-------------------------
searching for the ancestors of Isaac C. Allen, revolutionary war soldier
under George Rogers Clarke at the battle of Vincennes; died in Fountain
County 1831, buried in Wolfe Creeke Cemetary, Parke County, IN. Also, his
wife, Frances Elizabeth Pettit, b. 1755 in Scott Co., VA, d. between 1824
and 1833, possibly in Crab Orchard, KY. Also, wife of Isaac Allen's son,
Thomas, named Elizabeth Summers, b. 1791 in Scott Co., VA, d. 1875 Fountain
Co., IN. Elizabeth Summers parents were John Summers and Martha Williams.
Also, any research regarding the ancestry of Samuel Wilshire Gass, Sr.,
who was married to Thomas Allen's daughter, Martha, would be very welcome
(his first wife was Rebecca Kidwell). Elizabeth Nolen of Fountain County,
Indiana married Samuel Gass, Jr. (also of Fountain County), and they made
their home in Newton, Illinois. Hope to be able to share research with
you soon.
