Web site: Historical Marker Detail for Allen, John Kirby, (1810 - 1838) Co-Founder of Houston . Harris County Historical Commission . . August 31, 2012 . Per the research of Allen descendant Ralph Dittman, John Kirby Allen was born in Canaseraga Village, Madison County, New York. This is not the same location as the contemporary Canaseraga in Allegany County, New York. The Village of Canaseraga is now Sullivan Village. Canasareaugh, ending with "areaugh", is a misspelling of the village name. In an interview given to the Houston Daily Post in 1895 Charlotte Baldwin Allen refers to his birthplace as Orrville. Charlotte Allen was 90 years of age at the time of the Houston Daily Post interview, and died the following month. Dittman's research indicates that John Kirby moved to Orrville at the age of seven to live with an uncle. Orrville was renamed "DeWitt" in 1825. . https://web.archive.org/web/20110924040425/http://www.historicalcommission.hctx.net/markerDetail.aspx?marker=42 . September 24, 2011 . dead .
