William Wilkerson Allen, Jr.
(1875 - 1968), also referred to as Willie
Butcher, or W.W., was born October 25, 1875, in Tarpum Bay (then known
as Glenelg) on Eleuthera, and lived his life in the Bahamas.
He married three times. His first wife died only months after their marriage. He fathered eight children with his second wife Bay Anna, including: Bill, Fred, Eris, Alice, Addie, Bertha, Naomi, and Ruth. Many years after the death of Bay Anna, he married his third wife Bertha and they became the parents of two daughters: Jane and Mary. He also fathered a daughter named Margaret, presumably after his first wife died.
Willie Butcher was a farmer, and in the 1950s he owned one of the largest tomato export businesses in the Bahamas. He also traded sisal, which is a strong fiber used to make straw products. In addition, he owned a store on Cat Island, which sold groceries and other materials.
Willie Butcher Allen was a member of the Methodist Church until the mid-1930s when they refused to admit his son Eris into Queen’s College because he was of African descent. As a result of the church’s refusal to admit him into their school, Eris was sent to Tuskegee University in Alabama where he studied electrical engineering. He is reported to be the first person to attend college from the island of Eleuthera, and one of the first Bahamians, if not the first, to attend Tuskegee. Willie Butcher then joined the Brethren Church where he remained a member until his death.
Willie Butcher, who had become the patriarch of the Allen family in the Bahamas, passed away November 5, 1968, at the age of 93 years.
