Lewis Allen, the son of Rial Allen and Margaret Evins was born 18 June 1813 in Somerset, Pulaski County, Kentucky, in a house made of loge and later clapboarded. It had a window on each side of a large fireplace. It was situated on Fishing Creek about two miles from the home of his grandfather, Samuel Allen. His father built this house on a hill and later decided to move it down by the river and after moving it he sawed the eaves off the house so that the witches would not molest him for it’s removal.
