There was a William Allen in Surry in the late 1700's that went north into Patrick/Henry Co VA and bought land on the Good Spur.This is who we call William Jr, who was married to Ann or Anna (supposedly Stewart).He had some land dealings with a Scritchfield fellow in Surry NC, and then went into Patrick/Henry and Scritchfield was buying and selling land there too. There was a John Allen in Surry as well.We think this was probably the same John who settled in Mars Hill North Carolina.These Allens were separate from the other Allens in Surry who owned & operated the Iron Works.
