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

d: 28 Jul 1907 Drew Co, Arkansas
George S Allen
b: 20 Nov 1859 Eufala, Barbour Co, Alabama

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,
