- Birth Records of Augusta County VA In the "Birth Records of Augusta County, Virginia", a James Allen is found as having (5) children. The children are as follows: 1. Rachel Allen , b. 19 Oct 1740, Augusta Co., VA. 2. Margaret Allen , b. 12 Mar 1742, Augusta Co., VA. 3. James Allen , b. 18 Mar 1744, North Mountain Meeting Hold, Augusta Co., VA; m. to Polly Young . 4. Isabel Allen , b. 20 Apr 1746, Augusta Co., VA. *5. Isabel Allen , b. 20 May 1747, Augusta Co., VA. *Since the name Isabel Allen is used twice, I would assume that the first Isabel, b. 20 Apr 1746, died prior to the birth of the second Isabel in May of 1747. Otherwise the family would have had problems identifying the correct Isabel

I was just figuring that out! This James and Mary are co-mingled with the other! I saw where all the kids were buried and none were in Maine.

The James and Mary Allen buried in Maine are different than the James and Polly Allen in Monroe County West Virginia.
