Creed Allen was my 2nd great grandfather. He married Nancy Elizabeth Martin, she was about 5 years older than he was. My family told me that he disappeared one morning on his way to work at a sawmill in Patrick Co, VA. Nancy Elizabeth Martin Allen is buried in a cemetery near the Bouldin Presbyterian Church at what is known as the crossroads area of Patrick Co. I can send you other information I have on Creed Allen but need to get my records here in front of me. I have always felt that he went to WVA leaving his family in Patrick Co. Whether they knew he went is not known by anyone in my family but his father Preston Allen left his mother Lucy Boyd Allen and he went to WVA where he remarried twice and had other children. Lucy Boyd Allen also remarried to a John Walker and they lived in Patrick Co until John Walkers death. Then Lucy went to live with relatives in Kansas (think I am remembering this right)and she is buried out there. Let me get my information together and I will get back to you. I am interested in hearing more about Creed Allen's death as I have not been able to find any information that tells where he died.
