Rachel, there was a minister in Carroll County by name of Allen Thomas. He was at the Laurel Fork Baptist Church untill his death in 1870's. He was married twice, first wife was Mary Nester. They had a daughter Louisa Thomas, 1866-1923 who married Tazwell E. Sutphin. In 1850 Carroll Census he is age 29. Does the age seem young for the Allen Thomas you are looking for?
