==Biography==
Allen was born at Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia. His father was a distinguished lawyer and a judge of the circuit court. John Allen received his education at Washington College and at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. He studied law with his father, passed the bar in 1818, and opened his first office in Campbell Courthouse, Virginia, in 1819. A short time later, he moved to Clarksburg where he practiced law for seventeen years.
In 1827, Allen was elected to the Virginia Senate and, in 1834, he became Commonwealth’s Attorney for the counties of Harrison, Lewis and Preston. At the same time, he was a member of the 23rd United States Congress from March 4, 1833 to March 4, 1835. Being appointed Judge of the seventeenth Circuit in 1836, he moved to Botetourt County where he held his first court. In December 1840 Judge Allen was elected a judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals and, in 1851, became President of the Court when it was reorganized again. As President of the Court, Allen was a strong supporter of the concept of secession. He resigned from the Court in April 1865 and retired to private life in Botetourt County, where he died in 1871.
