This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Allen, Neal, Lane, Rhoton, Williams from Lee, Russell, Scott, and Tazewell Counties.

VA. Among their signitures were the Kendricks. So they were living close to them. I has been said that the Samuel is the one who married Sarah Prater. John Allen is my 4x great grandfather and he ended up in Tazewell. I am not sure about George. I think Samuels son would have been to young, but maybe he was a brother to Samuel, as I found a George purchasing land in Henry County VA at the same time SAmuel was. Does anyone, have ANY information about these Allen's. We have been stuck for 20 years trying to track down John's Parents. Please contact me at winterbergs@cox.net Thank you, Sheila Allen-Winterberg
