His sister, Kate Allen Tirado wrote that he was not quite five years old when he died. "He was considered a perfect child, so good that the neighbors would tell my mother he was not for this world. At 4 he would ride with his Uncle Levi to Church and it was many miles and he didn't eat a bit while there; and would sit in the chair and bow his head as though a Man. He was very religious so young. And in the yard he would pick up every nail and save, he was so smart. He died in a few days from conjestion. Had three doctors with him. He would pull his sister in a little red wagon."
At the time of the 1910 Federal census, William and his younger brother Daniel were living in Precint 5 of Shelby County, Texas. William, age 19, was shown as a Restaurant Proprietor, and Daniel, age 17 was listed as restaurant cook.

Dale Rubel shows she was born in East Feliciana Parish, LA as a daughter of William ALLEN and Hannah A. PRIDE of Virginia. However, he notes that one of his daughter's tombstone indicates father as John Allen more research to be done in this area. Connee Kroeger (clbkroeger@aol.com) cannot confirm first name of John, many records indicate that he was known as William Allen. She may have been born in Mississippi versus Louisiana.
Shown on the "My Related Families" tree at WorldConnect as the daughter of Capt. Henry D. Allen and Mary "Polly" Barnes. These parents are also listed on her FindAGrave memorial page, created by Jennifer A. Lamar and maintained by MackTx. This following bio is also shown on her memorial page:
Second marriage to Bennett Dick Todd on 08/01/1865 Lawrence County, TN. Bennett is the uncle to Eleanor Dorcas "Ellen" Todd-McGuire. Eleanor is married to Elizabeth's son Henry D McGuire. Her father Presley Newton Todd and Bennett Dick Todd are brothers.

Kathy Casagranda shows her as the daughter of John Allen and Emily Green, however, this appears to be incorrect.
Ina Cardwell instead shows her as a daughter of Jehu Allen and Emily Green. Ina further notes that Emily Green was the daughter of Robert Green and Luzana Richardson. She also indicated that Jehu Allen was married three times, first to Emily Green, second to Emily Parker, and third to Mary Angeline Wallace Bruton. Elizabeth France Allen appears to be the oldest of 11 total children born to Jehu Allen. Serena Keech also shows that she is a daughter of Jehu Allen. Serena adds that he "was a Methodist Minister and was involved in the forming of most of the Methodist Churches around Alto. I am his 3rd Great Granddaughter."

Her middle initial is shown sometimes as C and sometimes as K. It is not known what her actual middle name was.
Nina Fuller always said that her grandmother, Jane (Allen) Fullen was "half Indian." It has not been proved if this is true, or merely a legend. The name ALLEN appears to be of common use among the Cherokees, and perhaps this is where either the actual Indian blood, or legend of Indian blood, came from. The mtDNA of a child of Nina Fuller, a direct female descendant of Jane, was classified as H. This is the most common mtDNA in Europe, and not one associated with Native American lineage. If Jane was part Indian, it was through her father's family, and not in her direct maternal line.
There is a photo of Jane Fullen, presumably taken shortly before her death in 1926, in a black silk bonnet. This bonnet was given by Jane to her granddaughter Nina (Fuller) McLemore. Nina's daughter, Evon Tisdale gave the bonnet to Melinda (McLemore) Strong.
(Research):A photo of her headstone on Find A Grave appears to be incorrect in listing her birthday as 5 December 1849. Blanche Finley Toole showed this instead as 5 December 1850, supported by census records below:

*Jane is the daughter of J.W. Allen by wife Caroline. Jane was born in December 1850, and the 1850 census was taken in October 1850. Therefore, Caroline would have been between 6 and 7 months pregnant at the time of the census. The 1860 census was taken in June, before Jane had reached her 10th birthday.
#The mother of Susan Allen is not known. It does not seem likely that she is the daughter of John's second wife, Margaret Harvey Allen, who had moved back home with their one year old daughter, Mary Allen. Did John have a daughter by a woman other than his then wife, perhaps leading to their separation? Or is Susan perhaps a niece or other family member? Or are Mary/Susan the same child, listed in both households?
His former wife, Margaret, and his daughter Mary are living in another household in 1860, as follows:

Blanche Finley Toole, a Sabine County genealogist, indicated she was a sister of Thompson Allen of Sabine County. This has not been proven, nor is she listed in the transcription of the Arva Allen Bible.
Enrolled in the District 10 School in Sabine County in 1854. Sharon Speights Varney quotes Virgie Collier Speights as writing that when Jerusha changed religions, joining the Campbellites (forerunner of the Church of Christ), whe was denounced by family and friends as "a heathen" and "no longer a Christian."
Could this be the John Allen listed in the 1850 Jasper County, Texas census as the son of Nathaniel and Sarah Allen of Georgia and Kentucky? He was shown as age 25, male, farmer, born in Louisiana. (HH #100-101).

Not listed with the family at the time of the 1900 San Augustine County, Census. He may have died young, as his mother indicated she had 8 living of her 10 children in total in 1900, and all eight were living with the family excpet the eldest, Thomas F. who lived next door as a boarder in the Morris home.
Said to have been born in the Old District 96 of South Carolina.
Per FIRST SETTLERS OF SABINE COUNTY he received 320 acres of land on March 4, 1844
It is currently not known where he was located in 1840. There is a John W. Allen listed on the Carroll Parish, Louisiana census at that time. However, that John Allen was born sometime between 1800 and 1810, and has two daughters over the age of 10. It is not currently known if they are the same man.
On the 1854 Scholastic Census, his children Jas T. and Martha (s/b Margaret Elizabeth) were shown as being enrolled
In YELLOWED PAGES: VOLUME XXIV, No. 1, Spring, 1994, page 43, a list of Sabine County Voter's registrations are shown. Information about J.W. Allen is shown as follows:
January 29, 1868: 478 J.W. Allen Pct. Mi3, Years in State--27, Years in County--27, Years in Pct--27, Native of South Carolina.
According to the book "Selected Tax Rolls of Shelby County, Texas 1837,1845,1855,1865,1875,1885," a J.W. Allen paid taxes in Shelby County in 1885.
In her notes, Kate Allen Tirado erroneously list her uncle as John T. Allen, and shows his place of death as Sabine County.

*Jane is the daughter of J.W. Allen by wife Caroline. Jane was born in December 1850, and the 1850 census was taken in October 1850. Therefore, Caroline would have been between 6 and 7 months pregnant at the time of the census. The 1860 census was taken in June, before Jane had reached her 10th birthday.
#The mother of Susan Allen is not known. It does not seem likely that she is the daughter of John's second wife, Margaret Harvey Allen, who had moved back home with their one year old daughter, Mary Allen. Did John have a daughter by a woman other than his then wife, perhaps leading to their separation? Or is Susan perhaps a niece or other family member? Or are Mary/Susan the same child, listed in both households?
His former wife, Margaret, and his daughter Mary are living in another household in 1860, as follows:

Tuck Wilson writes that "Tradition has it that Leroy moved to Texas. A Leroy Allen had 80 acres in Huntsville abt. 1840. Alex. A. Allen writes 16 March 1843: News had arrived when I was over (at Uncle Banister's) that Grandpa Allen was dead obtained through Bird's (Bird is Arva's grandson and Banister's son) writing to Uncle Banister. Uncle LeRoy (Arva's son) had obtained the Power of Attorney from him before his death, gone to Virginia, received the legacy and pocketed it safe enough, a great piece of rascality indeed having enclosed in the Power of Attorney a deed of gift to the legacy. There is a very interesting listing in the 1880 Franklin County, Apalachicola Fl Census: Leroy Allen, b. 1826 in SC, parents both born in SC, occupation - mill wright.

Myrtle Springs receives marker
An official Texas Historic Cemetery Marker was dedicated April 28, at Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery. The day was also the cemetery's annual homecoming......
The newly placed marker reads:
GENEVA MYRTLE SPRINGS CEMETERY
Situated North of the small, rural community of Geneva, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery serves as the primary resting place for pioneers, settlers of the area, and their descendants. Originally granted to Juan Ignatino Pifermo in 1794, the town of Geneva grew in the 1820s when pioneers began to settle there from the east. Geneva was first known as Shawnee village and later as Jimtown, after two early settlers of the are, Jim Halbert and Jim Willis. Originally surveyed for Daniel F. Renfro in 1838, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery is comprised of land granted by Levi T. ALLEN in 1879 for use as a church and cemetery. The Geneva Baptist Church was first located on the present day cemetery site, but later moved south of the area. In addition, a school was once located near the cemtery near Myrtle Springs, organized by William Thomas Arnold.
The general landscaping of the cemetery is traditional with brick, marble, sandstone, grantie, wood, and metal grave markers. The first marked grave is that of William J. JONES from 1888, but Bible records indicate that there were earlier unmarked graves, including that of Wiley William CROW (1845-1877). Among the many pioneer families interred at this cemetery, there are veterans of the Civil War, including Wiley CROW, Seth Marion LAYFIELD (1833-1906), and James T. MEADOR (1845-1933), as well as veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Iraq War. Burials for members of the fraternal organizations such as Woodmen of the World are present. Today, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery Association maintains and cares for the cemtery, while also serving the community of Geneva. Historic Texas Cemetery -2010.
She was known by her middle name of Cornelia. Sometimes also shown as Cassie or Kennelia. At the time of the 1880 and 1900 Sabine County, Texas census, she lived alone.
Funeral services for Lyndell Yvonne MITCHELL were held Saturday, September 7, 2002 at 10:00 am at Wyman Roberts Memorial Chapel, San Augustine, Texas with interment in Liberty Hill Cemetery. Bro. David BURCHAM officiated.
She died September 5, 2002 at San Augustine, Texas. She was born November 17, 1917 in San Augustine County, Texas to BANNISTER ALLEN and Mattie Elizabeth KIRK. She was a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell. She was a member of First Baptist Church.

However, a 13 year old Evon Allen was living in the home of George Thompson MacKechney and Annie MacKechney in Shelby County, Texas. George was shown as age 63, his wife Annie, age 32. Evon was listed as a "sister-in-law." Could this be the same Evon? If so, how was the 32 year old Annie related to her? Could she have been a half sister? Or is she an aunt? Or are these two different Evon Allens?
John W. Fuller shows that on 11 Sept 1828, William Alexander Fuller married Mrs. Thena Roberts in DeKalb Co, Georgia. It appears that Marthena had been married before. She was born 1808 and died 6 July 1871 in Clayton Co, GA.

The daughter of Nehemiah ALLEN of Northampton and Sarah WOODFORD. Nehemiah was the son of Samuel ALLEN who came to Cambridge, Mass., from Braintree, Essex, England in 1632. (Dwight, p. 308).
Could she be the same person as Mary Allen, also born 1859 as a daughter of John Wooldridge Allen by his former wife, Margaret Harvey? In 1860, Margaret was separated from John, living with her mother and brother, along with one year old daughter, Mary Allen.

In a Family Group Sheet prepared by Eva Mae Halbert Hackney, whose father was a grandson of Thompson Allen, she lists Thompson's birth as occuring on 22 Dec 1802, Elbert County, Georgia. His parents are not listed, though the parents of his wife, Elizabeth Wooldridge, are shown. No sources are cited by Eva. This handwritten group sheet was provided to me by Blanche Finley Toole in January, 1995. Blanche said she helped Eva prepare her DAR and DRT records applications. Blanche and Eva were connected through the Burton family. Neither Blanche nor Eva knew who Thompson Allen's parents were.
In a history of the W. W. Allen family, prepared by Thompson Allen's granddaughter, Kate Allen Tirado, she also writes that "Thompson Allen (Father of W. W. Allen, Levi T. and John Allen) was born December 22, 1802 in Albert (sic) County, Georgia. Thompson Allen departed this life at the age of 67 years, 10 months, and 5 days at his residence in Sabine County, Texas on October 17, 1870." Again, Thompson's parents are not mentioned by Kate. Kate prepared this four page, typewritten manuscript sometime after 1955, but before her death in October 1964
The "1850 Census Sabine County, Texas with added family information and corrections" by Helen Gomer Schluter and Blanche Finley Toole, shows that Thompson Allen in Household number 277 was the owner of 9 slaves. On this census, he is shown as age 48, and born in South Carolina. The 1860 census lists his place of birth instead as Georgia. Kate Allen Tirado, a granddaughter, writes that Thompson lived first in Houston, Texas ca 1840, later moving to Milam, Sabine County, Texas.
Sally Clark, a niece of Kate Allen Tirado, emailed that a Thos WG Allen was listed in the "First Settlers of the Republic of Texas Vol I." He was given a second class land grant as a resident of Harris County. He rec'd 1280 acres, and listed as Thos WG Allen - 3-16-1839. He woud have needed to be here prior to 10-1-1837 to be first class." It is possible this land grant in Harris county was for our Thompson Allen as Kate Tirado wrote that he lived in Houston, which is in Harris County, before moving to Milam, Sabine County in January, 1841. However it is also possible that this is another Thompson Allen, as the extract of a voters registration list from 1867 (shown in full below) for Thompson Allen shows "Yrs in State: 26, Yrs in County: 26, Yrs in Pct.: 12." This would seem to indicate that he settled directly in Sabine County around 1841, as the years in the state and county match.
According to a list of Sabine County Voter's registrations appearing in YELLOWED PAGES, Winter 1993, Page 27, "Aug 6, 1867 #322 Thompson Allen Prct 5, Yrs in State: 26, Yrs in County: 26, Yrs in Pct.: 12, Native of Georgia."
Gifford White's book, "The First Settlers of Sabine County, Texas" has the following listing: 19 Thompson Allen 1840, 640 acres, Dec 1843, noting further that a Wm D Fry and Bede Johnson are listed with the same dates.
According to an Affidavit of Mrs. C.D. Gooch, dated 25 May 1910, and on file in Sabine County, "Thompson Allen was married twice, that his first wife, whose name was Elizabeth Wooldrige before marriage; died about the year 1848, that she left surviving her, her husband, Thompson Allen and six children as follows: (1) John Allen, who died eight or nine years ago, and left a widow and children; (2) Connilia L. Allen, who married Annanias Oliver about the year 1840, and died 1909, leaving children; (3) Levi Allen who now resides in Lampasas County, Texas; (4) W.W. Allen who now resides in Lampasas, Texas; (5) Mary F. Allen who married W.W. Halbert in 1858 and died about 1900 in Sabine County, Texas leaving her husband and children; (6) Jerusha Allen, who married G.W. Speights in November 1865, and died in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas in 1888 leaving husband and children; That the said Thompson Allen and his first wife, Elizabeth, had four other children, namely Marion, Martha, Elizabeth and Augustus, all of whom died without marrying and leaving no children; that the above mentioned ten children, were all and the only children of the said Thompson Allen and his first wife, Elizabeth Wooldridge, that reached maturity."
After the death of his first wife, Thompson married second Jane Russell, the widow of Epperson Duke Payne.
On the 1854 Sabine County Scholastic Census, Thompson Allen was shown as having five children and stepchildren enrolled in District 10: William, J.P. Pain, J.D. Pain, Mary, and Jerusha.
Blanche Toole, a Sabine County Genealogist and historian stated that, "Thompson and Elizabeth Wooldridge Allen are buried in the Oliphant Chapel Memorial Garden cemetery, and Thompson was a veteran of the Mexican War. " His name has not be located in the index of Mexican War veterans, however. Blanche also indicates that Thompson Allen's sister was Jemima Allen, the first wife of A.D. Oliphint. [Note: This is not proven and may be in error]. Blanche also said that Thompson "came to Texas with his wife, Elizabeth Wooldridge, and with the Oliphints. He settled just south of the Oliphint Chapel Community, on the Palo Gacho Bayou, where he had a grist mill and lumber mill. He lived near the Oliver family. He and his wife had a large family. Elizabeth died 7 March 1847, and was buried in the Oliphint Chapel Cemetery. They were parents of seven children. Three died young. When Thompson Allen died, after 1870, family tradition says that he was buried by his first wife, Elizabeth. It is presumed the three young children were also buried nearby." [Note: presumably Blanche means Thompson and Elizabeth had a total of TEN children, three of whom died young, and seven who lived into maturity]
In the family group sheet given to me by Mrs. Toole, one that was prepared and/or extracted from the notes Edna Mae Hackney, a total of twelve children are shown. It appears that two of these twelve children died before 1836, before the families move to Texas circa 1841. This may account for the discrepency in the number of children. Mrs. Hackney listed detailed birth and death dates for the parents and children, but no support was provided for these dates. Or Mrs. Hackney may have been in error about the two children who died young.
All twelve are shown in this file, however.
In an article entitled "Mrs Etta Nichols Speeks on History of Low's Chapel" published in the August 26, 1965 issue of the SABINE COUNTY REPORTER, "John Morris gave land for church, school and Cemetery about 1890...the school was named for Thomas Allen, and called Allen's Old Mill. Thompson Allen owned a mill that sawed logs into lumber as well as ground corn for meal. It was located about 1/2 mile north of Tuckers Bridge on Palo Gacho. A dam of boards, which was called a tumbling dam, produced the power. The saw worked vertically. Thomas Allen married Glendy McLanahan's mother, who was my great grandmother. Curtis Jackson owned the mill first."
1802 - Dec 22, Thompson born in Abbeville District, SC (Arva Allen Bible notes). Other family records show location of birth as Elbert County, GA. 1850 census shows him as age 48, born SC. 1860 census shows him as age 58, born GA.

Levi and Telitha Allen family
A direct male descendant of Thompson Allen's (through his son William Washington Allen), born with the Allen surname, volunteered to submit a yDNA sample to FamilyTreeDNA.com.
His kit number, in the name of William Allen, is 237184.
The results showed that he was in the R1b1a2a1a1b haplogroup.
He was a 37 marker match to the following :
Samual Doyle Allen Jr (Ancestor Ephraim P. Allen, b. 1820 North Carolina)
Ronald Lee Allen (Ancestor Edmond Allen)
Henry Walton Allen (Ancestor not indicated)
Jerome Brady (Ancestor Richard Brady b. ca. 1805 Co. Caven or Claire, Ireland)
Williams Adams (Ancestor William Adams b. 1816)
Bill Adams emailed the following about his "Adams" lineage: "I can trace my lineage back to William Adams born in Mecklenburg, VA in 1816 or 1820. I know his mother was Sarah/Sally "Adams". (And I think he may have had brothers Alfred and James). I cannot determine who his father was. His grandfather appears to be James Adams who fought in the Revolution. Sarah/Sally having a last name of "Adams" is weird.
Due to the exact match between us, I am wondering whether Sarah/Sally actually had a husband named "Allen" who died or something. Maybe Sarah/Sally went to live with her "Adams" dad for this or some other reason and the kids were raised with an Adams last name. I sayy this because it seems weird to me that Sarah/Sally's husband would also be the same last name of "Adams".
You show your earliest ancestor being 1820, but I do know that the "Adams" in Mecklenburg lived on "Allen's" creek. Also, one of them married an "Allen" (maybe it was William, I can't remember for sure.) I know there were "Allens" living in close proximity to the "Adams" in Mecklenburg, VA."

Excerpt re Walter's parents from a bio of the C. A. Lawler Family
http://www.tomatocapital.com/people/lawler-ca.html
Mr. Lawler's oldest sister, Mattie Lawler Allen, and her husband, Ben Allen, were among the first settlers in old Jacksonville. They later moved to Athens and opened a boarding school, which Mr. Lawler attended before moving to Jacksonville. It was through their influence that he decided to make Jacksonville his home.
