Hello Friends!

I am researching in Daviess County for my ancestors, Thomas Allen and
his wife Prudence Chapman. I have found their marriage record in
1833. Apparently Thomas Allen died before 1842 because I find Mrs.
Prudence Allen married Jesse Godden (or Godwin, as on 1850 census).

I believe that Prudence Chapman's parents were Elijah Chapman and
Elizabeth Miller. Elizabeth Miller Chapman married James McCarty
(after the death of Elijah about 1823).

Are there any books or pamphlets on cemeteries in Daviess County? I
believe that Prudence (Chapman, Allen) Godwin or Godden may have died
before 1856 when daughters Mary Ellen Allen and Elizabeth Allen sold
the property as heirs of Thomas Allen. I believe that Jesse Godwin &
family may have been living on that property in 1850 census, although
neither Elizabeth nor Mary Ellen were living with that family. I
believe that Mary Ellen Allen is the Mary E. Allen who was living with
Elizabeth & James McCarty in 1850. (Elizabeth McCarty would have been
her grandmother) I am trying to find out when Thomas Allen died and
where was he buried; and when Prudence Godden/Godwin died and where
she was buried.

I would also be interested in where James Allen (father of Thos) and
his wife, Mary Wheatley are buried.

I think that all of these people lived in Harrison Township at one
time or another. Thank you so much for any information you might
share.
