This is a long one folks, but worth reading if it can produce more family connections. Use the FIND feature of your browser to look for key words. Generation numbers are included to help sort out children in case the formatting gets funky in the transfer. Thanks!

==============
1-Allen MARTIN was born about 1800 in GA and died about 1879 in Bartow Co., GA.
General Notes: Per Sara Elsberry:
Living in this household in Aug, 1850 was William Parrish, 20, male, SC, Blacksmith. Perhaps a nephew of Allen??
Drew land in Walker Co., 1832 Lottery. Shown as being from Gwinnett County. Mother [Brenda's Note: Effie Mae Underwood] said Emma was the middle child with 7 older, 7 younger making a total of 15 children. She recalled the names Grover and Dewitt. She said Grover might have been a nephew. Dock may be a nickname for Dewitt. [Brenda's note: May also be Murdock]
Linda Trentham has b. date of Allen as 1792, GA. Where did she get this?
General Notes: Per Brenda Hawkins:
Several sources suggest that Allen’s father’s name was John Martin and that he married a “Miss Allen”, whose full name might be Mary Allen. [Have not been able to verify this at all, but still working on it.] Other sources recall family history that Allen might have been born in or near the Athens, GA area in Oglethorpe Co.
Per Sara Elsberry:
Nickname for Allen as "Rocky". [Brenda's note: Unable to determine source for this.]
Allen married Mary Ann "Polly" TUMLIN, daughter of William TUMLIN and Rebecca Agnes CARLISLE, about 1828 in GA. (Mary Ann "Polly" TUMLIN was born about 1806 in Abbeville Co., SC and died on 12 Sep 1887.)
