Elizabeth Allen was mentioned in the 22 September 1800 will of her father Thomas Allen. [Essex County, Virginia, Will Book 16, pages 49–50.]
On 23 April 1844, orators Reubin M. Garnett executor of Reubin Garnett deceased, Edward M. Ware adminstrator de bonis non with the will annexed of Joseph Janey deceased andJones C. Clopton late sherriff of Essex County and committee administrator de bonis non of the Estate of Thomas Wood deceased, on behalf of themselves and all other creditors of John Allen deceased, complained that Reubin Garnett deceased recovered of one John Allen since deceased £27.7.9 with interest and that one Thomas Evans Junr also recovered against John Allen £31.29 and that one Thomas Wood the intestate of your orator Jones C. Clopton also recovered against John Allen £26.13.4. All these debts were unpaid, and John Allen died many years ago not possessed of property of any kind except an interest he was entitled to under the will of his father Thomas Allen. John Allen’s estate was committed to the administration of Richard Rouzee then Sheriff of Essex County. Thomas Allen died sometime in the latter part of the year 1800. He left a widow Elizabeth B. Allen and ten children viz Elizabeth, John, Banks, Barbara, Polly, Lucy, Thomas, Addisson, Caty B., and John Allen. Elizabeth and John Allen both died intestate and without issue, Elizabeth in 1806 and John in 1809. Since John survived his sister he was entitled to a share of her estate. Lucy intermarried with William Banks. Polly Allen intermarried with James Owen. Lucy Banks died about 1815 leaving children Elizabeth A. the wife of James Durham, Lucy C. the wife of John L. Eubank, Thomas A. and James W. Banks. The interest held by James W. Banks was sold to Achilles Lumpkin. Thomas the son of Thomas Allen died in 1822 leaving a last will and testament. Caty B. Allen died in 1839 leaving a last will and testament. The interest of Polly Owen has been transferred and is now held by William A. Wright trustee for Mary C., Cordelia A. and Willy B. Owen. This document continues at length with various assignments of interest. [Essex County, Virginia, Box Chancery No. 52, item 52-J-35/36.]
