Unidentified Article about Hugh Caulfield Allen. Used with permission of Mike Allen, Knoxville, Ill. Blood line of Hugh Caulfield Allen and Ray Archer of Abingdon, Ill.
Hugh Caulfield Allen
"Hugh C. Allen was born in County Antrim, Ireland, Nov. 30, 1834. He was a son of Hugh and Sarah (Caulfield) Allen. Both parents died in Ireland. There were eight children, six of whom are living. Three of them are residents of the United States. The subject of this sketch left his native land in 1857, and came direct to Knoxville, Ill., and made his home with John Sloan, his brother-in-law, and remained with him until the breaking out of the civil war. In July 1861, he enlisted for three years, as a private in Co. E 7th Iowa Vol. Inf. The 7th Iowa was a part of the 1st Brigade, 2d Division of the 16th Army Corps. Mr. Allen was wounded at the battle of Belmont, and was furloughed for thirty days; then rejoined his regiment and was in the battles of Fort Henry and Donelson. on the 15th Of February, 1862 he went into the hospital and did not rejoin his command until in September of th same year, when he was discharged on account of disabilities. He returned home, where he remained until January 1863, when he again joined his regiment, and participated with them in the siege of Atlanta. After the fall of the latter place, the regiment became a part of the 15th Army Corps. The command then went with Sherman in his "march to the sea," up through the Carolinas, and on to Washington, where the 7th Iowa passed in general review. The regiment was discharged and mustered out at Davenport, Iowa in July 1865. Mr. Allen returned to his home, and engaged in farming and stock-rasing in which he still continues. On the 17th of March,1863, the subject of our sketch, was united in marriage to Miss Eliza J. McKee, a native of County Antrim, Ireland, daughter of Samuel and Margaret (Sloan) McKee. She was born Sept. 27, 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are the parents of seven children. Their names in the order of birth are Maggie M, Hugh, Sarag, Mary, Samuel, Mattie and Millicent. Both parents are members of the United Presbyterian church. Politically Mr. Allen is an adherent of th Republican party. HJe is a member of Dan McCook Post, G.A.R. of Elmwood, Ill."
