He was instrumental in the founding of two Quaker meetings, Westland in Bethlehem Township, Washington County (ca 1782) and Providence in Little Redstone, Washington Township, Fayette Co., PA (ca 1790's). As told by Franklin Smith Farquhar He purchased 109 acres of land in Washington County Pa from Thomas Cook, May 4. 1790 which he gave to his son Thomas Farquhar and then he went to Fayette County, Pa and purchased on Aug 10, 1795 from Levi Stephens and wife Elizabeth 341.6 acres, being parts of two tract known as "Leviticus" (361.6 acres) and "Deuteronomy" (413 acres). The land contained in latter was part of the two tracts-one called "Allen's Fancy" and the other "Peace". The price Allen paid for the 341.6 acres of land is 467 pounds, 18 shillings and 9 pence. The first house Allen built at Little Redstone was made of lags. It was a structure in the form of two houses joined together in front by an open-way, and a story and a half, each side containing two four rooms. A stairway ran up on the outside in the open way to the second story. One side was used specially by the women and one by the men: this was a custom of the Quakers, living apart from each other. One time as a young man I walked with father to the site of this old house. Its foundation outline was plainly discernable in the field where it stood. A bouncing-bet bloomed by the front door; a yellow-ocherous tinge marked the spot of the rude stone chimney. Yew, the plowing and cropping of years had not yet wiped it all out. The building stood until the 1850's my father said, about which time its huge timbers and rough workmanship had reverted to the elements. More About ALLEN FARQUHAR: 1764, He was charged Priest Tax for excessive drinking and disowned for same in 1769 after long care, He must get back in because he starts new Quaker church in Pennsylvania. 1733, Mentioned as being in Monocosie Hundred List of Taxables in Md September 18, 1790, Come from Pipe Creek Md To Westland MH Pa May 04, 1790, Purchased 109 acres of land from Thomas Cook, in Washington County Pa
