*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

The origins of this family begin with Richard ALLAN and Elizabeth REDPATH. No actual entries have been found as yet concerning this couple, except where they have been found as parents in baptismal records for three children. From what is known of the family structure, son Andrew Allan must also be included, probably their first child. Most likely a shepherd, Richard ALLAN probably married around 1750. The family lived in the Langton/Duns area from at least 1757 to 1795, with sons Andrew and Richard both having children born in the vicinity. The fact that son Richard (and family) were buried in Langton up to 1841 after an absence of 45 years, indicates strong family ties there. This former village is one candidate for the "usual" Allan burial place mentioned later, and is the Allan's earliest known location in Berwickshire.
