These Allens were part of the "Great Migration" from Rockingham County, NC to the Nolensville, Triune, and College Grove area in the early 1800's. It included many families, i.e., Chadwell, Barnes, Fields, Irion, Johnson, Vernon, Cyrus, Scales, Bostic, and others. OGILVIE - family migrated to College Grove & Davidson Co 1796-1800. Much research available on this family; my particular interest is descendants of Harris Ogilvie who lived near Oglesby community off Edmunddson Pike in south Davidson Co. MARRS/MAIRS John, Joseph, Samuel, & Issac Mairs all owned land & lived on Big Harpeth River, probably in the Spencer Creek and/or Nelson Creek area just north of Franklin, in the period 1800-1805. John & Timothy Mairs also in the county in this period. Relationships of these pepople unknown? My ancestor, Issac Mairs/Marrs, m. Hannah Blackshear, widow of Jesse Blackshear, after Jesse died in Williamson Co in 1803. I believe that Issac Marrs was previously married, but I have not proven this. Issac Marrs & Hannah are believed to have had 2 or 3 children, in addition to Blackshear children, and maybe Marrs children by 1st wife. Issac & Hannah Mairs moved to Wayne Co TN between 1820 & 1830. McMAHON Daniel McMahon owned land on Big Harpeth River as early as 1786. This land was probably in the Spencer Creek and/or Nelson Creek area just north of Franklin. Daniel McMahon, born 1751, died 1838, in Williamson County. In his will he mentions a son Joseph McMahon, and daughers Rachel Farmer, Elizabeth Dickson, and Cassandra McMahon. What was his relation, if any, to Ansley (Ainsley) McMahon, a contemporary, also a resident of Williamson County. Possibly (?) a descendant McMahon family, headed by Margaret McMahon, a widow b. in VA, move from Williamson Co TN to west TN (Madison, Wayne, Hardin, Hardeman counties) in early 1820's. Lorenzo D. McMahon (I believe to be a son of Margaret) married Matheldy Marrs about 1832 in Wayne Co TN. Bill Allen allen@nconnect.net West Bend, WI
