Here is another connection…
I started looking at the Smith Co Tn genweb for Allen family…
I knew that Wm Hunt Allen and Frances Grant had son Grant Allen who went to Smith Co Tn..
found more info though on James T Allen than Grant.
James T Allen married Talitha Cornwell.
James T allens parents are William H Allen and Sarah YANCEY.
Sarah Yanceys parents are TRYON YANCEY AND MARTHA HARRIS.
Wm H Allens parents are Willliam Allen and Susan Howard Allin
and William Allen parents are William Hunt Allen and Frances Grant.
Tryon Yancey and Martha Harris had Sarah..and brother Allen married Elizabeth Lunsford..father Jesse Lunsford and Mother Elizabeth Glenn.
The Smith co Tenn genweb has a lot of information on it..more than many genweb sites. Lots of photos too!

LOL……. Sarah Lunsford is sister of MY John Lunsford m Sarah Ann Davie. Their sister, Polly, married John TAPP. My John and Sarah stayed in Flat River but most of their siblings went to Tn and Ky,……. keep in mind that all these families were already together in King George, Louisa, Acomac cos Va. by 1760.
This is soooo exciting!
So, Elizabeth and Sarah and John Lunsford were all siblings…
And I said Elizabeth Married Allen Yancey, he is Tinsley Allen Yancey..and so Elizabeth and Sarah and John are all children of Tryon Yancey and martha harris.
I wonder what else we will turn up yet!
Sue J:)
Sue….. I grabbed the wrong name out of your post. I didn’t mean Sarah…… meant to say Elizabeth Lunsford was sister to my John. Elizabeth and John are children of Jesse Lunsford and Elizabeth Glenn. Sarah was not their sister. Sorry about that.
Sue,
I saw Tryon in your post’s title and got all excited again! But our Tryon was the Surname of Tryon!:) Love & Light, Lynella.
Lynella,
Tryon doesn’t seem like a common first name…so maybe there could be a connection. Who Knows…I think we will keep finding more and more cuz! Luv ya!

That’s kinda’ what I was thinking! Maybe Yancey Tryon. I have a post on the history forum about Governor Tryon of Virginia. You’d probably have to use the search button though, I think it has moved out of date. I just love this stuff!:D Love Ya’, Lynella.
Many of the given names we are finding WERE earlier surnames. Burwell, Green, Allen, Mann, Radford, Newton, Groves, Howard, …. the list goes on and on. Unusual first names are excellent clues to earlier maternal lines.
