A census search for the decades surrounding his birth produced nothing definitive as only heads of household names were given in those days. Allens in Washington County are listed for 1790, 1800 & 1810. Beneath these are the Daniel Allens in New York State in 1800 & 1810 on the chance he is a "Junior." [Census lists sent to personal email as they are rather lengthy.] The text below is from Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911. If you have no other information regarding this person, The Daniel Allen referred to in this book is a good possibility. There is a personal Allen family website that refers to this same Daniel, though the information differs slightly. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jacmac/index.html "(V) John (2), son of Judah and Rebecca (Wing) Allen, was born March 23, 1728-29, died in Danby, Vermont. He removed to Danby from Rhode Island about 1778 and was one of the first settlers of that town. Danby records describe him as a "highly respected citizen." He married, January 27, 1751, at Pembroke, Massachusetts, Sylvia, born about 1730, daughter of Isaac and Abigail (Booth) Keen. Children: 1. Prince, of whom further. 2. Zoeth, married Jane Harper; he was selectman nine years, member of the Vermont legislature four years, and justice of the peace for twenty-seven years; in 1820 he removed to Western New York. 3. Isaac, married Sylvia Staples and removed to Collins, New York. 4. John, married Sally Brown. 5. Judah, married Phoebe, daughter of Elihu Benson. 6. Rebecca. (VI) Prince, son of John (2) and Sylvia (Keen) Allen, resided in Danby, where he was held in high esteem. He died in that town, where his descendants yet reside. He married (first) Hannah, daughter of David and Elizabeth (Wood) Brown. He married (second) Experience, daughter of Job and Sarah (Fish) King. Children of first marriage: 1. Abigail; 2. Daniel; 3. Ira, married Rebecca Calkins; 4. Prussia, married Savid [sic] Bartlett; 5. Joseph; 6. Laura; 7. David." Carol Carol T McKearin Glen Allen, VA Scanned with Symantec Anti-Virus
The following book mentions several of the Allens you list, including a Zoeth (or Zoheth), Prince and Joseph, among others. It also names a Daniel Allen as a capt. of militia in 1775. Williams, J. C.
