Greetings,
I am so glad to see all this traffic on the Allen list. This is
the most we've had in a long time. I, too, have a brick wall over which
I've been unable to climb for about twenty years. Maybe someone on the
list can give me a boost over this wall.
Here it is: James Allen, born in NC in 1788 (based on the 1850
census in Pickens Co., AL) married Prudence also born in NC in 1792. I do
not know Prudence's maiden name. I do not know where James or Prudence was
born in N

Thanks for Understanding!!!!

Thanks, I forgot to add the birth name, it is LUKE. HE is AA.
I believe he might be with relatives. I just dont know the relatives.
I see his father Ben Easter and Luke's son Ed Easter listed.
Ed is not in Lauderdale COunty, he is in Sharkey County, MS.
It is possible Luke and his own family traveled and remain
"missing and lost" for 1900.
My family tree is incomplete!!!!!
That is terrible.
Any close again. AM trying to tell me story here and when I add too much
information, someone says take it off, then I

The 1850 Henry Co., Alabama, Federal Census tells us that Celia's mother's name was Sarah, head of household on that census, age 45, b. 1805 in S.C. She's listed with seven of her children, including "Ceally E.", ranging in age from 7 years to 22 years. Celia is the youngest. Where's Sarah's husband? Has he died or is he managing property elsewhere, or are they divorced? The children listed on the census are John E, age 22,
