| Notes |
- Thomas Allender was born in Maryland, probably Baltimore. He went to Kentucky with the family of his future Father-in-law, Thomas Stansbury. Thomas and Hannah married on February 5,1792 in Jefferson Co., Kentucky and are shown on the Nelson Co. Kentucky tax list that year. Thomas Stansbury gave the young couple some property and at his death, Thomas and Hannah Allender received additional property.
The 1796 - 1799 tax lists of Jefferson/Bullitt Co. shows 1 white male over 21. No land. The 1800 tax list shows 2 white males over 21 and 281 acres on Floyds Fork (first entered in the name of Thomas Stansbury). He appears again in 1803, 1804 & 1808. The 1810 census and tax list show 1 white tithable and 4 black over the age of 21 / 7 blacks total. The 1815 Inventory of the estate of Thomas Allender returned 3 July 1815 by Samuel Hornbeck, Solomon Hornbeck and Dennis Quick (Bullitt Co. Will Bk A p. 138.)
There was a dispute between the heirs of Thomas Allender. His daughter Elizabeth's husband, John Rowland, made claim and eventually won title to the largest portion. Their stepfather, James Robinson, represented the minor children. Over the years, the minor children sold their portion of the land to John and Elizabeth Rowland. By that time, most had left the area. Apparently they produced salt in that part of Kentucky. and the area was quite a boomtown until the 1830s when it became cheaper to import salt. They transported salt all over the interior along rivers and many people in the area were involved in producing or trading salt.
