I am fascinated by this James Allen of Mason Co KY which one source states
was born in 1783 in Fauquier Co Virginia.
The Allen families of Reeve twp generally descend from Joseph Allen, also
of Mason Co KY. He was born about 1760, served in the Virginia line and
received bounty land in Kentucky. I have always felt he came from teh
Fauquier Co VA area because those he served under were from there. In 1788 he
married Dorothy Walker in Bourbon Co (which was the parent county of Mason)
Kentucky.
That both of these Allen families and descendants moved to Daviess County
makes me wonder if there is a cousin relationship between them. Has anyone
worked on this connection?

The John Allen I know of was born to Josiah Allen and Susan Caldwell Allen
in 1869. Is that the same John Allen? If so I have the family Bible of
Susan's parents. My great grandfather (James W. Allen) and John Allen were
brothers. Sorry it took so long to respond.
