I too am researching Allens, along with Campbell, Colborn, of Perry County. My gr, gr, gr, gr, grandparents were Nathan Allen, Jr. and Lucretia his wife. I show them to be the parents of Nancy Allen who married William Pace on January 10, 1828. Oliver Allen her brother married Lucinda Pace January 31, 1828 and Oliver is my gr, gr, gr, grandfather. Nathan Allen, Jr and Lucretia are on page 128, Perry county 1850 census, he was born in connecticut and occupation shown as cooper. If anyone can tell me what a cooper was I'd appreciate that. My family had some research done some years ago and I could furnish you copies if you think this is a match. Additionally, my tree is at familytreemaker.com/users/p/e/r/Susan-Perry/index.html should you want to view it.

My great-grandfather, James K. Polk PACE was born Sept. 26, 1847 in Bearfield Twp., Perry Co., OH. William PACE his father and Nancy ALLEN his mother. 1850 census for Bearfield Twp., Perry Co. OH lists: PACE, William, Age 49, Farmer, Born PA PACE, Elizabeth, age 25 PACE, William, age 18 Laborer, Born OH PACE, Cynthia, age 12 PACE, Clarissa, age 10 PACE, Isaac, age 8 PACE, Thomas, age 6 PACE, James K. Polk, age 3 PACE, George W, age 5 mo. William PACE & Nancy ALLEN were married in Licking Co., OH on January 10, 1828. Nancy was born abt. 1805. William PACE married Elizabeth HALL on February 15, 1849. They had another child, Margaret Anna in 1851. I know very little about Nancy ALLEN. She obviously died before 1850 as Elizabeth is listed in William's household then. Nancy would have been the mother of the children born before George W. In doing some research at the Gen. Room at the library in New Lexington, I found that the PACE and ALLEN names were connected frequently in Perry & surrounding counties. The ALLEN name is still carried in my family. My grandfather and my brother's middle names are ALLEN. I have not been able to discover who Nancy ALLEN's parents are.
