Allen, William (2),

a Baptist minister, was born in Maine about the year 1780. He received a license to preach from the Church in Columbia, and not long after received a call from the First Church in Jefferson, of which he was ordained pastor in 1809. During the long period of twenty-seven years he was the devoted and faithful minister of this church, his pastorate closing with his death in 1836. See Millett, Hist. of the Baptists in Maine, p. 433. (J. C. S.)
