ALLEN FAMILY TREEDescendants of John "Pitcher" Allen |
||
This family tree is complete as far as the information that I have to date. I have some work cut out for me to give this data a uniform look. The rather ragged appearence it now has is largely the result of having to recreate my website with a new ISP.In April 2011, cousin Frances Titsworth who was in contact with distant cousin Teena Cantrell (descendant of James Gregory Allen, Alexander Allen's brother) was able to identify with a high degree of probability the parents of Alexander. We now know that Alex had multiple brothers and sisters (listed here). I suspect this new data will led to the discovery of much additional information and will require modification of the information below. I will need to redo the family tree at some point to bring it completely up to date. I also intend to include the other children and descendants of James Gregory Allen.1. John P. Allen, born in 1804 in New York (according to the 1850 census) and died between 1853-1860 probably Crawford County, Arkansas. He married about 1844 Polly Taylor, a widow with children. Some researchers claim that her given name was Margaret (Chitwood) Taylor, but we have evidence to exclude this claim. Polly was born in Alabama abt. 1817.
