Your Robert B. Allen is the father of my great-great grandmother, Millie Allen. Robert was
married to Angelina Powell, both from Kentucky. Their family came from Pennsylvania
before that from what I can find out. Millie married William E. Bates and they bought 40
acres along Sugar Creek and spent their lives there. I know of seven children of Robert
and Angelina. One of their sons, Isaac Allen, was married in Missouri but was in Indiana
in the 1880's then moved back to Sumner, MO. My grandparents, my dad and his family
were all born in Boone County, we were born in Clinton County. Isaac Allen came to my
ggrandfathers funeral in 1927 and was living in Sumner, Missouri then. I have more
information and would be glad to share if you need it.
