There is a good deal of debate about this facts of this family. Even though we have several documents that seem to lay out a clear lineage what I present here are the few facts that have been the basis for the research of others. Much of this comes from documents that have been recorded in the William and Mary Quarterly of  vol. 22 (1913). Data is also to be found in the Register of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., Va.; Henry T. Allen, "Allen," Register of the Kentucky Historical Society 28 (1930), pp. 71-88; Norma Carter Miller and George Lane Miller, Allens of the Southern States (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, 1989), p. 10; and in Boddie, Historical Southern Families, vol. III. See also, Mrs. William Breckenridge Ardery, "Allen Family," from the series Early Bourbon Families published in a Bourbon Co., KY, newspaper, 1945.
