...
Nancy, the second daughter, married Rev. Joel Allen; they raised a large family of sons and daughters; the sons were James (killed in the war), William, Joel I., David E. and Frank ; the daughters were Annie, Maria, Eugenia and Alice.
...
Joel I. married, first. Miss Helen Bass ; she died, and left four or five children, sons and daughters; Joel I. married, a second time, a lady near Ridgeway, S. C, named Lulie Meredith ; by her he had three children, when she died, and he is now a widower again, with two sets of children, eight in number. Joel I. Allen, like his father, is a Baptist preacher, and has charge of the Baptist Church at Dillon, and resides there ; is a fair preacher, and has one quality that many preachers do not have —his sermons are short and sensible, and when he gets through he quits —he does not turn round and thrash the straw over again or rehash it; he is a good man. ;
