Biography

Benjamin Allen was born about 1798. He was the eldest of Ephraim Allen and Elizabeth Silliker's 10 children.

Benjamin married Phoebe Trenholm on March 27, 1822 in Botsford Township.[1] They had 12 children. At the time of the 1851 census, they were living in Botsford Parish (likely Cape Tormentine) with 9 of their children, and next door to son Isaac. Other Allen families lived nearby, including Benjamin's cousin, Martin.[2]

Sometime after Phoebe's death in 1857, Benjamin married Susannah Eastman Williams. In 1861, Benjamin and Susannah were living with 3 of Benjamin's children (Jacob, Eliza Angeline and Benjamin Carvosso) along with a grand-daughter, Vinea Allen, age 8. Her parents to be confirmed. They were also living near two other sons, John Nelson and Job, and cousin Martin.[3]

Benjamin died on May 9, 1869 in Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick and was buried in the Bayfield Cemetery.[4]

Phoebe and Ben's grandson, Private Earl Russell Trenholm (son of Job Allen & "Sadie" Sarah Louise Trenholm), would be the first-known and only known Trenholm NBer to die in action. He died on 26 October 1944 during WWII. He was 23 years of age. He was a member of the New Brunswick Rangers R.C.I.C. [5] [6]

Allen-16526 and Allen-9797 appear to represent the same person because: There is only one Benjamin Allen & Phebe Trenholm couple as far as I kow and the birth dates are close. The wrong parents were attached before so I removed them.
