    LUCIUS L. ALLEN, son of Hudson H. and Nancy (Corneilson) Allen, was born in
Gwinnett County, Ga., June 23, 1831, and was educated at Emory College, that
State. In 1862 he enlisted in Company D, Fifty-first Alabama Cavalry, and with
that command participated in the battles of Murfreesboro, Missionary Ridge,
Knoxville, Chickamauga, and the Atlanta and Dalton campaigns. His father came
into Alabama in 1835, purchased a large tract of government land, and other
lands from the Indians, and became one of the most extensive planters and
slaveholders in his neighborhood.

    Mr. Allen was reared on a farm, and to agriculture has devoted his time and
his talents. He was married, in November, 1854, to Miss Emma Pyles, daughter of
Lewis and Catherine (Perrin) Pyles, and his children are: Susan C. (Mrs.
Hudson), Lelia J. (Mrs. Snow), Nancy Lulu, Lilly A, and Alice C. The family are
all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and Mr. Allen is a Mason.

    The senior Mr. Allen died at his home, near Oxford, January 8, 1869, at the
age of 83 years: his wife died in l869. They reared a family of three sons:
William H., Asa F., and the subject of this sketch. Asa F. is a Baptist
minister, and resides on the old homestead.

    Asa Allen was the name of the grandfather of Lucius L. He married a Miss
Jones in Georgia, whither he had migrated from Virginia at an early day. He
reared a family of four sons and four daughters, and in 1834 or l835 moved to
Limestone County, Ala., where he died in 1840 at the age of 69 years.
