In it, it says that Nathaniel P Allen and Lovisa Rice had 11 children. One of them, Samuel, was bortn in 1825 and was by trade a cooper & for 20 years a foreman in John P. Wiser's distillery at Prescott, Canada. The biography was published by the Boston History Co., in 1894 and it indicates he was deceased at the time of writing. You may want to check Canadian records. As a side note, have you been able to establish the parents of Lovisa Rice (married to Nathaniel P. Allen)? Thanks!
