Individual:
Allen was of Irish decent.
Allen was the founder of Oakdale, Tennessee. He staked out a claim on a track of land consis ting of about 3,000 acres between Mud Lick and Deermont, Tennessee. He was a hunter and farmer, who raised mostly corn and beans along the creek and river banks.
In 1852, Allen learned about a railroad coming through the area. The city of Cincinnati, Ohi o, was building a rail line from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Tennessee. The railroad was know as the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific railroad, later known as the Southern Railway, and then as the Norfolk Southern.
Allen sold to the railroad the right of way of 200 acres for the rail line and terminal yard . This land was located along the eastern banks of the Babahatchie River, now known as the Emory River. After numerous delays, which included the Civil War and tunnel building through mountians, the railroad was completed in the early 1880's. A town sprang up around the terminal yard and the railroad called the town Honeycutt after Allen Honeycutt. The name remained Honeycutt until 1898, when the Post Office moved to another building and the town's name was changed to Oakdale.
