Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: User Home Pages: WILLIAM ALLEN (1711-1799) of Arcola, Virginia


I am the 4th great-grandson of William Allen who first came to America in 1729 and landed at Philadelphia. Before coming to Loudoun County, VA in 1762, William lived northwest of Trenton, in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He later owned Red Hill Plantation in Virginia. My research has rewarded me with the pleasure of locating and visiting William's home on his Red Hill Plantation in Virginia near Arcola (then called Gum Springs). Also, I am blessed with being able to clean, restore and identify the family cemetery located on the plantation. If you have information about any branch of the William Allen tree, I would be pleased to share names, dates and other information with you. God bless! ALLEN FAMILY ITEMS OF INTEREST A. "A Journey to the Past" is an eleven-page booklet with text and color photos, describing the rewarding experience of restoring the Allen family cemetery in 1999. B. "Allen Coat of Arms" in red and silver colors with inscription (Vires Cit Vulnere) on a tan background suitable for framing. This insignia is inscribed on the tomb of Patrick Allen in Ireland. He is the brother of William. C. "Watercolor painting" of William Allen's home on Red Hill Plantation. This beautiful color print by artist Sallie Clay Landham has a seperate calligraphy identification title that you can place below the print. The print size is 15" x 11". You can double-mat it to fit a 20" x 16" frame. Included is a single page history of Red Hill Plantation.	*WILLIAM ALLEN (1711-1799) of Arcola, Virginia* Updated March 19, 2008
