Allen

Records we have found for all of the above families - just haven't gotten the proof needed if they belong to our Allens (Sarah m.William Woodson ca. 1730) or Walker Families.

You will notice one David Walker who d. 1740. He is the one that gives us trouble figuring out which David they are talking about in these other records. But enjoy reading these and if you spot something that will help you, great - if you know something that will help us - even greater!!
