Notable Ancestors
Three notable names recorded in Helen’s Allen family tree. Their historical identities, titles, and family connections remain subjects for review.
Thomas Smyth of Blackmore

John Turner of Crepping Hall
Born 1500, as recorded in the family tree. A historical account records John Turner receiving a 60-year lease of Crepping Hall from the Earl of Oxford in 1548.
