In 1792 his son Minerva moved his family to the wilds of Otsego County NY where he built a home and a store/tavern in Schuyler Lake in the Township of Exeter.
In 1795 Allerton, his wife Harmony and their children Joseph and Mary joined Minerva and his family in the wild "bush" of Otsego County. He arrived with a load of supplies for building his homestead and merchandise for the Cushman store. He and his sons made many trips back to "civilization" to procure merchandise for the store in Schuyler Lake.
He died in 1801 in his early sixties.
