that my great grandmother, deceased, was a descendent of the American patriot, Ethan Allen. Her family is also deceased, so I cannot learn the facts from any of them.
Naturally, I am anxious to know how this information might be obtained, as I should like to trace my
Page 35

ancestry back is Ethan Allen, if at all possible.

It was suggested that I write this department, as his wife or someone of his children might have been listed in your pension list, and I might be able to learn the names of the cities in which they lived and in this way get valuable information. My great grandmother's name was Rebecca Goodrich.

I should be very grateful for any information from your department concerning this matter, and would appreciate greatly, any suggestions you may have to offer as to the procedure in securing the information concerning Ethan Allen. Did he make his home in Burlington, Vermont? Did he have children? If so, may I have the names?

Thanking you for your help, and trusting I may hear from you in the near future.

Columbia, S. C.
Madam:
I have to advise you that on an application executed September 25, 1829 in Norfolk County, Virginia, a Warrant No. 1601 for 500 acres of land, issued February 28, 1830
to Ethan A. Allen, only son, and other heirs (names not stated) of Ethan Allen of Vermont, on account of his services as Colonel in the Revolutionary War, until he was taken prisoner
and conveyed to England.
Mrs. Lucy H. Hitchcock, daughter of the soldier, was alive in 1837. There is no other data relative to his family.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to any John Drafts.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.

Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 9"" instant, you are
advised that the records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to the services of a soldier of the War of 1812 named Barber Allen, nor is there any data on file showing that Col. Ethan Allen of the War of the Revolution
had a son of that name.
Very respectfully,
GM Setzgaber
Commissioner.

See negative slip in file for Barber Allen War 1812  neither pension or bounty land.

I only assume that Ethan A. was only son in 1830
