I can't put you in contact with a descendant. Here is what I have on Francis and Eliza (Cloud) Allen. Francis Allen was born in 1809 in Virginia. Eliza Cloud was born in 1815 in Tennessee. They were living in Lee County, Virginia in 1850 and had ten children - all born in VA. John - 15 Rebecca - 13 Martha - 12 William - 11 Mary - 9 James - 7 Alexander - 5 Benjamin - 4 Eliza H. - 2 Susan - 6 months They were living in Winchester, Clark County, KY by 1870. There were three children still living at home. they were: Susan - 20 A.C.C. - male - 19 A second child named Mary - 17. The first Mary may have died between 1850 and 1853. Check marriage records in Lee Co., VA and Clark County, KY and find who the children married. You can follow the trail from there. I would start with John Allen who may have married between 1855 - 1860.
