I'm looking for the place of residence in South Carolina for this Isaac Allen Family (see below). I would appreciate any information on ANY ALLEN family in Benton Co. (Calhoun). I have been sorting them out and have done a good bit of work on it. I have managed to get one family (not mine that I know of)back to South Carolina and have found a maiden name on that line. There may be as many as 3 Allen Families in Benton. Of course they may connect and I can't prove it. Appears on 1840 Census Benton Co. (Calhoun), AL. 1M 10-15, 1M 15-20, 1M 30-40, 1F 5-10, 1F 10-15, 1F 30-40. Appears on 1850 Census Benton Co., AL. 29th Sub Division, 13th day of Nov 1850, Spartan Allen, Asst. Marshall.
