Biography
Phoebe Trenholm was born about 1806 in Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick. She was the daughter of Robert Trenholm and Katherine Margaret Seaman.[1]
She married Benjamin Allen on March 24, 1822 in Botsford Township.[2] 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. [3]
Phoebe died on March 10, 1857 in Cape Tormentine.[1] She had been suffering from insanity when she wandered away from the house and perished in the cold.[4]
