NC Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Johnston/12164 Surname: Allen ------------------------- I remember this name very well from my grandfather who worked as a policeman for Charlie Allen who was chief of police in Clayton. My dad said that Charlie was from Smithfield, but he did not know for sure if Charlie was a policeman in Smithfield or not. I expect that the Clayton News and/or Smithfield Hearld would have stories and pictures of him during those years. I do not know any additional info on the Allen's.
