    Another one of the original Snow Camp families, was that of John Allen. He came to this section on a hunting trip, and liked the country so well he returned home to straighten out his affairs, collect his belongings and wife, and returned to build a home. During a trip to Pennsylvania, he took sick and died. However, he had previously secured a Land Grant from one of the Lord Proprietors, the Earl of Granville. The Grant of land was made about the same time, and from the same Proprietor from whom Simon Dixson secured his claim.

    Some time later, John's son, John Allen Jr., came to Randolph County and settled on Deep river, near Holly Springs. Soon he came to Snow Camp to take up the land grated to his father. He first built a small log home his family lived in until the end of the Revolutionary War. He then built the log house that stood near the home of Lester Allen. When the home was first built, it had no windows, and one large room comprised the upstairs. The home has been moved to the Alamance Battleground, restored, and open to the Public.

    John Allen was a lawyer, a school teacher, and part time farmer. His youngest son was a Magistrate.
