·
the Campbell men
were known to be of Beverly tract – William and Mary Allison Campbell with
uncles Alexander and Robert to Holsten circa 1770 then to Washington County, NC
circa 1779 then to Fayette County, KY circa 1784. This all done with John and Charles Allison
in 1771 Botetourt Co tax – John Allison and son William, Charles Allison, and
Robert, Alexander, and William Campbell
·
the selling of
North Branch land in 1770 appear to show John Allison the elder did make this
move…John sold land then moved to Botetourt?
·
OR DID IT? John
Allison followed with this group and his will in 1791 KY reveals a wife
Isabella and children Halbert, Sarah, and Isabella. This would show that the John could have been
John, son of Robert…because John, son of Robert was with his brother In
Botetourt but then disappeared after 1770 while the other brothers stayed
there. Since Charles was in the area and
John, son of Robert, possibly yearning for adventure, tagged along with his
cousin
·
John Allison in
1771 tax record has old son William, this could be Robert Allison’s grandson but
John would have had to have been born about 1733 to have a son William as a
1771 titheable (seems like a problem)
·
However, a John
Allison died in Woodford Co KY in 1791 and researchers believe it is the same
that traveled with Charles. But, John
Allison of Middle River, the son of the original John Allison, moved to
Kentucky about this time…
·
Could be that
John Allison of Shenandoah was actually son of Robert, and made the move to KY
in 1791 and died. That would free up the
older John Allison to have followed with his son…
·
But John Allison
the elder was in the fee records and was noted in those records the same way
(the men in these records were documented to have retained a specific
designation to differentiate them from others of the same name) as “living on
Borden land” from 1761 to 1780 (the John and Charles Allison were in NC in
1779)
·
My first option,
the John Allison that went with Charles Allison was his cousin, the son of Robert. This John Allison was the same that died in
1791 in KY and had a wife Isabella and child Halbert.
·
My next option,
if the first proves to be incorrect, is that the John Allison that went with
Charles was the John, illegitimate son of Martha, born 1746
·
Next was that it
was John brother of Charles and the John in Shenandoah was either John son of
Robert or John son of Martha
w=son Andrew Allison, James Kerr, John Kerr (census) – must be Shenandoah
River
x=Thomas Caul, William Hinds,
Joseph Moore (signer)
y=Edward Rutledge, James Agnew, Thomas Carel (buys land) (this is John
Allison Jr) – must be on Shenandoah River
y=(census) (this is John
Allison Jr)
John and Jean/Janet Byers – John Allison (ca1705-c1756/59) – appears lived on 291 acres on North Branch then
bought 195 acres on Mill Creek before died, sold the 291 acres.
John Sr and Lucy Kerr/– Middle Shenandoah River – to KY 1792
John and Janet - North Branch of James River
John Jr and Lucy Rutledge – (c1756-?), son of John Allison Sr. and Lucy
Kerr
John Allison – Cedar Creek and Forks of James, Tinker Creek
John and Charles connection – brothers or cousins Mill Creek at North
Branch of James River – must be son of John since started this 1754
There was a John Allison born
1746 illegitimate to Martha Allison that would have been in the North Branch
area, would have been 21 in 1767 (his mother moved to KY in early 1780s
If the John that was with
Charles in 1771 and 1773 was a father-son, then it appears John moved
south.
BIGGEST QUESTION – WHO WAS
THE WIDOW ALLISON OF 1759 and 1760?
Could a John Allison have
come to North Branch early then died around 1755 – widow Allison
Children Robert and John
Allison – problem – still 3 John Allisons
Middle River
William Allison son of John
Allison Sr of Middle River
John Allison Jr son of John
Allison Sr of Middle River
John Allison Sr
(c1734->1792KY) married Lucy Kerr (c1736)
Lucy Kerr was sister of
William Kerr
Lucy Kerr was daughter of
John Kerr
Lucy Kerr sister Elizabeth
Kerr married ? McClure
William Allison (c1765)
married Jean Young 1789
John Allison Jr (c1756)
married Lucy Rutledge (c1756-1792) married 1776 – children John and James by
1787
