LeRoy Allen

Notes:

Tuck Wilson writes that "Tradition has it that Leroy moved to Texas. A Leroy Allen had 80 acres in Huntsville abt. 1840. Alex. A. Allen writes 16 March 1843: News had arrived when I was over (at Uncle Banister's) that Grandpa Allen was dead obtained through Bird's (Bird is Arva's grandson and Banister's son) writing to Uncle Banister. Uncle LeRoy (Arva's son) had obtained the Power of Attorney from him before his death, gone to Virginia, received the legacy and pocketed it safe enough, a great piece of rascality indeed having enclosed in the Power of Attorney a deed of gift to the legacy. There is a very interesting listing in the 1880 Franklin County, Apalachicola Fl Census: Leroy Allen, b. 1826 in SC, parents both born in SC, occupation - mill wright. This guy was born in Barnwell SC, later found in Leon County FL"
