Son of Ezekiel Offerd Collett and Catherine Black.

Allen was working in the fields in Davie County at about the age of 12 when a man driving a horse and carriage asked if he'd like to go for a ride. Allen accepted the offer and the man (in his words) stole him and took him to work as a servant in his home in Rowan County. He had a younger sister named Charity who named her son after him. I have only been able to locate one family member's burial location, his sister Jane
