Cindy, Allen Thacker was my gggg-grandfather. I've just started my research and so if you have any information that you could share, I would really appreciate it. My g-grandma was Bessie Thacker (whom I grew up knowing and attended her funeral in 1986), daughter of Martin VanBuren Thacker, Jr., son of MVB Thacker, Sr, son of Allen Thacker. I've just recently found out most of this on this site from someone else, but if I can share anything with you, let me know. Gina.
