I am researching the early heritage of my family.

Local county area of focus: Southern Nash County

Local town of research : Spring Hope (in Mannings

Township) in Eastern North Carolina

Searching this family heritage:

My father was named Leamond Onnie Allen. His father

was named John Allen and his mother is named Lourinda

Pulley Allen, Lourinda's mother was Dora Pulley.

My mother was named Vacarious Pettiford Allen. Her

father was David Pettiford. Her mother was Geneva

Hedgepeth Pettiford. David's father was Doc Pettiford

and his wife was Frances Pettiford.

Any help or hints, particularly on John's heritage,

Doc's heritage, and Dora's heritage would be appreciated.
