And, you guessed it, James Allen is another of my DAR-approved patriots. James Allen was a Captain in the militia in 1756 and participated in the Battle of Point Pleasant. Also, as a member of the Augusta County militia, James Allen signed a petition in 1776 supporting independence and the actions of Virginia's General Assembly.
James Allen was a member of the Augusta Stone Church in Augusta County for 64 years. And he was 94 years old when he died in 1810. Margaret lived to be about 75 years old. James & Margaret Allen had 14 children, one of whom was Rebecca Allen, my 4th great-grandmother.
