There is an obvious descrepancy between the different sources about the date of birth of William Allen. One says 1762 in Virginia. This is his date of marriage to Keziah (Kizia) Anders, not his birth date.

Other sources show: Born June 16, 1790 in Alabama, United States

WILLIAM ALLEN [1911] was born about 1762 in Virginia.

From web site: http://www.larkcom.us/ancestry/history/allen.cfm)

He performed patriotic service (non military) during the Revolutionary War in North Carolina for which he may have been granted a land bounty. He was a frontiersman in the truest sense of the word, staying at the very edge of civilization most of his adult life. He moved his family to the Cherokee land (probably in an area which would become Blount County, Tennessee) at the end of the Revolutionary War and four years before the U.S. Constitution was ratified. This area became the U.S. Southwest Territory in 1790. Shortly after Tennessee became a state, in 1796, he moved to Spanish West Florida in what would later become St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. He was there when the residents revolted and demanded annexation by the United States in 1810. Louisiana was admitted to the union in 1812. William remained there during the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans. Five years after the Mexican Revolution, he moved to where he died just before the Texas Revolution and the forming of the Republic of Texas.

By 1801 William migrated to Spanish Western Florida. He and his eldest son Nathaniel both acquired land described as being six or seven miles south of the border of the Mississippi Territory. In December 1803 the United States took possession of Louisiana from the French as part of the Louisiana Purchase. This transfer left West Florida under Spanish Control. Then, in 1810, settlers in West Florida rebelled against Spanish rule and declared their independence. It is not known if William was a participant in this uprising.

WILLIAM ALLEN [1911] was born about 1762 in Virginia. He performed patriotic service (non military) during the Revolutionary War in North Carolina for which he may have been granted a land bounty. He was a frontiersman in the truest sense of the word, staying at the very edge of civilization most of his adult life. He moved his family to the Cherokee land (probably in an area which would become Blount County, Tennessee) at the end of the Revolutionary War and four years before the U.S. Constitution was ratified. This area became the U.S. Southwest Territory in 1790. Shortly after Tennessee became a state, in 1796, he moved to Spanish West Florida in what would later become St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. He was there when the residents revolted and demanded annexation by the United States in 1810. Louisiana was admitted to the union in 1812. William remained there during the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans. Five years after the Mexican Revolution, he moved to where he died just before the Texas Revolution and the forming of the Republic of Texas.

William married (1) KEZIAH ANDERS about 1782 probably on North Carolina. She was the daughter of WILLIAM ANDERS and was born about 1762 in North Carolina. Shortly after their marriage, they lived in Georgia where their first child was born. By 1785 they had migrated west to the Southwest Territory, near the northern border of the Mississippi Territory (present day border of Tennessee and Lauderdale County, Alabama) where their remaining six children were born. Tennessee gained statehood in 1796. Keziah is believed to have died there the following year.

By 1801 William migrated to Spanish Western Florida. He and his eldest son Nathaniel both acquired land described as being six or seven miles south of the border of the Mississippi Territory. In December 1803 the United States took possession of Louisiana from the French as part of the Louisiana Purchase. This transfer left West Florida under Spanish Control. Then, in 1810, settlers in West Florida rebelled against Spanish rule and declared their independence. It is not known if William was a participant in this uprising.

In 1816 sons Daniel and John were married in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. In 1817 the Alabama Territory was created out of what was formerly the eastern part of the Mississippi Territory. On December 10 of that same year, Mississippi was admitted to the Union as the 20th state. Daughters Elizabeth and Sarah were married in St. Helena Parish in 1818 and 1819.

William and sons Nathaniel, John and Daniel are recorded in St. Helena in 1820. Son Peter and son-in-law Eli Chance are recorded in Feliciana Parish just west of St. Helena Parish in the same year. William, Hannah and children Nathaniel, Peter, Lydia, John and Mary were there in November 1821 when the estate of William Anders of North Carolina, father of William's first wife Keziah, was settled.
