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 1814Henry 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, Nebraska1897 - 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

Hello Valerie,Samuel Allen born Apr 23, 1828 in Seskinore, Co. Tyrone, Ireland
married my gg aunt Elizabeth Johnston in Ontario, Canada. His parents were
Arthur Allen and Mary Clingen. Arthur was a land surveyor. Arthur's youngest
child Letitia was born in Ireland in 1837 so the family emigrated after that
and I think immediately after that as the oldest daughter married in Ontario
abt 1837. I wonder if they might be connected to your Allen family. I have
written to Seskinore Presbyterian Church some time ago but have not received a
reply.Peggy Gordon=================================
