Encyclopedia > Fanny Allen

Fanny Margaret Allen (born 1784 in Burlington, Vermont) was the eldest child of Ethan Allen with his second wife, Frances Montresor Brush Buchanan Allen. Fanny was only five years old when her famous father died. In 1807, she went to Montreal to study French, where she subsequently converted to Catholicism. As tradition relates it, her conversion was based on a supernatural experience, and she became a nun in the Religious Hospitaliers of St. Joseph. She spent the rest of her life nursing the sick and indigent, notably in the War of 1812. Fanny died of consumption in 1819, at the age of thirty-five.
