He was born near Limavady, Ireland, in 1753, and came to America with his father's family when he was sixteen years of age, and settled on the shores of Acadia, bringing with him the loyalty and religion of his ancestors. From 1769 to 1804 he lived in Horton, N. S., where he successfully contended with all the privations and difficulties incident to a new settlement, and while there, and later in life, by great perse- secured for him- verance, industry, frugality, and integrity, self and family a respectable competency. In 1804, he removed to Newport, Hants count}^, N. S., which was his home the remainder of his life. He was a trader, and later on became one of the most successful farmers in Nova Scotia. He was a man of solid virtues, of good sense, excellent judgment, and a pleasant conversationalist. Being a magistrate, he exerted his powers oftentimes successfully for the settlement of differences. Brought up a Presbyterian, in his later years he was an active member of the Methodist church. He was a friend of God, and delighted in the duties of religion. For many years he represented Newport in the provincial parliament. By his efforts the Hants Branch Bible society was reorganized, and new life infused into the organization. This was his last public work. He told his family that the fear of death was past, and died in peace March 1, 1821, and went over the river to be reunited with many beloved friends, and to join "'that great multitude which no man can number." Mr. Allison married in 1779, Nancy, daughter of Jt)hn Whidden, a leading magistrate in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia.^ 'John Whidden emigrated to Truro, N. S., with the New Hamjishire settlers in 1761. He married a Miss Longfellow of Gorham, Me., who was closely related to the family of the poet Henry W. Longfellow. Mrs. Whidden and her sister, Maria Ltmgfellow, lie buried at Horton, N. S., in the very centre of the village of the historic Grand Pre, made forever famous by the genius and soul of the great jjoet.
