Samuel Allen and Rial Allen by Maud Bliss Allen

SAMUEL ALLEN was born "Under the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains in that"--I am starting this from memory but will refer to grandfather Andrew Jackson's own words in his Journal.  "Andrew J. Allen's grandfather, Samuel Allen was born under the Blue Ridge the side of which is blue in the evening light.  He was born in a wild land, of game, forests, and rushing waters.  Here on the ford of a creek that runs into a roaming river is a cabin that was chinked with red mud.  He came into the world a subject of King George III in that part of the realm know as the province of No Cai, but was of English and Irish descent so far as we have been able to learn."  This is the exact quotation from Andrew Jackson's record.  "My father said his grandfather was of Irish nationality and his grandmother's surnames was ---- Warren.  I did not remember their given names.  From Granddaughter 75 years of age with perfect memory and faculties, Mrs. Eliza Frazure, "I have often heard my father say his grandmother was an Irish woman through and through."

RIAL ALLEN was the third child, second son of Samuel and Nancy (Easter) Allen.  He was born in North Carolina, probably in Orange County as Samuel Allen's war record says he (Samuel) was married in Orange County, N.C., although he enlisted in Bedford Co., Va.  The record of Andrew Jackson Allen, written by himself, says that Rial Allen was born in N.C. in 1791.  It would appear that a son ought to know the year of birth of his father, however, if this is correct, his wife, Margaret Moore Evins was seven years his senior as she was born in 1784 in Knox Co., Tenn., and James Allen his first child was born in 1807.  SO if the date 1791 is correct he certainly married very young, James being born when he was 16 years of age.
