Biography

http://mallen4896.tripod.com/Allen/Allen-Josiah.html

Josiah Allen son of Robert Allen Jr. of Lunenburg, Co. VA., (d 1782) was born about 1732. He is listed as a tithable in 1750 and this would account for his age to be about 18 years of age.

Family records indicates he was married twice. The first wife died after the family moved to South Carolina. He then married (2) to Elizabeth DeLoach.

Josiah settled in what was or became Ninety-Six-District. He was Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Josiah was one of three men who was captured by the Tories and carried into the swamps and put to death.

The estate papers of Josiah Allen can be found in Probate Court Records in Abbeville, SC., and names James Allen as the oldest son. James was the next of kin and was appointed administrator of his fathers estate. This tells us that James is from the first marriage.

After the death of Josiah the widow married Aaron Etheridge. Aaron died in 1821 and left his will in Edgefield Co. SC. He names Elizabeth as his wife and widow of Josiah Allen. He also names three of the Allen children by her first marriage, namely; Nancy Mathis, Milbury Clark Allen, and Drury Allen. Elizabeth died prior to 1843

Children of Josiah Allen are:

• 1. James Allen born about 1753 in Lunenburg Co. VA. died in Montgomery Co. AL.
