Notes
a. Note:   Thomas Allen was 66 when he died 9/7/1832 and was therefore born ~1766. The will of Eramus Wethers Allen (signed 10/26/1787 and proven 8/5/1789) mentions several daughters and two sons, William Allen and Thomas Allen and mentions wife Sarah. On 10/25/1786, Thomas Allen was granted 43 acres of land on Bryan�s Mill Creek next to James Forbush, John Johnston, James Chapman and James Wilson. On 4/11/1789, Eramus and Sarah Allen sold 43 acres of land on Brian�s Mill Creek next to James Forbis, John Johnston, James Chapman and James Wilson. It appears from these land transactions and will that Thomas Allen may be the son of Eramus Allen and Sarah Allen. In 1797, �Margaret� Allen was listed in her father�s will and Thomas Allen was a witness for the will. In November of 1800, Thomas Allen lets Brumbly Coker have 162 acres on Elisha�s Creek for 200 pounds. On 12/27/1806, John Bryan and wife Rebekah let Thomas Allen have 105 acres on Muddy Creek next to Edward Yarbory and Phillip Hanes for $300. In 1807, Thomas Allen let James Baxter have 105 acres on Muddy Creek next to Matthew Jones and Valentine Fry for 150 pounds. On 4/8/1811, John Fox let Joseph Dial have 270 acres on Elisha�s Creek waters of Dutchman�s Creek next to land owned by Joseph Allen, said Joseph Dial, Thomas Allen, John Cheshier, Brumble Coker and Nicholas W. Gaither. There is also evidence of Thomas Allen living in Davidson Co., Tennessee. In 1805, Thomas Allen and Zachariah Allen were enumerated in the 1805 tax list of Davidson Co., Tennessee. Obviously, there must be two Thomas Allens as another Thomas Allen was found in Rowan Co., North Carolina as late as 1811. In 1809, Samuel Bryan (2) purchased 50 acres of land from John Burnham in Davidson Co., Tennessee. In the description of the land, Zachariah Allen, Thomas Allen and Newton Edney w ere listed as neighbors. In 1812, Thomas Allen and Zachariah Allen were listed in another tax list of Davidson Co., Tennessee. In 1816, Thomas Allen and Zachariah Allen were listed in another tax list of Davidson Co., Tennessee. In 1839, Samuel Bryan (3) sold the fifty acres that Samuel Bryan (2) purchased from John Burnham in 1809. This deed also lists Zachariah Allen, Thomas Allen and Newton Edney as neighbors. This was land inherited by Samuel Bryan (3) from his father, Samuel Bryan (2). It is not known if the Allens l ived there at this time or if the description of the property was just being copied from the original deed. In 1820, Thomas Allen (born before 1775) was living in Madison Co., Illinois (the parent Co. of Greene Co., Illinois). In 1830, Thomas Allen (born 1760 to 1770) was living in Greene Co., Illinois. The 1873 newspaper, The White Hall Register, has a detailed biog raphical sketch of Thomas Allen and his brother, Zachariah Allen and states: the �progenitor of the Allen family, came from Tennessee to Madison Co., stopping near Upper Alton, about as early as any other white settlers in th at region. His wife was a Miss Bryant having been married in Tennessee. His house at Belltown was the first house built north of Apple Creek, in Greene Co..� Author�s note: It appears that Thomas and Zachariah may have lived in Davidson Co., Tennessee prior to migrating to Greene Co., Illinois. Also note that Thomas Allen married Margaret Bryan in 1789 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. The newspaper article continues: Thomas Allen �was a socia ble, cheerful and a real philosopher. He was a Calvinist seceder from the Pr esbyterian Church. He died at Belltown about 1835.� Thomas and Margaret All en were the parents of eight children: According to the History of Greene C ounty, �Thomas Allen was a large, corpulent man, weighing over 250 pounds, an d was good natured and jolly, and especially de 1810 Census Unk Twp., Shelby Co., Kentucky, P221 Males 1-45.
