My grandfater Charlie Cleo Allen was born in Fork Ridge Tennessee in Claiborne Co. His parents were Mack C. Allen and Mary Malinda Jane Russell. This is a brick wall for me. My Grandfather used to say that they were actually McDonalds but his Father Mack C. Allen had been adopted by an Allen man. I do not know exactly how true this is as my Grandfather liked to cut up a lot. You never knew when he was serious. I know next to nothing about my Great Grandfather Mack C. Allen as he died of Pneumonia at the age of 35 on 4/27/15, in Bell Co.,Kentucky.Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. thanks
