Betsy Love Allen (after 1782 – July 1837) was a Chickasaw merchant and planter who ran a trading post on the Natchez Trace and maintained a large cattle plantation. Born into a wealthy and influential family, she owned property in her own right under Chickasaw law. When an attorney attempted to seize one of the people her children enslaved to pay off a debt that her husband owed, a trial ensued. The verdict—that Allen was in effect a feme soleunder Chickasaw law and not subject to coverture—established the legal precedent for the State of Mississippi to pass the first Married Women's Property Act in the United States.
Although the law ostensibly gave women property rights, it did not allow them to control their property without their husbands' authority or permission. Instead, it was passed to enable men to shield their property from seizure to pay off debt. Under Chickasaw law, Allen had control over her possessions. She died before the forced removal of her people to Indian Territory in 1837 and is remembered for the lawsuit that protected her right to own property.
