Richard Wesley Allen (1821 - 1898), son of Thomas and Mary Cole Allen of Oak 
Bowery, was a prominent merchant in the early days of LaFayette.  In 1860, he 
married Elizabeth H. Wheat (1824 - 1888), daughter of Moses and Artemesia 
Jemison Wheat.
 
R. W. Allen served in the Confederate Army during the War Between the States as 
1st. Lt. in Company "F" 61st AL Inf. Reg.

old house burned in 1919.
