Margaret, The ALLEN family mentioned in this will are very familar to me. My first known ALLEN ancestor was John ALLEN Sr., born abt. 1645 and married Barbara WITHERS. Their son, William ALLEN, born in Stafford Co., Va. in abt. 1675, married Margaret WAGGONER. Their daughter, Dinah ALLEN married John JAMES. They lived in Fauquier Co., Va. I don't know who the ALLENS were in the will you posted, but I am quite sure they are the same family of ALLENS. Velma Finley **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
