Biography:

Allen, John (1702-74?)

This John Allen is distinguished as V.D.M., "Verbi Dei Minister" or "Servant of the Word of God"--a title sometimes found on the tombstones of Christian clergymen--since his poems were published posthumously by his son. Both works purport to express his dying thoughts. Dates supplied by RLIN while that system was extant, but his death date might well have been closer to the 1788 date of publication.
