  • Notes 
    • Information on Allen's wife came from T. Dowling's family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

      In the Federal Census of 1860, Allen is age 17, living at Alma, Allegany Co., NY, with his married sister Aurelia Southmayd and her husband. Another married sister, Caroline Barron, is nearby with her family.

      In the Federal Census of 1870, Allen Jr. 27 and his father Allen 69 are living at Alma, Allegany Co., NY. No other family members are listed with them. Allen Sr. works in a shingle mill, and Allen Jr. is a farmer.

      In the Federal Census of 1880, Allen is married to Elva and has four children. They are living at Alma, NY.

      According to a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, Allen & Elva parted ways and she remarried to Eugene Mayo by about 1884 (this needs more research to confirm).

      In the Federal Census of 1900, Allen is age 57, living at Scio, Allegany Co., NY. With him are: Grace Allen (dtr) 26, Arthur E. Wightman (son) 24, Robert H. Wightman (son) 23, May Wightman (dtr) 19, and Charles Allen (grandson) 9.
