Thanks to FAG contributor, Susan Grabek, for sharing this excerpt from an Ancestry.com memorial written my John's son, Thomas Richard "Dick" Allen: "My mother was my father's second wife. His first wife was named Suttles. As well as I remember they had six children born to them. Their names were as follows: William, Isaac, James, John, Martha and Sally. My mother was the mother of four children. The first died in infancy, then I came next --- my name Thomas R. Allen --- then Mary Ellis and Lizzie."
