Son of Jedidiah and Catherine Allen. Whiting Allen is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University class of '73. On his maternal ancestral side he is descended in the ninth generation from Richard Hubbell, who came here from England in 1645, and on the Allen side he is descended from Samuel Allen, who came over with the pilgrims in 1620. Samuel Allen's oldest daughter married Lieutenant Josiah Standish, son of the famous Captain Miles Standish. One of his direct descendants married Mary Alden, daughter of Joseph Alden, who was a son of John Alden and the famous Priscilla. Hence Mr. Allen's ancestry goes back in direct line to two of the most famous names of our early New England days, and associated him in ancestral details with Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower. Mr. Allen's home state is Ohio, and his father was valedictorian of the first class that graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University, which was in 1848. His parents removed to Ohio from Vermont.
