Notes
The following information is from "Allens of the Southern States":
Richard Allen, Sr., was a land processioner in New Kent County in 1689.
Mr. Richard Allen was a staunch member of the official Church of England, which leaves little doubt that he was of English extraction. Except for two terms as church warden in 1706-1707 and 1718-1719, Richard Allen was a vestryman continuously from June 1704 until his death there in 1725. His name was among those listed regularly as present at the vestry meetings.
St. Peter's Parish Register records show the birth of nine slaves, seven "belonging to" Mr. Richard Allen and two born after Mr. Allen's death "belonging to" Mrs. Elizabeth Allen. The birth of a child, George, is also recorded; and he was probably the child for whom the parish vestry paid Mr. Allen 1,100 pounds to care for until he "comes of age".
It is inconceivable that a man of his age and wealth would not have left a will to protect a wife and other heirs, because, under the laws of primogeniture, the oldest male descendant would have been the sole heir in the absence of a will. If Mrs. Elizabeth Allen was the widow of Richard Allen, the fact that she owned slaves may indicate that he did make either a will or a deed of gift to her and that those legal instruments must be among the many "lost records" of Virginia. The deed of Charles Winfree and his wife Jame implies that they had inherited land which had been purchased by Richard Allen before his death. That would have required a written will or a deed of give, had Mr. Allen had a male heir.
