Saj told me we were definitely descended from John Goode and Ann Bennett.

We were related thru the Howard/Allen family lines. We had other common relations else wheres but most weere not actually blood. She also, told me we were Pocahontas decendants by blood.

This ALLEN family had strong ties to the Methodist Church. I’m not certain if they were Indian, but they are so connected to Indian families I thought I’d see if they connect to anyone else.

Joseph married Oney SHANKLE, daughter of George SHANKLE and Oney LEDBETTER. Oney LEDBETTER’s mother was Tabitha CHAVIS. I found an old newspaper article from Stanly Co, NC which described Joseph ALLEN’s wife as a “Turk”. I believe this was because her grandmother was a CHAVIS. The LEDBETTERs heavily married into the CHAVIS family.

Is anyone kin to my Joseph ALLEN? Or know anything about a George ALLEN from VA?

I may be responding to a family member I am friends with on Facebook re your name (Lee) but every name that you just mentioned is my family as well. I am afraid I don’t have much more information then you would have.. Only information acquired through this site and my research through ancestry. Com.
