John Allen was my great uncle, a brother of my grandmother Dollie (Allen) Bryant. I remember meeting John a time or two in the 1950s when I was a teenager. He frequently came up from Knoxville to Cocke County to rabbit hunt, usually with a son or two.
I don't know much about "Uncle John" or his family. So I'm linking to an online ancestry data sheet, which appears to have correct and basic information. (I visited his grave site June 11, 2013 and took the military plaque photo in the upper right, which is his only grave marker. I welcome additional information and updates.)
Late in life after his first wife Hazel Cooper died, John remarried a woman from, I believe, Grainger County. That may explain why he is buried in Grainger County.
The 1940 federal census indicates the family was living in Knox County. John was 46 and Hazel, 33. Their children were Juanita, 14; John Jr., 12; James, 10; Martha, 5; Mary, 5; George, 4; and Bobby, 1.
