Notes |
- Allen moved from Fleming Co., Ky. to Missouri in 1866 and for a time lived
near Pleasant Hill, when they removed to West Peculiar Township where he was
engaged in farming until his death in 1884.
He was prominent in local affairs in his community during his life time and
was especially interested in church work. He was an elder in the christian
Church at Peculiar for a number of years and later was identified with the
West Union Christian Church in which he was also an elder. During the Civil
War he cast his lot with the Confederacy, serving throughout that great
conflict with Kentucky troops under the command of Gen'ls Morgan and Jackson.
His wife, who was a devout member of the Christian church and a consistent
Christian, died in 1874.
