Crumpton's Vol I only lists Elisha as a Rev War soldier. No other info is printed. Also says that this came from DAR and other records.
Crumpton's 1987 grave inventory does not indicate Elisha. All of the RS graves that I am familiar with in that area are on private land in small family plots and not church cemeteries. Look for land deeds and find where he lived. A family plot on that land will be the most probable location.
The Probate
Court should be the place to find "Inventoried & Appraisals 1823-1830". Elisha's estate is memtioned first on 6JAN1825 and a year later when it sold. The location may be there.
First mention I find of Elisha Allen's death is on 8NOV1824. Minutes of the
Court of Ordinary 1817-1827 and Ordinary Returns 1803-1833.
Several Allen's attended
Oak Spring Academy in 1859 according to Crumpton's records copied from the "Poor School Fund" page 50, including Wm. H., Thomas U., GS, Jr., Benjamin, Elizabeth C., Lucelia, Martha S. while Elisha was the teacher. This name confuses me since
Oak GROVE Academy was located on the road that ran south from Double
Wells. That is the area where I expect the Allen's to have lived. Double
Wells was a stage coach station and when the railroad built a depot less than a mile away, the area became know as
Barnett. I've never heard of
Oak SPRING Academy.
Jury records from 1876 put Elisha in District 159. This was known as the Redlick District before it was numbered. From what I have learned, it extends from the
Barnett area south toward
Mayfield along the Ogeechee River.
Marriage records indicate an Elisha Allen and Mary A. Beckwith were married 30MAR1837.
