Ann Guthrie's Genealogy:Information about Agness Allen
Agness Allen (b. 15 May 1755, d. 04 November 1837)
Notes for Agness Allen:
3-15-97
Notes: After Searching for clues on Agness' parentage at the FHL in SLC, I have been unable to make a determination. The following information was collected from the wills of 3 individuals which seem to have a Foster-Allen Connection. Additional clues are required to link them to Agness Allen.
Source: Will Abstract of John Thompson, Rowan County, NC; 1774
John Thompson lists wife as Martha__________(a widow)
AGNESS ALLEN is listed as his stepdaughter.
Hugh Allen is listed as a witness
[This is most likely our Agness, but we have no definite connection to the Foster family in this will. For now, I am listing Martha as Agness' mother and John as her stepfather. If John was this Agness' stepfather, the Hugh Allen listed could not be her father. He could have been a brother, uncle or cousin.]
Soruce: Will Abstract of Joseph McConneghey, Rowan County, NC; 1785
Joseph McConneghey lists wife Martha________
