ALLEN FAMILY TREEDescendants of John Pitcher Allen |
|
In April 2011, cousin Frances Titsworth who was in contact with distant cousin Teena Cantrell (descendant of James Gregory Allen, Alexander Allen's brother) was able to identify with a high degree of probability the parents of Alexander. We now know that Alex had multiple brothers and sisters (listed here).1. John Pitcher Allen, born in 1804 in New York (according to the 1850 census) and died between 1853-1860 probably Crawford County, Arkansas. He married about 1844 Mrs. Polly Taylor, a widow with children (William, b. abt. 1838 and Margaret, b. abt. 1842, both born in Alabama); some researchers claim that her given name was Margaret (Chitwood) Taylor, but we have evidence to exclude this claim. Polly was born in Alabama abt. 1817.
