The following query was posted to the Augusta County Query Page on Mon Feb 22 23:39:20 1999 PLEASE ADRRESS YOUR REPLY TO: BobBecAlln@aol.com (Robert M. Allen) I am descended from Robert ALLEN, Sr., born circa 1715 probably in Ulster Province Ireland. He first appears in Augusta Co., VA between 1755-1758. He married twice, first to __?__ in Ireland and second to Martha __?__ (some say her maiden name was Armstrong and she was the widow of a __?__ Monticue). Children of the first wife were (listed in the order mentioned in Robert ALLEN, Sr.'s will): James (alive in 1785), Robert, Jr., (1741-1788 - my ancestor)who married Jane TURK (1749-1845), daughter of Thomas TURK (1718-1809), John, died in 1830 in Rockbridge Co., VA, who married Jane __?__ (some say Monticue), William, who married Mary __?__ and moved by 1803 to the part of Kanawha Co., VA which became Mason Co., VA in 1804, Mary who married __?__ McClure/McClary/ Mallory, Anne who married __?__ Frazier. Children of the second wife, Martha, were: Monticue, born circa 1760, married Evy Shore 10 Oct., 1795, died circa 1800, Benjamin, born 1763, died after 1844 in McMinn Co., TN, Thomas, born after 1764, Elizabeth, born 1768, died after 1810, married Samuel Meek. Robert Allen, Sr., wrote his will on 17 Sept. 1785 and it was proved in the Augusta Co., VA Court on 15 Feb. 1791. I am trying to contact living descendants interested in the genealogy of these ALLEN and TURK families. I am particularly interested in locating the whereabouts of Robert ALLEN's, Sr.'s children, James, William, Mary, Anne and Thomas after 1785.
