They were also members of the Mt Tabor Church very early. They settled in Washington Co IN before 1816, and have started the New Providence (Elim) Church in 1816. Elisha's Will dated July 11, 1819: pobated Dec. 18, 1819 for Elisha Allen. it lists his heirs: wife Sarah; sons, Elkanor, Thomas, David, Uriah, William, James, and Elijah; daughters, Sarah, and Polly Allen, Elizabeth Lawhorn, Jane Barrett, Nancy Cane, Margaret Acres. Body to be buried in New Provdence Church graveyard. (Indiana) Executor; Aleander Watts. There is a Jonas Allen family Group Sheet posted on Logan Co KY site speculating that Elisha and Sarah were the parents of Jonah. Although this does not appear to be the case, Woody family is a part of the Allen ancestry and I would like to investigate Jonah's line. I have submitted a group sheet for Elisha and Sarah to Logan Co site. Please contact me if you have further information or are interested in sharing ALLEN family information. Thank you.
