New Garden Meeting Minutes – Revolutionary War

1 Response

  1. I’ve been looking for a page like this for several years. My g’ma, Mattie Allen Childers was the descendent of the Allens, Scarlets, Carpenters, and Husbands of New Market, via London Grove, PA. I’m looking for more information on the families, as they were quite a colorful bunch. Husband was famous, but didn’t fight. James and John Allen, carpenters and furniture makers, help build the Meeting Hall at New Market as did their forbears. Their log cabins are used as models in the State Park. Their furniture is championed . They fought in the Rev War, and then against the govt, in the Whiskey Tax Rebellion. They received land in Tennessee, near the Cumberland Gap-Walker Ridge, where G’ma grew up in the late 1800’s. They married into a band of Cherokees who refused to be kicked out of their mountains, 1828.
