Notes
a. Note:   Nancy Roberts Allen was born* on January 25, 1825 in Perry Co., Kentucky. She was the daughter of John Roberts, who according to legend, was born in Virginia on the same night as the famous Revolutionary War battle at Cowpens, South Carolina, January 19, 1781. Her mother was Susan Campbell, whose brother, John fought in the War of 1812. Nancy married James Allen in Perry Co. around 1843, although no record of their marriage exists.
  The family farmed in Perry, Owsley and Wolfe Co.'s before James died in the Civil War. Nancy kept the family farm going in Wolfe Co. for a number of years after the death of her husband in 1864. She lived with various children starting before 1880, and continuing until her death in July 1911. She had gone blind suddenly while walking home one day. She took to her bed, smoked her pipe and made up songs that she sang to her grandchildren. Her mother, Susannah, and Aunt Nancy had also gone blind.
  There is a story about a string of black beads that Nancy's son, Stephen, had given her. He had gotten the beads from some gypsies he met on the river in exchange for food. She never took the necklace off and was eventually buried with it. The value of the necklace increased through the years with each telling of the story until finally, someone decided to retrieve them from her grave. According to the story, the attempt was unsuccessful, thanks to a nest of copperhead snakes that required the grave robbers to be rescued by a passing farmer and his tractor. The deed was never attempted again.
