Allen, a native of Barnwell County, SC, enlisted as a private in Co. F of the 3rd SC Cavalry on July 15, 1862. He likely had enlisted earlier when the company was an independent cavalry company, but no records supporting this have been found. During 1864, he spent much of the year detailed to the Signal Corps.
After the war, he returned to farming in Barnwell and Hampton Counties, SC. Allen died on November 20, 1907 and is buried in the cemetery of Swallow Savannah Untied Methodist Church in Allendale, SC.
