Hello Peggy Gordon!
Unfortunately I can find no relatives of ancestors - just the "direct"
family members. And I think my folks were not as skilled/educated as yours.
So here are my Allens--
Hugh Allen - before 1800 A Weaver in Carnowen/Carnone, Donegal by 1814
Henry Allen (son) 1814 Weaver/Labourer
1838 April Married Barbara Stevenson ofCarnowen/Carnone, Donegal
by Rev. Dickey of
Carnowen/Carnone Presbyterian Church
Baptism records of children: Carnowen/Carnone Presbyterian Church
1837 William (died young)
* 1840 May HENRY Jr*
1844 Feb Susan
1846 Nov Sarah
1850 14 Nov HENRY Sr. - a widower Marries Catherine Flood of
Carnone
by Rev. Dickey (the son) of
Carnowen/Carnone Presbyterian Church
1851 HENRY Sr. (and family) depart Ireland for Philadelphia - I
think on the Superior from Derry.
HENRY Sr. and family move ultimately to Dane County Wisconsin, where Henry
Sr. and Catherine died
* 1865 HENRY JR. *married Elizabeth Holmes in Dane County
Wisconsin and in 1870 moved, homesteading in
Dixon County NE - founding the town of ALLEN, Nebraska in 1890. Henry Jr.
Died 1916, Elizabeth died 1904, both in Allen, NE. (They had 5 children - 3
daughters born in Wisconsin - Sarah, Mary, Martha - 2 sons born in Nebraska.
James and Edward.
* JAMES HENRY ALLEN * (1872 -1955) married Olive Wheeler (1876-1940)
- in Allen, Nebraska
1897 - 1976 *IVA ANN ALLEN* is my maternal grandmother
- in Allen, Nebraska
We have no information about relatives in Canada.
Everything I have learned about Henry Jr. (other than what happened after
he immigrated) has been with the gracious assistance and skills of the
folks here.
But, if we all go back far enough in history- we are related.
Best regards,
Valerie
