I would like to hear from any ALLEN researchers, and especially any who have traced back their lines to early Perry County. There is, for example, a Joseph Allen who appears in the 1820 Perry County census. A James Allen and a Rich Allen signed a petition to move the Perry/Humphrey County line in 1822, 23, and W. H. Allen and Samuel Allen appear in the 1840 Perry Co. census. My Allens moved over to Perry County from Madison County, TN in the early 1860's, and I suspect a connection with these early Allen settlers in Perry County brought them there. I am still working to flesh out the descendants of Richmond/Richard P. and Mary Allen, particularly in Decatur and Henderson counties. In Decatur County, there's Rilla (Riller) Allen (d. 1912) who was married to Robert J. Smith, and Nancy (Nannie) Allen who was married to Roger Mitchell "Mitch" Gibson. Also in Decatur Co., I need to know more about Tom and Cleve (William Cleve) Allen, sons of Dick P. Allen and Amanda Tracy Gibson Allen. In Henderson County, there's the descendants of James M. and Lydia J. Moore Allen. This James Allen died in 1922 or 23. Any help I can get will be appreciated.
