John, My ancestors arrived in the "backwoods" area in 1637. We've been historic and charming much longer than you Brooklynites. There were Dutch families settled in Brooklyn in the 1620s so we beat you. My own ancestors were not here at that time as they were still back in the old country smuggling arms to both sides of the Thirty Years War instead of hiding in the outback. One has to wonder what your ancestors were up to that they had to hide out in such a remote location at such an early period. As to the subject of charm. Brooklyn's charm is unique in that only we are charming in such an individualistic manner. Please view the movie "Arsenic and Old Lace" for more on our unique charm. New England is unique in the same way that France is charming. The scenery is beautiful and the towns are wonderful and both would be tremendous places to visit if not for the local citizenry. Henry

John, I was intrigued by your comment that My ancestors arrived in the "backwoods" area in 1637. We've been historic and charming much longer than you Brooklynites. There was an Isaac Allen who raised a battalion during the American Revolution. The battalion was, I believe, raised in the northern colonies. They served in many theaters of the war; Florida, the Carolinas, New Jersey and I believe upstate New York. Are you any relation to Colonel Isaac Allen? BTW. . . . . . . . . . . . . . He fought for the English. ;) Henry
