    Notes:

    Said to have been born in the Old District 96 of South Carolina.

    Per FIRST SETTLERS OF SABINE COUNTY he received 320 acres of land on March 4, 1844

    It is currently not known where he was located in 1840. There is a John W. Allen listed on the Carroll Parish, Louisiana census at that time. However, that John Allen was born sometime between 1800 and 1810, and has two daughters over the age of 10. It is not currently known if they are the same man.

    On the 1854 Scholastic Census, his children Jas T. and Martha (s/b Margaret Elizabeth) were shown as being enrolled

    In YELLOWED PAGES: VOLUME XXIV, No. 1, Spring, 1994, page 43, a list of Sabine County Voter's registrations are shown. Information about J.W. Allen is shown as follows:

    January 29, 1868: 478 J.W. Allen Pct. Mi3, Years in State--27, Years in County--27, Years in Pct--27, Native of South Carolina.

    According to the book "Selected Tax Rolls of Shelby County, Texas 1837,1845,1855,1865,1875,1885," a J.W. Allen paid taxes in Shelby County in 1885.

    In her notes, Kate Allen Tirado erroneously list her uncle as John T. Allen, and shows his place of death as Sabine County.

    *Jane is the daughter of J.W. Allen by wife Caroline. Jane was born in December 1850, and the 1850 census was taken in October 1850. Therefore, Caroline would have been between 6 and 7 months pregnant at the time of the census. The 1860 census was taken in June, before Jane had reached her 10th birthday.

    #The mother of Susan Allen is not known. It does not seem likely that she is the daughter of John's second wife, Margaret Harvey Allen, who had moved back home with their one year old daughter, Mary Allen. Did John have a daughter by a woman other than his then wife, perhaps leading to their separation? Or is Susan perhaps a niece or other family member? Or are Mary/Susan the same child, listed in both households?

    His former wife, Margaret, and his daughter Mary are living in another household in 1860, as follows:

    Myrtle Springs receives marker

    An official Texas Historic Cemetery Marker was dedicated April 28, at Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery. The day was also the cemetery's annual homecoming......

    The newly placed marker reads:
    GENEVA MYRTLE SPRINGS CEMETERY

    Situated North of the small, rural community of Geneva, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery serves as the primary resting place for pioneers, settlers of the area, and their descendants. Originally granted to Juan Ignatino Pifermo in 1794, the town of Geneva grew in the 1820s when pioneers began to settle there from the east. Geneva was first known as Shawnee village and later as Jimtown, after two early settlers of the are, Jim Halbert and Jim Willis. Originally surveyed for Daniel F. Renfro in 1838, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery is comprised of land granted by Levi T. ALLEN in 1879 for use as a church and cemetery. The Geneva Baptist Church was first located on the present day cemetery site, but later moved south of the area. In addition, a school was once located near the cemtery near Myrtle Springs, organized by William Thomas Arnold.

    The general landscaping of the cemetery is traditional with brick, marble, sandstone, grantie, wood, and metal grave markers. The first marked grave is that of William J. JONES from 1888, but Bible records indicate that there were earlier unmarked graves, including that of Wiley William CROW (1845-1877). Among the many pioneer families interred at this cemetery, there are veterans of the Civil War, including Wiley CROW, Seth Marion LAYFIELD (1833-1906), and James T. MEADOR (1845-1933), as well as veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Iraq War. Burials for members of the fraternal organizations such as Woodmen of the World are present. Today, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery Association maintains and cares for the cemtery, while also serving the community of Geneva. Historic Texas Cemetery -2010.

    Levi married Talitha Halbert on 23 Dec 1857 in Sabine County, Texas. Talitha was born on 15 Jun 1832 in Alabama; died on 8 Jun 1905; was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Lampasas County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    (Medical):yDNA results

    A direct male descendant of William Washington Allen's, born with the Allen surname, volunteered to submit a yDNA sample to FamilyTreeDNA.com.

    His kit number, in the name of William Allen, is 237184.

    The results showed that he was in the R1b1a2a1a1b haplogroup.

    He was a 37 marker match to the following :

    Samual Doyle Allen Jr (Ancestor Ephraim P. Allen, b. 1820 North Carolina)
    Ronald Lee Allen (Ancestor Edmond Allen)
    Henry Walton Allen (Ancestor not indicated)
    Jerome Brady (Ancestor Richard Brady b. ca. 1805 Co. Caven or Claire, Ireland)
    Williams Adams (Ancestor William Adams b. 1816)

    Bill Adams emailed the following about his "Adams" lineage: "I can trace my lineage back to William Adams born in Mecklenburg, VA in 1816 or 1820. I know his mother was Sarah/Sally "Adams". (And I think he may have had brothers Alfred and James). I cannot determine who his father was. His grandfather appears to be James Adams who fought in the Revolution. Sarah/Sally having a last name of "Adams" is weird.

    Due to the exact match between us, I am wondering whether Sarah/Sally actually had a husband named "Allen" who died or something. Maybe Sarah/Sally went to live with her "Adams" dad for this or some other reason and the kids were raised with an Adams last name. I sayy this because it seems weird to me that Sarah/Sally's husband would also be the same last name of "Adams".

    You show your earliest ancestor being 1820, but I do know that the "Adams" in Mecklenburg lived on "Allen's" creek. Also, one of them married an "Allen" (maybe it was William, I can't remember for sure.) I know there were "Allens" living in close proximity to the "Adams" in Mecklenburg, VA."
