• Notes

  1790 Discharge from army due to Chronic Rheumatism whilst serving as Serjeant in Gibralter in 59th Regiment of Foot in Captain George Darby's company under command of Lieut. Gen. David Lindsay, Bart., recommended as a Chelsea Pensioner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Maree 2011 - I can't get off the thought that John Allen Kingsmill's mum (Mary Allen b. ca. 1760-70) was a sister or close relation of Thomas Allen (b. 1770 Sligo). This is based on lots of curious but obvious co-incidences: For example, given the birthplaces of John Allen's children (Counties Mayo and Galway) and Henry Kingsmill's meanderings over Ireland as a career soldier. And, like John Allen Kingsmill, John Allen was an RIC man. Also, my James K Allen left Drayton to go to Dungog after his dad John died, to where both Henry Kingsmill and Thomas Abbott resided, the three of them active community leaders. I would go so far as to suggest that James, as an elder son, had certain familial "obligations" (ie in marrying Sophia Kingsmill with her family connections, an "arranged marriage" of sorts), and which I would further maintain by his later marriage, following Sophia's death, to the widow of Luke Kingsmill, Marianna, who herself was a daughter of Letitia Kingsmill. James K Allen's elder sister-in-law, Mary, married her Kingsmill cousin, Arthur John, another Abbott descendant. There are just so many other Abbott connections with the Allen family in Australia, as there are with the Kingsmill's in Ireland, that it must be more than a co-incidence!
