      There was a marriage record in Callaway Co., marriage book for John Allen and Nancy Davis, Feb. 5, 1831. I do not know if this was the John Allen, but it might explain this Mary Davis living in their house, she could be a relative of that Nancy Davis.

      Marriage note:
      From his wife's obituary in 1910;
      She was married again in 1853 to John K. Allen, a justice of the peace, who officiated at her first wedding.
