Hi everybody! A few weeks ago I posted my search for my great grandfather's parents. GGF was Simeon Allen (b. 1823? d. 1910), married Martha Frances Dunevant. By 1853 Simeon was living in Buckingham County near Enonville. Oral tradition his him as descendent of Capt. Richard Allen. Richard had a son, David, who petitioned (unsucessfully) as Richard's heir for the Rev. war pension. A David Allen is shown in the 1850 Halifax County census as having a Simeon of 30 years of age living in his household as of 1850. Can anybody help fill in the gap? If there's an 1850 census of Buckinham that shows Simeon was not yet in Buckingham, even that would help. An added note: I have a piece of blue/white cloth called by my great aunt as an "family cloth" to be passed down generation to generation. There's a lot of oral history associated with it. Any matches out there? Thanks, Noel
