The ALLEN (I) Patrilineage Descendancies

The following ancestral ALLEN (I) descendancies are based on the research of ALLEN patrilineage members, and on the sources listed in the project bibliography. Although there are areas of weakness in these lineages, due both to less than exhaustive research, and to inherently sketchy records, a significant and ongoing effort is being made to ensure that what is posted here in abbreviated form represents the best current thinking on these ALLEN patrilineage descent trees.

Nothing should be inferred from the absence of specific dates, or of cited evidence. In most cases, full dates have been abbreviated to year dates, and this web-publishing format is unsuited to the presentation of evidence and argument. In many or most cases, evidential material, or more complete descendancies, are available via source links in the headnotes below, or directly from the listed researchers, as well as from the more general sources listed as links under “ALLEN (I) Genealogical Resources & Evidence”, in the left navigation panel of the main project page.

Each descendancy begins with the earliest known male ancestor of a particular sublineage and continues down to the tested male descendant. Since this DNA patrilineage project is focused on tested or testable males surnamed ALLEN, these descendancy trees have generally been pruned not only of daughters, but also of most male lines that are known to have gone extinct or “daughtered out”, though in some instances all the sons, or even complete reconstructed families including daughters, will be included because of their broad-based genealogical interest; in such cases males (or their wives, if given) known or presumed to have no sons, or no male descendants with their surname, will be flagged as appropriate with: “no (known) issue” (NIssue or NKIssue),“no (known) sons” (NSons or NKSons), or “no (known) surviving patrilineal descendants” (NSPD or NKSPD). All of these terms and abbreviations mean that this is a patrilineal dead end.

The information provided for each male ALLEN should be sufficient in most cases to uniquely identify him in the USCensus and other readily available sources. These data comprise (insofar as is known): date and place of birth, date and place of death, the name(s) of his wife (or wives) and the date and place of marriage.

Places are abbreviated to the most important jurisdictional place where records are to be found). For most states/colonies these are counties; for New England, towns.

Indefinite dates are always qualified as either approximate (“abt”, “bef”, “aft”, or “by”) or merely guesstimated (“say”). Approximated dates imply supporting evidence which merely fails of complete accuracy, while “say” dates are guesstimates based on typical patterns of the time, place, and social group.

The yDNA-tested male descendants are flagged below with their Project #s and the “handle” of the Principal Researcher, e.g.  Donald-05, Camilla-06).

Inferences about the placement of the distinctive yDNA mutations of project members have been interwoven with their descendancies, below, in red text; please note, however, the careful qualifications in these DNA notes where they appear. Most inferences drawn from DNA evidence are probabilistic in nature and one needs to keep an open mind about alternative interpretations, just as one does with the genealogy itself.

Sources: This Robert descendancy is the main focus of MILLER, and except for the final generations connecting to the present, has been derived from MILLER by John B. Robb.  It should be noted, however, that Melba Allen of Mississippi has an entirely different reconstruction of the top of this Allen tree.   Donna Bailey, who is a descendant of this line through Robert->Robert->Josiah of South Carolina, has furnished additional material for her more recent ancestors.

1-William Allen of New Kent, Goochland, and Albemarle Counties, Virginia, born say 1691

Sources:  The major published source for this line is WICKER. Bill A. Allen, Donald Allen, and Rev. Rod Allen tie into this line and the first two of these have published books which not only mesh with WICKER, but also exfoliate their own lineages provide much colorful anecdotal and background information that brings their genealogy to life. The Rev. Rod has sponsored primary records research covering most of the few extant records of Buckingham County, Virginia, whence most descendant lineages have sprung. See Bill_A_ALLEN, and Donald_ALLEN.
