Additional Comments:
Nazareth Allen was a guard at Andersonville Prison during the Civil War. He 
testified in the infamous trial of Commander Henry Wirz who was the only 
prison commander to be hung after the Civil War was over.  He gave no 
incriminating evidence during his testimony that supported the charges against 
Wirz.  It is unknown who his father was at this time.  It is believed he came 
to Georgia from South Carolina.
