LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Allen marker:
                  1936 July 20
                  Research made by Charles J. Ellison

Cemetery Location:  In the suburb of East Waynesboro, Va., known as Winchester 
                    Heights.
                    Augusta County




All of the markers on the five Allen graves found in Winchester Heights, East 
Waynesboro, Virginia, have been destroyed with the exception of one.  The 
illiteracy of the stone cutter is very evident on this sand stone marker.

In tracing the former ownership of this property we find that the ground was 
first owned by Montague Allen then sold to Robert Allen, Sr., then sold to John 
Guthrie, then to H.L. Gallaher.  Deed books show us that Robert Allen, Jr., son 
of the above mentioned Robert, conveyed to James Flack tracts of land adjoining 
Tees.


On the only remaining marker, at the grave of
Robert Allen, Sr., we find the following inscription:

DY. OF. Robert AL
Len. decessed. Oct.
OBer. THe. 24 IN
THe. 47 YeAR. OF.
HIS. AGE. 1778.
