References to Allen's in the George Rogers Clark Papers 1778-1784
Background: These papers have some of the earliest known references to Allen's in Kentucky.
In 1776, George Rogers Clark, already a renowned Indiana fighter, was given responsibility for defending Kentucky, then a county of Virginia, from violent Indian attacks.
This was during the Revolutionary War, and much of the Indian animosity toward Kentucky settlers was instigated by the British out of forts in what are now Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. Clark is especially renowned for taking the British forts at Kaskaskia (southern Illinois) and Vincennes (southern Indiana).
During this time, Clark recruited hundreds of men for his militias. Many men are mentioned, although their locations are not always clear. These papers list a number of Allen's apparently in the early Kentucky area, although some may have been up the Ohio River in western Pennsylvania and northwest Virginia. Some of the soldiers mentioned were no doubt single men, while those mentioned as supplying goods may have been family men.
Fort Patrick Henry/Fort Sackville was located at Vincennes, IN. Fort Nelson was on the north side of the Ohio River across from today's Louisville, KY. Falls of the Ohio was at Louisville, KY. Fort Clark was located at what is now Peoria in central Illinois. Fort Jefferson was located in western Kentucky near Wickliffe. Fort Pitt is now Pittsburgh, PA.
George's Creek is located in western Maryland near Cumberland. Blue Lick refers to what some call the last battle of the Revolutionary War. It was fought August 19, 1782 on the Licking River in northeast Kentucky.
Virginia divided Kentucky County into three counties in 1780: Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln.
