She was the daughter of Elijah Grant (1825 – 1880) and Mary Elizabeth Williams (1827 – 1891). She was born in Adair County, Missouri. "Kitturah Grant, named for Aunt Kitty Huston, and like her, also called Kitty, was a little doll with a great wealth of golden hair and blue eyes." She and her family relocated to Volcano, California in the mid 1850's. Her future husband and father of her children, John Winston Allen (1831 – 1910) rode along on the wagon train and fell in love with the young girl that simply adored him. By 1860 the family had arrived in California, there to mine for gold. On 9 Aug 1868, John proposed and married young Kitty Grant. By 1880 they relocated to Benton County, Oregon. Then by 1900, they relocated to Wasco County where they remained until their final days.
