WAGON TRAIN MIGRATION
In viewing the past queries, I notice many surnames that also appear in
Greene Co, MO. There was a migration between 1840 and 185? from McMinn
Co, TN to Greene Co, MO and also to surrounding counties in MO. The Ozarks
Genealogical Society should be helpful for those who are suddenly missing
a line in McMinn Co. If you find this helpful, would you mind looking up
the birth of John W. Britton, in McMinn Co, TN, 11 Feb 1797? Thank you,

when she was a child. Many thanks in advance.

ALLEN
ALLEN. I am hoping to communicate with others researching the genealogy
of Benjamin ALLEN (1763-1844) who lived in McMinn Co., TN from at least
1825-1844. He appears as a head of household in the 1830 McMinn Co., TN
census, age 60-70, with apparently his wife, age 60-70. The names of his
wife and children are unknown. His wife might be the Elizabeth ALLEN listed
in the McMinn Co., TN probate records for 6 Jan 1851 with a remark that
the Court paid for a shroud for a pauper (for Elizabeth? Benjamin?). Benjamin
ALLEN signed a Declaration in 1844 for a Revolutionary War pension which
indicated that he was a resident of McMinn Co., TN. Who were his children?
Who was his wife? Does anybody know of a bible record with vital statistics
on Benjamin ALLEN or his ancestors? I believe that this Benjamin ALLEN
is the son of a Robert ALLEN, Sr., (c.1715-1791) of Augusta Co., VA and
his second wife, Martha __?__."
