Biography

About 1720, Mary married Reuben Allen in Maryland. Their children were:

Mary Allen Moore about 1720 – after 1790

Reuben Allen Jr 1721 – May 1751

Deborah A. Allen Rambo 1727–1785

Jackson Joseph Allen 14 February 1729 – 30 August 1786

Joseph Allen about 1730 – 8 May 1805

William Allen 1731–1849

Margaret Allen Bond about 1734–1800

A property deed dated January 16, 1720/21 stated that Reuben's wife was named Mary. This deed conveyed Reuben’s 1/12th interest in his half-brother, Josiah’s, land to Benjamin Wilber after Josiah’s death. Five years later, in June of 1726, Reuben sold his Cecil County, Maryland property to Herman Hinkey.

In 1734, Reuben and Mary moved into Virginia, settling near Mt. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. Seven years later, in 1741, Reuben passed away. He died intestate while still residing near Mt. Jackson in what was then Orange County, but is now Shenandoah County, Virginia. Mary, on the other hand, died in Orange County, Virginia in 1751.
