Robert Allen
April 15, 1803 - April 1, 1843
On March 13, 1823 Robert Allen, a Kentucky native, married Miss Susannah "Susan" Calcote, a daughter of John Calcote, Sr. They were married in Franklin County, Mississippi by James Calcote, Justice of the Peace. John Calcote, Sr., a native of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, was a very early settler of Franklin County, Mississippi.
Robert and Susan (Calcote) Allen were the parents of at least seven children:
Eugenia Allen, died before 1852
Dicy Allen, 1827-1851, was the wife of J. F. Vance, publisher/editor of The Copiahan newspaper.
Susan Allen, born in 1825, married Daniel K. Coor in 1847.
William H. Allen, born in 1829, married Mary Jane McRae. Mary Jane died in 1859 and is buried in the Robert Allen Family Cemetery.
Stephen J. Allen, Jr. was named for his uncle, Stephen J. Allen. Stephen J. Allen, Jr. was born on August 7, 1832 and died April 5, 1896.
Washington C. Allen, became a medical doctor, and died unmarried about December 23, 1859.
Robert K. Allen was born about 1836 and died before 1862.
After the death of Robert Allen, his widow Susan married John C. Morton. John C. Morton died in December 1862. Susannah (Calcote) Allen Morton died the 2nd of December, 1869. At her death she was survived by two of her seven children: Susan Coor and Stephen J. Allen; as well as three grandchildren: Robert J. Allen, William L. Allen and Eliza E. Allen.
The Robert Allen Family Cemetery - almost completely destroyed by the ravages of time - was copied by me in the summer of 1987. At that time it was on property owned by Theron and Ilene Carraway in Section 11, Township 2 North, Range 4 West. Cattle were grazing and walking over the graves.
This is Stephen J. Allen, Jr., a son of Robert and Susan Allen, and named for his father's brother, Stephen J. Allen, Sr. Stephen J. Allen, Jr. first married Margaret M. Fulgham, and after her death, married Mrs. Nancy E. Brown.
