25 Sep 1997, E-mail from Bobbye Varner to Frederick Jackson "Jack" Buckelew: "'...on page 95 it ('Allens of The Southern States' by Norma Carter Miller & George Lane Miller) lists "#1282-Henry Allen was born 1801 in Edgefield County, SC and died 1893 in Jasper County, Mississippi. He married twice (1) January 9, 1826in Clarke Co., AL to Sarah Latham (born 1810 NC, died 1855 AL). (2) After 1855. The name not of the second wife is not known, but she died about 1873.' Quoted verbatim, error & all! Well, we know the second wife was Jane G. CHAMPION! It goes on to list 8 of his childdren - do you have all this or want it? I didn't copy all the book, needless to say, but enough to determine that Henry Allen was the son of Josiah & Elizabeth (Deloach) Allen; Drury Allen (wife, didn't get) ; Robert Allen, Jr. (1704-1784); Robert Allen,Sr. (of VA).
" Henry's brother, Drury Allen, Jr., was born 20 May 1806 in Edgefield Co., SC, died 13 Apr 1908 in Erath Co., TX, nearly a year after the community celebrated his 100th birthday. Is buried at Pine? Knob Cem. in Erath Co. He married twice: (1) 26 Dec 1926 in Clarke Co., AL, to Elizabeth BUCKALEW. (2) 12 Apr 1841 in Clarke Co. to Elizabeth Wood, the widow of John Wood and daughter of William Allen (#14, Chapter 12) & his wife, nee Mary Hicks. (Didn't get #14, Chapter 12).
"In fact only copied pages. 94 &95 that concern your line. As a side note, Henry's older brother, Josiah Allen b. 20 Jan 1800 was a congregational Methodist minister and died at his home in the SW corner of Jasper Co., MS in Dec 1891. Lists three of his children. ....Bobbye"
Abt 1841: Resettled near Choctaw Corners.
After 1880: "...removed to TX where several of his sons and other relatives had settled. During the last few years of his life, Drury lived at Stephenville, Erath Co., TX, with his son, Benjamin Franklin Allen.
"On his 100th birthday, relatives and friends of Drury had an all day celebration in his honor. One of Drury's descendants, Mr. Tim Sears of Houston, TX, is compiling a book about this branch of the Drury Allen Family. He has many intimate details of the migration of the family from AL to TX and their life in the new location.
"The cemetery records of Erath Co. have been published and the names of Drury Allen, Jr. , and several members of his family are found there.
They had the following children:
1830 Clarke Co., AL, Census: wife and two daughters under 10 years of age.
Not found in 1840 Census.
1497. Tilmon Buckalew. Tilmon died in 1850.
1850, Wilcox Co., AL: Will probated. Sister, Elizabeth (Buckelew) Allen, were named as his heirs.
Tilmon married Martha Allen (2714) , daughter of Drury Allen , Jr. (20 May 1806-13 April 1908) & Elizabeth Buckalew (1496) (about 1805-about January 1841). Born about 1828.
