FROM JOYCE PERREAULT: "Richard Allen's father came to America from Wales in the mid 1700's. Richard Allen was born in North Carolina in the late 1700's and came to Kentucky via Wythville, Wythe Co., Virgina, according to his great grandson, Grover Cleveland Allen in SEVEN GENERATIONS OF ALLENS IN KENTUCKY, p. 636. Richard Allen came to Kentucky before 1800, to an area that is now Magoffin County, Kentucky but was once Morgan County. He received land grants in Morgan Co., KY on 9 Oct 1824 for 50 acres on White Oak Creek, and on 27 June 1830 for 50 acres on White Oak Creek. Richard first lived in Caney, Kentucky, for a short while then moved to White Oak Creek. He died at age 69, year not known. (Magoffin Co., KY Cemetery Records, Vol. 3, lists the marked graves in the Allen Cemetery on Lower White Oak and states that there are 20 or more unidentifiable graves, probably Richard and Edith Allen are buried there as their son Daniel W. Allen was buried in this cemetery.) There are no markers for Richard or Edith." Information on this family assimilated by Todd Preston and Ernest Allen. Some early material from Joyce Perreault, P.O. Box 223, Rysley, OK 74062. NOTE FROM ERNEST ALLEN: "This information is of the descendants of Richard Allen, born 1797 and married 1819 Edy Williams, daughter of Elder Daniel Williams. These authentic records are from old family Bibles of the ALLEN families, church records, census reports, cemetery records, and information from older ALLEN family members. The first three or four generations of the Richard ALLEN family settled on the White Oak Creeks of Morgan and Magoffin counties and on Caney Creek in Morgan County, Kentucky." See information on Daniel Allen who died April 1826 in Morgan Co., KY. Richard ALLEN is found in the 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, U.S. Censuses for KY. Some researchers have listed Richard ALLEN as a child of Samuel ALLEN and Sarah Prater. Samuel ALLEN's proven child, William ALLEN was born ca. 1783. It is possible for Richard ALLEN to have been a brother to William. The descendants of the "White Oak Set" of ALLENs have always claimed a relation..."
