On the off chance that it might connect, I have an English and Allen family in close proximity in Roane Co. TN in 1830. I have an Andrew English pg. 8(age 20-30) and a William Allen on pg. 13...age 60-70. This is in the border region of Roane/Meigs and I believe there are English's in Meigs also. My Cash family(pg. 4 of Roane Co. TN Census for 1830) came to Cedar Co. MO with other Roane/Meigs families ca. 1848....FORDS, ROWDENS and DUNCAN's. Well, hope this helps.....maye there is a connection for you in those counties of East TN. Let me know if this might connect, Chris...I can also look on my Rhea/Meigs ceneus for the English and Allen families. I believe they are also prominent in 2 Confederate Cavalry Units in East TN.
