Possible mother- Polly Allen died in Rutland, VT, which is less than 4 miles from the New York border, where her family was living at the time.

Notes for Polly Allen:"Mary (Polly) Allen Jacobs was born either on July 8
1783 or July 11 1782 and died at the age of 31 (April 4 1813) leaving 6 small
children (ages 11,10,8,6,4,2). Her husband Aaron Jacobs decided to take the
children to Bergen, N.Y. where there were relatives. (Probably Aaron Arnold, Elza Allen Arnold and her father Amos Allen .)(C. Arnold's note added) Mary's sister Ann Allen who had been caring for Mary in her last illness, made the journey with them, perhaps had gone to Rutland, VT, where they were living. Their only means of transportation was one horse. Aaron led the horse so Ann's arms would be free and she rode most of the time and held the baby, and sat another child up in front of her on the horse. Or the children took turns riding, two or thre could ride, while Ann walked and led the horse and Aaron carried the baby. So,
deep in trials and weariness and heartbreak, they traveled through the April woods from Rutland VT to Bergen N.Y."
