Benjamin Allan, VA & Kentucky
I am looking for descendants of Benjamin Allan, born 1786 in Culpepper, VA - married Elizabeth Clore in Jefferson Co., KY in 1812. Benjamin and Elizabeth had the following children in Oldham Cty, KY:
William Kellar Allan -8 July 1812
James Glendenning Allan -6 Jan 1815
John Taylor Allan -11 Feb 1816
George Waller Allan -6 Jan 1818<= my ggg-grandfather
Rebecca Ann Allan -5 Nov 1819
Benjamin was a Baptist minister in Kentucky. His son George migrated to Vigo County, Indiana in 1832 where he too became a Baptist minister. He married Eliza Anderson in 1848. They had 6 children: Rebecca Ann, James Benjamin, William Thomas, Henry Franklin, Charles Edward and Jesse Pearl (Pearly). The boys all married and stayed in either Farmersburg, Sullivan County, Indiana or Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana.
Am looking to correspond with anyone with more information about Benjamin's ancestry. It is said that his father was James Allan who came to Virginia from Scotland, I would be particularly interested in hearing from anyone who can verify this for me.
