	Vermont History: Ira Allen
		Ira was the youngest of six sons (Ethan being the eldest) born to Joseph and Mary (Baker) Allen of Litchfield and Cornwall, Connecticut.
		Ira was born at Cornwall; he had a good education and became a skilled surveyor.
		Throughout the Revolution and the early years of the republic of Vermont, Ira was one of the foremost men in Vermont government, serving successively as a member of the Committee of Safety and the Governor and Council, then Treasurer and Surveyor General.

	Ira, Vermont, New England, USA
		In 1780 a petition from 40 associates, including Ira Allen, for whom the town is named, asked the legislature for a grant of what they referred to as the "District of Ira." Probably the grant was made, for the Governor and Council established the granting fee and set the date for its payment.
		It is not known what interest Ira Allen had in the District of Ira, other than that he was the state's Surveyor General, and therefore was in a position to know what land was not yet chartered in 1780.
		If Ira Allen pointed out that they were on land which had not yet been granted, it would explain why they asked for the grant after they had already settled in it; it also would explain why Allen's name was included in the petition for the grant, and why the town was named for him.
