s/o ? & Nancy M (Allen) Allen. Married Mary Ann Dunham on Jan 14 1844 in Cole Co MO. His grandparents were Hannah Loving and James Allen.

Thomas Loving Allen was brought to Missouri from Tennessee soon after his birth in 1823.

About 1872, Thomas purchased a farm south of California MO in the Norman school district, remaining there until his death. In 1876 and 1877 he bought additional land from Alfred R Norman.

Thomas is my ggg-grandfather. If you are related, have more info, or have photos of this family, I would love to hear from you!

Rec'd 6/3/2014 from Naomi Emmich:
------------------
Thomas Loving Allen was not a sibling to Christopher Collier Brown. They both had mothers called Nancy Brown, but there were two or more Nancy Browns in Moniteau County.

Thomas Loving Allen's grandparents were Thomas Allen and Permelia Loving. Nancy Brown signed the deed of widow Permelia Allen as some of the family left Moniteau heading to Texas.

Thomas Loving Allen ran chains for the land patent of Nancy Brown in Moniteau County. This was not the land of Christopher Collier Brown.
