  • Notes 
    • Joseph Allen was born just before 1765, probably in Virginia. He received a Military Land Warrant #848 for three years' service in the Virginia line on 17 June 1783. He is listed as serving in the 2nd Virginia Brigade or State Line, Colonel Marshall's Artillery Regiment.
      What is now Kentucky was previously part of the state of Virginia. In December 1776 Kentucky Co., Virginia was created. In 1780 it was divided into Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties. In 1785, Bourbon County was created from Fayette County and Joseph appears on 19 Sep 1787 (?) as a signer of a petition to the state of Virginia to create Bourbon County. Mason County was formed from Bourbon County in 1788 and finally in 1798 Fleming County was formed from Mason County. Joseph Allen had lived in four counties without moving.

      Joseph Allen appears on the list for Central Kentucky Militia in 1786 in Captain Cave Johnson's Company along with a William Walker and Henry Chandler

      On 3 Sep 1788 Joseph Allen married Dorothy Walker in Bourbon Co., Kentucky. Thought Dorothy was listed as "of age" her guardians were George and Eliza? Elijah Wood.

      On 21 Aug 1790, Joseph Allen appears as the only Allen in the 1790 Kentucky Tax List.

      On 27 August 1793 Joseph Allen purchased lot #42 in the town of Washington, Mason Co., Kentucky from William Wood and Arthur Fox and their wives. This town was developed as a possible capitol city for Kentucky. Joseph is listed there in the census as a blue dyer by occupation.

      Joseph and Dorothy Allen were the parents of at least nine children-five girls and four boys. Daughters were Nancy m. Nathaniel Chandler, Mariah m. Nathaniel Chandler (after death of her sister), Margaret m. William McCord Sr., and Elizabeth who married Thomas Owen Caywood. Sons were James F. Allen who married Mary Hyzer, Joseph, Henry L. Allen who married Elizabeth Sullivan and William H Allen who married Eliza Reader. Many descendants of this family moved into Daviess County, Indiana.

      In 1793 Joseph Allen was appointed in Mason County as a trustee for land and boundary formation.
      Joseph Allen appears in the 1800 census of Kentucky in Mason County. Other Allens in that county were Adam, Barnabas, Hugh, and William. A Robert Allen appeared in Fleming Co. Joseph Allen appears in the 1810 Census of Mason County, Kentucky (with four male children and five female children in addition to himself and Elizabeth, his wife). Joseph Allen appears in the 1820 census of Fleming Co, Kentucky with one male 45+, a female 26-45, a female 16-26, and one male and one female 0-10.

      Shortly after, Joseph Allen died 24 September 1822 in Fleming County, Kentucky. His estate bill of sale named William Mc Cord, Sr. as the administrator. Among those purchasing items at the sale were: Benjamin Allen, William Frealts, Nathaniel Chandler, William McCord, John McCord, Jr., Thomas Caywood, Thomas McCarty, Joseph Thomson, William McCord Sr., John McCord, Jesse Hickman, James McCord Jr., James McCord, and Erasmus Caywood.
      Items found in the sale included ten books, a Bible, a razor and razor strap, a set of weights, a sifter, two candlesticks, two smoothing irons, a sprouting hoe, a shovel, a coffee mill,a pair of knives and forks, two hoes, a keg, an ink stand, two buckets, a teakettle, a pair of snuffers, a big wheel, a bell, three bedstands, a blanket, a hackel, six chairs, a chest, two big kettles, a pot, a tub, a big coat, a coat, two pair pantaloons, a hat, a pair of shoes, a table, a candlestand, two washing tubs, a pair of specks, a howel, thirteen big spools and Chandler's note worth $733. One wonders what his widow used to live with after he died! However, the number of books and writing tools indicate literacy.
