ALLEN, Brasseya formerly JOHNSON (1762-1831)
The genealogical website ancestry.ca indicates that she was born in Co. Wicklow to William Johnson and Ann Halde Brass: other sources confirm the place and date but not the parents' names. She and her husband, John Allen, emigrated from Ireland to the United States and settled in Maryland. According to Mary Klein, Archivist of the Maryland Diocesan Archives, her husband was Rector of St. George’s Church in Harford County (personal communication); both are buried in the church graveyard there. They had eight children. (ancestry.ca 29 Aug. 2017; findagrave.com 5 Mar. 2020)
