Allen - Drew Co ARK (1860-ish to 1925), before that ALA (Barbour Co) and (GA ??

By DAVID LORD September 01, 2008 at 06:35:27

I'm looking for fellow descendants of this family ...

Descendants of William B Allen
                                          
Husband
William B Allen              
b: Bet. 1821 - 1826 Georgia
m: 20 Jan 1847 Barbour Co, Alabama ... county marriage record says "William B Allen married Caroline Commins 1/20/1847 by Council Bush, JP"       
d: Aft. 1860 Prob ALA, prob early 1860s

Wife
Penelope Caroline Commins/Cameron
the marriage record says Commins or Cummins, but she apparently had a brother named Cameron in later census record
b: 09 Mar 1832 Georgia ...her family may have been from GA, from SC, or maybe even Scotland
d: 06 Jan 1917 Drew Co, Arkansas

Children
Susan C Allen              
b: 1848 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama
don't know what happened to her after 1860 census ..the family moved to Arkansas in the 1860s, but she likely got married before 1870 and no idea who or where

William Casper Allen
b: 29 Jul 1850 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama
d: 12 May 1927 Drew Co, Arkansas

Mildred Josephine Allen       
b: 29 Apr 1852 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama              
d: 21 Jan 1946 Little Rock, Pulaski Co, Arkansas
married Macon Robert Lord in Drew Co Ark 1875 and raised her family in Drew Co, Ark

Henry Preston Allen              
b: 04 May 1854 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama              
d: 28 Jul 1907 Drew Co, Arkansas

George S Allen              
b: 20 Nov 1859 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama              
d: 09 Jan 1883 Drew Co, Arkansas

John Allen              
b: 1861 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama              
d: Aft. 1880 ..he was in Drew Co ARK census, single, in 1880

Any family stories, pictures, history, or even names-dates-places would be appreciated. I'm especially interested in any info on the roots of this family if any exists.

Possible roots? I have 2 weak ones and that's all. There was an early settler of Barbour Co ALA named Dr George L Allen who came to America in 1840, and died in Aug 1855. Alternately, a lady in Baldwin Co GA named Susanna Allen whose will was recorded in Baldwin Co GA (1811) and then in Barbour Co ALA (1834), implying connections to both places.

Drop me an email if you like,
