Master Commandant William Henry Allen (21 October 1784 – 18 August 1813) was an American naval officer during the War of 1812. ==Early life== Allen was born in Providence, Rhode Island and was appointed a midshipman in the United States Navy on 28 April 1800. Between 1800 and 1807, he served successively in ''George Washington'' and ''Philadelphia''. On 17 February 1807, he was promoted to lieutenant and was transferred to ''Chesapeake''. On 21 June of the same year, he participated in the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair in which the ''Chesapeake'' was boarded by the British and four sailor were taken captive on suspicion of being deserters from the Royal Navy. Allen was credited with firing the only gun discharged in her own defense by the American ship. The incident was a key development in building American resentment toward the British which eventually resulted in the War of 1812.
