Loretta,
I know my Great Aunt has told me that it has been said her husbands Allen family was of Indian descent. Possibly on both sides of the family.
John Allen was born June 4, 1865, Virginia
He married a Rachel R. Miller, d/o Jackson Miller. Rachel was born 1870 Kentucky.
Known children:
John, Rachael, Andy, Lewis, Dorothy, John A., Cecil and Myrtle.
Please let me know if this info fits in with your family tree.
Thanks for getting back w/me
