When I started this blog post the only 2 sources I had for Nehemiah Allen were the Walter Allen of Newbury, Mass. book and the Edmund Rice Association webpages.

Ancestry.com offered 5 Historical Record hints.

Although the Walter Allen book indicated he died in early 1812, I found a death record for Nov 1811 in Barre which I think is for him.

The other 4 records were 2 for his marriage, the 1790 census and an AGBI entry.

My primary interest in Nehemiah Allen is because he was a descendant of Edmund Rice.  Nehemiah Allen was my 2nd cousin 9 times removed through our common ancestors Thomas Rice and Mary King and also my 4th cousin 10 times removed through our common ancestors Edward Frost and Thomasine Belgrave.
