Joseph Allen, NC Regulator Petitioner, 1769
Joseph Allen signed the Regulators Petition in Orange County, NC in 1769.I am trying to determine which Orange County Allen line this particular Joseph Allen belongs with.I am also looking at an Allen line that prior to 1776 located in that part of NC that later became the state of TN, as some of the NC Regulators are known to have done.By two accounts my ancestor James Allen was born in TN in 1776, or 20 years before TN statehood.Any suggestions from anyone with experience researching inTN during the pre-statehood period are invited.
