Allen was born in Hale County, the son of Samuel B. and Lucy M. Gray Allen. He attended the Green Springs School under the noted educator, Dr. Henry Tutwiler. His parents died when he was only a boy, but he successfully managed his father's large estate, until it was divided among the heirs.

Allen associated himself with William. C. Jemison, mayor of Tuscaloosa, and founded Allen & Jemison Company in 1883.

The company was in business in Tuscaloosa for over 100 years.
