Will of Nicholas Allee.

I have a photocopy of this will from microfilm of the Montgomery County. records. In every case, including the copy of the signature, the name is. spelled ALLEE. For clarity on who Nicholas is or is not, please see the. chapter at the back of ALLEY ANCESTORS discussing Nicholas Allee of. Virginia.

Although there is scant proof, we ALLEE descendants believe him to be of. French Huguenot descent, and to be the son or grandson of yet another. Nicholas ALLEE. There is a very strong oral history in several. widespread branches of the ALLEE family of a French origin.

Also, a few of his descendants did use an ALLEY spelling, so if you're. an ALLEY looking at Nicholas ALLEE, you might actually be on the right. track.

It would seem that Nicholas made a particular effort to have his name spelled ALLEE. Charles Taylor, Clerk who signed the will, recorded a document in 1805 for Thomas Alley, Sr. spelling it ALLEY, which eliminates the possibility that he was in the habit of writing it one way or the other. In 1790, 91, 92 the Montgomery Co. Personal Property Tax Lists spell it ALLEE. ALLEE is also found in other Virginia records.

I have the NSDAR Supporting documents in my files.

The Last Will and Testament of Nicholas ALLEE. 20 May, 1808, Montgomery County, Virginia. Will Book I, Page 347.

In the name of God Amen this twentieth day of May in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight.

Certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate thereof in due form. Teste: Charles Taylor, Clerk.

1767 Pittsylvania Co was established from Halifax, this included the area around Nicholas' Creek. This was probably the jurisdiction for the birthplace of some of the children of his first marriage. Franklin Co est 1785 from Pittsylvania.

Halifax VA voting records before 1764.

Pittsylvania land entries, 1750s area with Jeremiah Stover- see Chiarito.

was the Abraham Alez of Dallas Co AR in 1850 kin to this bunch?. see letters of David Lowry. Morton Alley in Overton Co TN 1801, to Marion Co TN early- see Marion TN records- but Alan has no record of Allee/y family in TN.

In the Montgomery Co VA Tax list for 1790,1791,1792, Nicholas Allee and John Allee are listed. Thus Nicholas Alley was not too far away from Thomas Alley in 1790-1792. In 1785 Nicholas, evidently having recently left Franklin Co. is recorded in Botetourt Co. Because, in 1785-88 most of his older children married in Franklin Co., which is farther away.

These marriage records indicate that Nicholas was living in Franklin Co. there before 1785, even though he owned a lot of land in Montgomery Co. where he died in 1808.

1770 Personal Property Tax Records of Botetourt Co. (probably the same as the later Montgomery Co. land). Lower District of New River : Moses, John & Samuel Kelsey- 1 Titheable each. Nicholas Allee 1 tihe-6slaves namely _ Eamy, Abram, Hanah, Cloe, London and. Absolam 23 cattle and 10 horses.

Henry County Wills, Will Book I (1779-1799), p. 129-30: Joseph Jones. Estate account. Payments made to John Rentfro, Thomas Brandon, Nicholas Alley and others. Approved 28 July 1786. Henry Co. is directly above Franklin Co.

(In 1790, 91, 92 Nicholas Allee and son John are listed in the Montgomery Co. Personal property Tax List. (Saw reference on web. Did not see the list.).

Franklin Co VA records from Anita Hinson: Alee, Keziah, dau of Nicholas, and Daniel C. Robins, Feb 21, 1788. Sur. David Alee. Allie, David and Charity Bybee, Dec 4, 1786. Sur. Nicholas Alley and Thos. Arthur Allie, John and Mildred Lawrence, Jan 1, 1787. Sur. Nicholas Alley. 66. Allie, Wm. and Suckey Bibsy, Nov. 10, 1802. Sur. Sherod Bibry. Alan Sparks corr Dec 1997. From the E. M. Richards book at the Historical Society she give the following as ancestors of Nicholas Allee, born 1735, father of David Allee:

Nicholas Allee, Sr., b. abt.1694. Jean de'Allee, b. abt 1670, France; d. in NY or NJ. States his wife,. Elizabeth Perdineau, b. abt 1672, France; d. 1719, NY. Nicholas de'Alle, b. abt 1640, France; d. abt 1700 prob. in NJ. States his wife, widow Tybout, b. abt. 1640, France; d. prob. abt. 1705, NJ.

I did not copy the documentation she had in the book. So I don't know how. she arrived at these names and dates.

However, if they were in the NY/NJ area as late as 1719, there is a good. chance of them still being there as late as 1726. So, maybe the marriage. record isn't such a stretch???.
