  Allen T. Wilson, (deceased). Born in Glen's Falls, New York, February 1, 1820,
where he resided, received his education, studied law under Judge W. Hay and
Enoch H. Rosencrans, and was admitted to the bar, when but twenty-two years of
age. In his native place he married Charlotte L., daughter of Solomon P. and
Anne Goodrich, who was born in Glen's Falls, New York. In 1849 Mr. Wilson
emigrated to this State, their original intention being to proceed to the
Sandwich Islands, but on arriving at Boston, finding that no vessel was on the
berth for Honolulu, they concluded to go by way of California. Mr. Wilson
afterwards proceeded thither, where he was for some time a Police Judge. In 1856
he removed to San Antonio township, Marin county, and purchased sixteen hundred
acres of land, where he died September 28, 1870. Mrs. Wilson now resides on six
hundred and twenty acres of the original purchase. Their son is named John Ward
Wilson.
