Biography

Elizabeth Parsons (Noah, Joseph, Joseph), dau. of Noah and Mindwell (Edwards) Parsons, b. Mar. 25, 1716; m. Nov. 22, 1733, Joseph Allen, b. Apr. 5, 1712, a farmer of Northampton. He was a son of Deacon Samuel Allen, Jr., of Northampton, b. July 6, 1675, and Sarah, b. May 29, 1675, dau. of Israel and Rebecca Rust.

Elizabeth Parsons was noted for piety, three of her sons became ministers and five were distinguished soldiers in the Revolutionary War. History also records that she was famous as a mid-wife, assisting at the birth of 3,000 children long before there were schools for training nurses. Whether for this service to her country, or for other patriotic service of herself and her children, her name has been given to the Betty Allen Chapter of the D. A. R," at Northampton, Mass.
