My ggg grandparents were Isam & Martha Montgomery Allen. In researching this line recently, I found Isam, Martha & family living in Floyd Co. KY in 1820 & living near them was a Thompson Poplett. He must have been about the same age as Isam (between 20&30). He had no sons living at home but had 1 female under 10 & 1 female between 16&26, like Martha. In Martha's family group from Family Search, she had a sister, Jane, b 6 May 1800 & d 6 Nov 1841 in Knox, Illinois. Their father, John Montgomery was a soldier in the Rev. War. He was b 5 Aug 1764 in Scott Va & d. 26 Jan 1845 in Princeville, Peoria, Ill. He was m. 5 Aug 1785 in Va. to Shusannah Porter, b 29 Jul 1763 in Guilford, NC & d. 30 Nov 1802 in Va. If Jane Montgomery, Martha's sister m. Thompson Poplett that would explain why they lived close. Now I wonder which event happened first: Isaac marrying Margaret or Thompson marrying Jane. I have no info on who Thompson's parents were but from the years you had for Thompson & Margaret, she would have been about the right age to be his mother. Cyndy Thompson
