Judson Allen

Judson Allen (April 3, 1797 – August 6, 1880) was a businessman and a politician.

He was born in Plymouth, Connecticut, and attended the public schools there. He was engaged in the lumber industry there as well, before he moved to Harpursville, New York. He started his public life in earnest there, becoming the Harpursville postmaster from 1830 to 1839, a judge in the Broome County, New York court for 8 years, and a member of the New York State Assembly from 1836-1837.

In 1839, he was elected on the Democratic ticket to the United States House of Representatives, where he served through 1841.

Upon leaving the Congress, he moved to Saint Louis, Missouri, where he was actively involved in the produce, lumber, marble, and grocery fields. He died there in 1880, and is buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery.
