Suggested edit: Regarding the death date of 1777, I am pretty certain that is inaccurate due to land grants in his name after that date. According to the Rootsweb link you have posted on Clifton Allen's memorial, he was still alive in early 1800s, but gone before 1820 census.
Some sites list 1791 as a death date. That too is wrong according to the bio, since he has land grants in his name after that; also was part of a new church forming.
In 18 May 1789 • Caswell, North Carolina, USA Clifton had a 300 acre land grant in Caswell, North Carolina.
"In 1818 Seth MABRY sold land for a new church to be called "Bethpage Methodist Church." CLIFTON ALLEN and family were members of this new church, and his son-in-law, Thomas BROWNING, was one of the Trustees.
In 1811 Clifton received from the State of Tennessee a grant of 50 acres on Brushy Fork Creek "beginning on south boundary of tract where on Clifton ALLEN now lives on the road leading from Richard ALLEN's to John COOPER's." Later that year he received another grant for 228 acres on same creek. In 1817 he purchased from the heirs of Alexander MEBANE a tract of 388 acres, also on Brushy Fork Creek. In 1814 he sold 111 acres of this land to Charles TURNER. The 1816 Tax List shows him with 770 acres on Brushy Fork Creek. In 1817 he sold 100 acres to Andrew WEST. This deed stated "part of tract where on said ALLEN now lives" and this deed was witnessed by two of his grandsons, David ALLEN and Jacob BROWNING. He continued to sell land. In Aug. 1818 he sold to son Richard, 311 acres for $300, this on Brushy Fork Creek, "beginning at Thos. BROWNING's south west corner." On the same day he sold to son, William, 50 acres "beginning at south boundary of where I now live on road leading from Richard ALLEN's to John BARR's," this deed witnessed by William Allen Jr. and Moses JONES. His last sale was to Henry PHELPS for 21 acres on 27 Aug. 1818. He appears on the 1819 tax list with only 60 acres and in 1820 this 60 acres was taxed to Moses JONES. "
The 1820 census lists Susan as a widow with children, so my best guess is he died in 1819 or early 1820 at the latest, since the census is typically done mid-year or so. Contributor: Darlisa Black (48123441) • [email protected]
