I am searching for information on Reuben Allen, living in Wayne Co in 1820(
per 1820 census), he migrated from North Carolina, (possibly from Rowan
County) in 1819 or 1820. His oldest son was William H Allen. His youngest
son may have been R W Allen (also Reuben, but used his initials rather than
Reuben as an adult).
The elder Reuben may have migrated to Wayne Co with other Allen families,
perhaps his brothers and their families. (There were 6 other Allen families
listed in the 1820 Wayne Co census: Adam, age 26-44; Hugh, age 26-44;
Jeremiah, age 45+; John, age 16-25; Jonathan, age 45+; William, age 26-44)
The 1820 census shows the following members of the Reuben Allen household:
4 males under 10
1. Is the youngest son R W Allen, born 3 Oct 1818 - later
migrated to Madison Co, IN
2.

4.

William H Allen, born 07 Sep, 1798, married Sarah Prather in 19
Oct 1826 in Wayne Co - later migrated to Madison Co, IN
1 male 45 & Over
1. Reuben Allen, born 1775 or prior
1 female under 10

4 females 10 to 15
1.

4.
1 female 26 to 44

Does anyone have any information about the Reuben Allen family or any of the
other Allens who may be his siblings or otherwise related.
