ALLAN。
Benjamin Allan was a Scotchman who came to Cumberland from the United States about the time of the Revolutionary War。 There is evidence that he was with Wolfe at the taking of Quebec。 If so； he was probably one of the disbanded British soldiers that found their way to Canada at the close of （sic） American War。 He married a Miss Somers； of Petitcodiac； at the Bend； and finally settled at Cape Tormentine。
Mrs。 Allan was a very large woman； of pure Dutch stock； with； it is said； a marked tendency to stand upon her rights。 Tradition also says that the pugilistic tendencies of the family were inherited from the mother； as the father was a very quiet； meek…mannered man。 It might be that domestic felicity was more likely to be attained by such a demeanor。 The Allan family consisted of eight sons and three daughters Ephraim； Jonas； James； Matthew； Liff； Dan； George； and Ben were the names of the boys。 It is told of Matthew that once when he was 〃on a time；〃 the press gang took him and his boon companion on board a man… of…war and induced them to enlist。 When the young men came to themselves they were in great trouble； and one night； when the ship was lying near one of the West India Islands； they jumped overboard with the hope of reaching the shore by swimming。 Allan succeeded； and after spending some days on the island in hiding； he found a vessel which brought him back to Halifax； from which place he soon found his way home； none the worse for his experience。 His companion was never heard from。 A great many of the name are now living at the Cape where their ancestor first settled。
