Martin and his father moved from Campbell County , KY. around 1808 to Louisana.
He was married to Elizabeth Vice and had three children, Miles N. , Anna Catherine, and Mary G. Upon reaching a settlement in Louisana,
which was later renamed Allen's settlement. He and Elizabeth had James Bud, Elizabeth ,Martin Jackson , Nancy, Saraha, and Benjamin John, and Carolina Eliza Matild In
1809 , Martin and his father and their families led a colony of settlers from Kentucky to the coast of ''Louisiana, then called Attakapas Parish, Now St. Marys. The
Allens moved further inland to Natchitoches Parish and founded what was then know a Allen's Settlement. Later the name was shortened to Allen. La. It is located not far
from the town of Natchitoches. When the "republican Army of the North" was defeated at Medina River in Texas. Martin Allen returned to Allen's Settlement in
Louisana to care for his family and step-mother , Sarah. There are various documents in Natchitoches Parish concerning Sarah after her husband's death. In February of
1822, she bought a slave and child from James W. Allen; October of 1822 she recorded a will in which the two slaves were to be freed upon her death. Then in February of
1823 Sarah mortgaged the two slaves for a debt of $100. Mary Ann Allen the widow of Hiram, Married Dury Thompson in St. Parish in 1814. In 1820 , Moses Austin obtained
permission from the Spanish government, to establish a colony of settlers from the United States on Spanish soil in the Provence of Tejas. Returning to Missouri, Moses
Austin became ill and died. His deathbed wish was that his son , Stephen F. Austin, carry through with his plans for a colony. In August of 1821 ,Stephen Austin returned
to San Antonio to finalize the agreement with Governor Martinez to bring 300 families to Tajas. These 300 Families, know as "The OLD THREE HUNDRED" are
considered the founders of Texas. The next year in 1822, Martin Allen began preparation to fulfill his dream of moving to Texas. Martin began the move on his own before
applying to Austin. Throughout the "Austin Papers" are letters from Martin Allen to Austin. These letters have provided a wealth of information on Austin's
Colony and the Allen family's move to Texas. We know it took three years for Martin to finalize the move. In 1822 he was 42 years old , and Mary was 38 and the mother of
eight children. Their ages ranged from 16 to a baby of less than a year old. In the 1826 Census of Texas we can only account for seven children, Three boys and four
girls. It is possible the one boy died or stayed in Louisiana. TX+index+711170730+F at searches.rootweb.com source for following information

The following is a letter in the "Austin Papers" to Stephen F. Austin. State of Louisiana Parrish of Natchitoches Allen's
Settlement 24th March 1822
Judge Austin Sir I must troble you with a few lines without having the pleasure of a personal acquainta(n)ce with you--- I am one of the
first men to make A Settlement on the Collarado, I have built a cabbin made some inprovements planted a gardian etc which agreeable to your termes I concidered would be
respected as an actual settler until the first Day of January next provide I am on it with my family by that time. Some men in this Country have asserted that I have
Declined moving to the Country, which is not the Case I intend to move as soon as I can and encourage the immigration all I Can an Do Justice to myself, now sir if my
Claime will be good to the place that I have improved on the Collorado if you will be so good as to write me a line you will oblige me very much...mine is the first

Judge Cummins or any safe hand you will much oblige me You may return me as an actual settler to the Government I have a Wife and eight Children four sons and four
Daughters Martin Allen (Rubic) The property he chose was on Peach Creek near the present Town of Warton Co. TX. At the time it was in Matagorda County. This original
grant is commonly referred to as Martin Allen Survey # 1 , Wharton County, Granted 19th July 1824. It is a sitio of land or league ( about 444 acres). From a letter
written the 25th of July 1824 at the home of his daughter Anna and her husband James Lynch in Texas, we know that Martin had not received word that his title to his
league at Peach Creek was granted. He makes plain his desire to live in Texas and acquire as much land as possible. At Jas Lynches July 25 Th 1824 Col. Austin Sir It was
with much Pleasure that I received the few lines from you by hand of Mr. Lynch- respecting my land you wrote that there is a good League on the St Bernard that I can get
should it suit me, I make not the smallest Doubt of its suiting me-- You say it is a good League which is suffcient proof for me-- in fact I leave it intirely with
yourself to enter my League and you make out my deed and give it to Mr. Lynch or keep it yourself until I return whichever you may think best-- I am entirely willing to
submit to the rules and regulations that you may make with the first settlers,-- if you will give my deeds to Mr, Lynch you can hold this Letter which will be the same as
my obligation-- I can pay you two hundred Dollars or perhaps more this winter in good proiperty if requested, in fact my will is to oblige you at any time which when in
my power. I shall return home in a few days in the Highest spirits and will return with my family this fall if life lasts. Now Sir if my League is allready surveyed as I
have to draw Land for my eldest son in my own name there is one or two young men who will come on with me that will attach themselves to my family-- If I am intitled to
any more land besides my League and my Labbour by the size of my family or for building a mill, I will take it on the Creek that is Called Seeder Creek at the first main
fork above Simon Millers tract which is at a place by the Board Camp. Sir if you think propper to give me a grant agreeable to the rules authorized by the government for
building a mill I will obligate myself to build a good mill. The place that I have Described I located in December 1821 which if I can shall yet get? I located it for the
purpose of building a mill it will not interfer with any settler- bur if it interfere with any arrangement allready made I will take it at the second crossing of the
second fork of the Navisota on the Labberdee road Commencing at the road and running Down for quantity this would be Covenient to the Millikins settlement if you think
proper to grant this petition you will please inform Mr. Lynch and he will attend to the Surveying etc I hope Sir you wil excuse my troubling you so much at so busy a
moment of your Business-- And receive the best wishes of your most obd. Friend and well wisher Martin C. Allen (Rubric)
This short undated note is also preserved in Austin's Papers.Martin Allen was born November 28, 1780. His exact birth place is unknown. He
married Elizabeth Vice (Vise), on September 27, 1804.
Martin volunteered in the Republican Army to go to Texas and fight against the Spanish in 1812. He is seen next in Southwest Arkansas
Territory in 1817. From there they moved to Louisiana, now Clairborne Parish. This is where he joined Stephen F. Austin's First Colony. In March of 1822, he was one of
the first settlers on the Colorado, near Peach Creek. He asked for approval of his land title, stating that he had a wife and eight children, four boys and four girls. He
returned to the United States to get his family, but found his wife too ill to travel. He sent his two sons, Miles N. and James (Bud), back to Texas to plant a crop and
drive the cattle back.
Martin arrived back in Texas after May and before the 1826 census, with his wife and other children. He had been granted his land in 1824.
It was in what is now Wharton County.
In 1830, Martin was granted the right to operate a ferry across Buffalo Bayou, opposite Harrisburg.
The Allen home was at Eight Mile Point, named so because it was eight miles from San Felipe. Martin Allen died there and it is believed
that both he and Elizabeth are buried in the family cemetary back of the old home place. Although there are no longer markers to prove it.
At the time of Martin Allen's death, he had no will. His estate was divided by the court. It consisted of 8600 acres of land, farming
equipment, animals, wagons and slaves. It was divided between Elizabeth and the surviving children Petition of Martin Allen

Notes for ELIZABETH MILES ALLEN:
SHOWN AS E. I. MCALLEN IN THE MARRIAGE RECORDS
Notes for WILLIAM E. JOHNSTON:
W. E. JOHNSON m. ELIZABETH MCALLEN C69 1-31-1853
One correction from typed Index of Austin Co. Index has.. William Johnston or Johnson..
(not sure if the "t" was left out many times it is) marrying Eliza McAllen.. the marriage record is plainly.. William Johnston marrying Eliza M. Allen... Eliza
M. Allen was daughter of Miles Allen son of Martin Allen- one of the Old 300. Her full name is Eliza Miles Allen, she was born abt 6 months after Miles died...
If you could put a note or something it would help. I spent many hours and many dollars
looking for a McAllen family!!
