Richard, Sure wish I could help you, but unfortunately my dad moved away from Tennessee in 1928, came here to Georgia, and never went back. I am in contact with his sister Velma Bray's family, which is mostly in Florida, but to date I have been unable to locate any of the offspring of his older half-brothers and sisters. In other words, I don't know that Claude Allen isn't (or wasn't) one of my dad's half-brother's Tom or Cleve Allen's sons. I realize that doesn't help, but it is a possible starting point. Tom and Cleve's father was Richard P. "Dick P." Allen. Dick P. Allen was born in Madison Co., TN in 1859 and died in Luray in Henderson, Co. in 1923. Tom and Cleve's mother was Amanda Tracy Gibson, daughter of Wiltz Tracy of Perry Co. She died in a buggy accident in 1916. The boys gravitated over to around Parsons in Decatur Co., where their brother Jim ran a shoe repair shop until his death in 1934. Jim had one son Hobert who died in the army. Tom and Cleve both married McClanahan sisters, however one of them first married a Snyder girl, who died shortly after they were married. As to offspring and what happened next, I am at a dead end.
