The family of Hugh Allen has been researched by David Snow. If you have any information on this family, please email David
Hugh Allen about 1803 in NC. If you know who his parents, siblings were will you please share with others?
It appears that Hugh married before he came to Sumter Co. AL. The name of his wife was Martha Barker?. Hugh may be from the Allens who were from Anson Co. North Carolina.
There is a Hugh B Allen listed in the 1830 census for Anson Co. NC., page 083 which is thought to be Hugh who came to AL.
By 1840 Census he has removed from Anson Co. and is listed on the 1840 Census in Sumter Co. AL., page 084.
1850 census for Choctaw Co. AL., page 199 house 701.
Hugh Allen age 47 born NC. planter
Hugh patented land in Sumter Co. and later Choctaw Co. in 1837. This land was adjacent to land patented by Joseph Allen and his sons Thomas G. and Amon in 1831, 1835, and 1837. Hugh B Allen and wife Martha, of Choctaw Co. sold this land to Gains Whitfield July 5, 1853 for $400 and the deed is recorded in Marengo Co Deed Book P page 76
Since this search is to find the parents of Hugh Allen, one might use these clues. If anyone has proof that these relatives are connected to Hugh Allen, it would be nice to let others who are researching this line know of the relationship.
