Judith Ann Marie Allen

  General Notes:

Judith is a direct descendant of historic Vermonter - Ethan Allen.
Ethan Allen- Frontier Rebel by Charles A. Jellison. {Extract}.

"On the turbulent American frontier of the late eighteenth century, where human greatness was certainly no stranger, few men had a fuller share in events than Ethan Allen.

Soldier, politician, Publicist, land speculator, and aspiring traitor, he was truly a host in himself, who, because he refused to be dispirited or put down, left his indelible mark upon his own time and times to follow.

Controversial then and now, a demigod to some and to others an unconscionable thug, he is generally conceded to have played, for fair or for foul, a dominant role in the affairs of early Vermont and the American Republic.

It is, in fact, very probable that without him, Vermont would never have come into being, or, once under way, could not have survived its early years of crisis.

It may also be true that by capturing Fort Ticonderoga and securing control over the Champlain waterways during the early days of the Revolution, he saved the new nation from being stillborn."

Judith married Rev David Owen Nicholson, son of Harold Forbes Nicholson and Anne Archibald Mccoll Stewart, on 24 Aug 1979. (Rev David Owen Nicholson was born on 6 Dec 1931 in Salem, , MA.)
