*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

John ALLAN was the 4th son of Richard ALLAN and Elizabeth DARLING. He was born at "Teddlehouse" in Greenlaw. He is first mentioned in 1837 as being present at the house when his mother died. While the children were weeping thinking that their mother had died, she propped up and said, "Let me depart in peace!!, and see that you agree one man to another" .Around this time he worked as a shepherd at "Middlethird" which is by Gordon. He later moved over to Peebles-shire where he worked at "Blackhopebyre" which is very high and stormy ground. His wife Isabella HOGG was the daughter of John HOGG and Margaret BURNET.This family is distantly connected to James HOGG - "The Ettrick Shepherd". James HOGG is one of the most famous Scottish poets in the rank of SCOTT and Robbie BURNS. He consistently made money from his poems, then lost it in farming ventures. John ALLAN worked many places after he married in 1850. Blackhaugh 1851, Fairneylees in Channelkirk Parish 1853 - 1859, Ellemford in Longformacus Parish 1861 - 1867, and lastly Greenhope in Longformacus Parish from 1871 to 1897 .
