Notes:

Major Arthur Allen, Jr. born 1650 in the Allen family home in Surry, Virginia, USA and died before September 5, 1710 in Isle Of Wight County. Virginia at the age of (83). He married Catherine Baker, daughter and heiress of Capt. Lawrence Baker of Surry Co. The will of Arthur was proved in Surry Co. Court September 5, 1710 and named the following children. Arthur Allen, Jr. and Joan may have been born in England and were transported to Virginia by their father, Arthur Allen Sr.

Arthur Allen became an agent for tobacco merchants in Bristol, England, and arrived in Virginia during the 1640s. He amassed one of the largest plantations in Surry County by the 1660s. There, he built a three story brick house that reflected his status as one of the county's wealthiest men. Allen died in 1669; his house became known as Bacon's Castle in 1802 after Nathaniel Bacon's followers occupied it during the 1676 insurrection.

Bacon's Castle, also variously known as "Allen's Brick House" or the "Arthur Allen House" is located in Surry County, Virginia, United States, and is Virginia's oldest documented brick dwelling. Built in 1665, it is noted as an extremely rare example of Jacobean architecture in the New World.

The house became known as "Bacon's Castle" because it was occupied as a fort or "castle" by the followers of Nathaniel Bacon during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. However, contrary to popular folklore, Bacon never lived at Bacon's Castle, nor is he even known to have visited it.

Today Bacon's Castle is an historic house museum and historic site open for guest visitation. Bacon's Castle is an official Preservation Virginia historic site and operates under its 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit status.

Arthur Allen Jr was a minor when his father died in 1669, so his mother waited until 1670 to finalize her administration of the estate leaving the family brick mansion to her adult son Arthur Allen Jr without need for a guardian. This left her free to marry her next door neighbor John Hardy.
