*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

Richard ALLAN was the 3rd son of Richard ALLAN and Elizabeth DARLING. Born in Haliburton, Greenlaw in 1813, Richard grew up to be a shepherd like his brothers. He was soon into farming, and at age 21, until at least age 25 he was working as a shepherd at Bow Farm, just south of Stow. At age 28 he married Agnes ALLAN in Melrose. They had a family of 3 boys and 2 girls. The family worked in several areas. Stow 1843, Ladhope Parish 1845 - 1850, "Colmslie" in Ladhope Parish 1851/1852, " Williamlaw" in Ladhope Parish 1857, "Ladhopemuir" in Ladhope Parish 1858, "Ellemford" in Longformacus Parish 1867 -1879, and "Harehead" in Cranshaws Parish in 1880. From 1867 - 1880 he lived only a mile or so from his younger brother John who worked at "Greenhope". The widow Agnes ALLAN lived with daughter Helen CLAPPERTON in Selkirk in 1881, and died at "Greenburn", the residence of her son Andrew ALLAN in 1886. A monument stone erected by the son Andrew ALLAN at Cranshaws Parish Churchyard mentions his parents Richard and Agnes ALLAN, also their son Richard ALLAN.
