A great flock of revolutionary patriots from North Carolina and East Tennessee poured in, and among them were the following, some of whom may have lived in Smith County, but some in Trousdale and adjoining areas that for a while was part of Smith, and perhaps before that their original settlement had been actually in Sumner, from which Smith had been taken. The following list of revolutionary soldiers, however, are believed to have been buried within the original boundaries of Smith County, after much of its territory had been given to make up the larger counties taken from it: We “borrowed” this fine list from Mrs. Garrett’s, published in Mrs. Acklens’s Bible records p. 465, and have added information, where we had it, about some of them: All are numbered, so that they may be referred to in later notes: ... 2. Capt. Grant Allen was born in Granville Co, North Carolina and was the son of William Hunt Allen and his second wife, who was Mary (Hunt) Minge, the widow of Robert Minge (incorrect; second wife was Frances Grant). Grant Allen, revolutionary soldier, of Smith Co, Tennessee ...Grant Allen married Tabitha Marshall of the Marshalls of Henrico, one of whom married into either the Burtons or Allens.
