Richard Allen, a resident of Wilkes Co., NC on 4 Sept 1832 29 Oct. 1784, Deed Book B1 pages 349/50: Thomas Robins to Richard Allen, 130 Pds 157 ac Bugaboo Ck.,Pine marked in presence of John Talifero; upper part 314 ac trace ent. by Jonathan Stamper, incl. impvt where Stamper formerly dwelt. Witts: John Brown, Benjamin Herndon, James Fletcher. s/Thomas Robins 1787 Tax List Wilkes Co., NC Captain Carrel's District Name No. Acres No. Polls Allen, Richard 3300 1 550 acres on New River Captain A. Gordon's District Name No. Acres No. Polls Allen, William 190 1 Captain Trible's District Allen, Samuel 640 1 Allen, William - 1 Captain Isbell's District Name No. Acres No. Polls Allen, Annanias 150 1 (still in Wilkes Co,, 1850) We recently learned that Ananias was married to Elizabeth Laxton, a sister of Levi Laxton. Another possibility is that Joseph Grayson of Rutherford Co., NC and Benjamin Grayson of Wilkes Co., NC may have been brothers. Joseph, who was born in approximately 1754, entered 100 acres of land in Burke Co., NC on the Little Broad River on December 31, 1778. This land was issued on October 28, 1782. Benjamin entered his land grant on Kings Creek in 1779, which was, then on the border between Wilkes Co., NC and Burke Co., NC. These two properties are approximately sixty miles apart. However, it has previously been overlooked that in March of 1779 a Benjamin Grason purchased 100 acres on Lower Creek next to Sam Allen (a possible relative of Aranias Allen of Kings Creek!?) In Burke Co., NC. This property is much nearer Joseph�s property. Joseph�s descendants also believe he was from Virginia. His children were Benjamin, Joseph, Susanah, Issac and William. In addition, he also apparently had a sister (or daughter?), Elizabeth, who married William Franklin Whitesides, son of Davis Whitesides of Goochland Co., VA. The name Benjamin is prominent in Joseph�s line and as in the Wilkes line the name Ambrose is never seen. The occurrence of the name Joseph in both lines is rather unique as the earliest known Joseph in Virginia was born in 1784. The similarity of names and the proximity of arrival in both time and location argue strongly for kinship between Joseph of Rutherford Co., NC and Benjamin of Wilkes Co., NC. 21 Aug. 1784.
