Dear Folks,

Bill Page recently asked about an ALLEN family of North Carolina.
Just for the heck of it, I checked his ALLENS against mine, and sure
enough, no connection.  But, I got to thinking that I have probably
seen more ALLENS on this list than I have Smiths or Johnsons.  So, on
the off chance that someone out there might have one of my ALLENS in
their tree, here 'tis:

(Lexavella ALLEN is my g.g.grandmother)
