DR. HENRY C. ALLIN is the seventh of a family of fourteen children born
to Thomas and Mary B. (Thompson) Allin.  Thomas Allin, Sr., grandfather 
of the Doctor, was a native of Virginia and an early resident of Mercer 
County, Ky., of which he was clerk for fifty years, his sons, Thomas and
Philip, serving as his deputies.  He was a man of culture and fine 
business qualifications, and died in 1833, a victim of the dread 
scourge, cholera, so prevalent in Kentucky during that year.  Thomas 
Allin, Jr., father of the Doctor, was born in Mercer County, where he 
lived all his life.  He was deputy under his father for a number of 
years, and later was appointed to the clerk's office, which he continued
to fill until the breaking out of the civil war.  He was a successful 
businessman, accumulating a handsome competency, and died in the year 
1864.  His wife Mary B. Allin, was the daughter of Maj. George Thompson,
one of the early settlers of Mercer County and one of its most 
successful farmers.  His death occurred in 1833.  Dr. Henry C, Allin was
born on the 10th February, 1825, in Harrodsburg.  He grew to manhood on 
the home farm, received a good education at Bacon College, Harrodsburg, 
and at the age of twenty-two began the study of medicine with Drs. 
Slavin and Jones, and afterward attended the Louisville University, from
which institution he graduated in the spring of 1850.  In September of 
that year he began the practice of his profession at the village of 
Mackville, where he has since resided.  He was married May 4, 1852, to 
Naomi F. Pendleton, by whom he has three children- Mary, wife of
Thomas J. Smith; Anna, wife of S.B. Thompson, and Maggie, widow of J.W.
Jones.  The Doctor has a large and lucrative practice in Washington and
adjoining counties, and is one of the leading medical men of Mackville.
He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, in politics votes with the
Democratic party, and, with his family, is a member of the Christian
Church.
