Hi Jim, OK...checked my 1830 Rhea Co. TN Census(later becomes Meigs Co. 1836): Allen, James 1200001-102101 pg. 357...my James I. Cash is on this page along w/ brother Bogan. The name Allen Cash winds up in my Close Cash families as it does in the Gibson family from the area. Never does Allen show up as a name in my East TN group...only here in North Meigs/South Roane. This is area of Roane/Meigs border....not far from the Allen on the Roane Co. TN Census . Continuing on w/ Rhea(later Meigs Co.) TN....... Allen, Mark 202001-022001 pg. 357 side by side w/ James above pg. 388 English, Matthew 00201101-00001001 on same page: Allen, Matthew 20001-2001 pg. 388 Allen, Andrew 200001-2001 pg. 392 note Andrew English below. Rhea Co. was split down the middle in 1836....the right of the Tn River became Meigs Co. and the left was what was left of Rhea. So, I am not sure if this area for Rhea is now modern day Meigs Co. My Cash's are on pg. 354-59 which supposedly sit on the border of Modern day South Roane Co. and North Meigs. There are also in South Roane Co.... Roane Co. TN Census for 1830 English, Andrew 10001-00001 pg. 8.....surrounding names Hardin, Deatherage, Webb, Jolley, Jennings, Riggs..etc. My 2nd great grandfather James Monroe Cash aka "Monroe" b. 1825 TN's father?...William Cash was on page 4. Elijah Rowden is on same page and he also went to Cedar Co. MO by 1850 with my Monroe Cash and Ford families. Apparently, they were in Lynn Twnsp., near the old community of Concord. Monroe comes back after he is burned out of his farm in 1860 and fights for the Confederacy w/ many of these men and their families while living in North Meigs Co.. In the roster of Confederates in Welcker's Batt'n(based out of Roane Co.) Allen, Valentine Well, hope this helps some....no Allen's in the 1810-15 catagory, but maybe there is still a link here. Sure sounds like maybe this is your family or a branch of them. Let me know if anything connects. Take Care and hope to hear, Chris Cash
