Biography
Charles Allen Sr. was a Virginia colonist.
Charles was born between 1709 and 1719, probably in Lunenburg County, Virginia Colony. DNA testing is available for male line descendants to attempt to connect him with the rest of his family. The Administrators of the Allen DNA Group Project think that his line will fall within "I subgroup a" grouping of the Allen DNA Group Project. Could he be I-FT18829? Only testing will tell.

Research Notes
Three Different Charles Allen's in Virginia?
From Edward Pleasants Valentine Papers, there appear to be three Charles Allens in Virginia at around the same time - one in Henrico County (p.21), This one, in Lunenburg (p. 73) and a third in Cumberland County (p. 1844).[2]
Marriage Is Not to Jane Ashwell, Record for 1838 not 1738
This Charles Allen, born 1709-1719 can not be the same Charles R. Allen who married Jane Ashwell. The record for that marriage is dated 1838. Certainly misattributed. This Charles is not Charles R. - attributed from the wrong marriage record. Going to remove Jane Aswell as wife and "R." for middle initial.[3]
This record goes with a Charles Allen a century later. Charles Allen "Dec. 24, 1838; Charles R. Allen & 'Sarah Jane Ashwell, dt Thomas; John Payne, Surety; Married by John Ayers, Dec. 26, 1838."[1]
Grand Daughter Susanah
His Will mentions a granddaughter Susannh - is this Charles Allen, Jr.s daughter?
