Captain Peter Allison
Information on the Scots-Irish who arrived in the United States in the early to mid-1700s is scant. Had I not found his will in the Jessamine County, Kentucky courthouse naming his daughter Mary (Polly) who married John Campbell, I probably would not have been able to proceed with the research.
Knowing that the Scots-Irish who migrated to Kentucky after the Revolutionary War primarily came from the valley of Virginia, I combed through whatever records I was able to access, and found that persons named Allisons (Ellisons) were listed in tax lists in Augusta County, Virginia as early as 1753. I discovered his name on a list of sailors in the Revolutionary Navy, where he was listed as a Captain in the Virginia Continental Army as a supernumerary officer under Theophilus Field.
After the war, Peter lived in Washington County, Virginia where his name appeared on the tax list in 1782. Peter migrated to Kentucky in 1784, where he is shown in Lincoln County. There were also other Allisons (Ellisons) living in Lincoln County from 1781 onward. In 1787, Peter's name shows up in the Mercer County court records, and two years later in Fayette County. In 1787 a petition was presented for "An Act for establishing new inspections of tobacco and reviving and establishing others." Not only does Peter Allison sign, but also John Campbell, Peter's son-in-law and John's brother, Robert Campbell.
Peter Allison's Will appears in the Jessamine County Court in October 1802. In January 1803 the inventory of his estate was recorded in the court records.
Peter's wife's name is unknown, she having proceeded him in death. His children were John, Thomas, Mary (Polly) Allison Campbell, Esther Allison Weathers (Withers) and Nancy.
He was undoubtedly buried in a family cemetery which is no longer in existence.
