NOTES from the research of Douglas Allen, who has graciously shared his findings on WorldConnect, "18th Century Families" and in his book, "Reconstructing William Allen (1711-1799), Lulu Press, Morrisville, NC, 2010 and revised 2017.

"There is a conflict in the sources on David's place in the family. According to one, David and Joseph were "the youngest two" of the five sons. According to others, David was born in 1745 and was the oldest of the children born to William's second wife, Jane Warford. The will of son William (who died in the Revolutionary War) gives indirect support to the earlier birthdate in that he provided for Joseph (his younger brother) but not for David, who, if he was older, would have already been well established and not in need of any property of William's. In addition, David's first marriage date was 1779 - not likely if he was close to Joseph in age.

David's first marriage was to a cousin, Ivea Fox. His second wife was the sister of Fanny Wright who married David's brother Joseph.

Minimal data on David's wives and children is in an 1895 letter from J. F. Lander, one of Joseph's grandsons. Lander's final comment on them: "They all raised families, so you see how extensive the kin. Some in Kentucky, some in Indiana, some in Missouri, some in Illinois, some in Iowa and I don't know where else. ."

More info on David's children is on the web.

David was on the Hampshire Co. Heads of Families list in 1782 and 1784. In 1782, there were four whites in the household: him, Ivea, and two kids: Margaret and William. In 1784, there were five. Presumably, son John was the addition.

David moved to Bourbon County, KY, in the years after 1800. He sold his Hampshire Co. land in 1804. There are many deeds in the Bourbon Co. records with his name and those of his sons."
