  Notes	In the book Genealogical Abstract from the Georgia Journal (Milledgeville) Newspaper 1809-1840, Volume One, 1809-1818, page 358, Issue of February 8, 1815 we find: "Died on Wednesday evening the 25th inst. in Franklin County, Mrs. Mary Allen, wife of Captain James Allen, after a lingering parturition. In the death of this amiable woman, a husband has lost an affectionate wife (made more so by his absence in defense of his country) to her children a tender mother.... (Courtesy of Marianne Matkin) Sharon Holland provided to me some interesting information recently re: the children of Jacob and Priscillia Strickland originally of Guilford County, NC: "5. Mary was born October 17, 1773, and married John Gilbert, brother to William, and settled in Franklin County Georgia where he died. She then married James Allen and moved to Habersham County Georgia where she died leaving 5 Gilbert children named: Bill, Jim, Betsy, John, and Nancy, and three Allen children namely Thomps, Bob, and Henry." Online trees also show Mary and James as the mother of David, Thomps, John and Harriet, without citing sources.
