Biography

From FAG: Permelia "Milly" Lindsey Loving married Thomas Allen in 1796. She was born in 1774 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. I am a direct descendant of her husband Thomas Allen's father, Richard Allen. - information courtesy of Bob McEver.

Mr. Neace wrote of his grandmother Allen, "…many times she has recited to me the depredations upon her people by Tarleton and his men…One of her uncles named Sisk was killed at the battle ofKing's Mountain. Another uncle, Col. Linsy, had one of his hands cut off in a fight with Tarleton's troops. She saw the republic of America firmly established, and lived to see the same country convulsed with one of the greatest civil wars of modern times, and died in 1866 at the ripe age of96 years…" She lies buried at Mount Gilead. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txtarran/military/neace_thomas_allen.pdf - Texas CSA
