Courtesy of Georgia's Virtual Vault on-line, there are 27 pages copied from his Confederate pension papers for Schley County, GA. He swears he came to Schley County 7th May 1833. [That's his birth date] He says he fought in the Jackson's Brigade of the GA volunteers and was wounded when a cannonball went through his left thigh between the hip and knee. The leg withered and was useless. He received a confederate pension of $50 a year from 1889-1907. [He was in the 1910 census in Ellaville]

Ernie Jones note: [William Allen, of this age, is still living in 1910 in a house on Broad St, with his 30 year old single daughter Dolly, who is listed as assistant postmaster to widowed postmistress Fannie Cheney who is living next door.]

William was county sheriff in the mid-late 1890s.
