Hezekiah ALLEN:

Born 1842, Greenup Co, KY
Edward and Patty Lydick, Sr., 9537 Eden Dr., King George, VA 22435 were visiting this Sunday morning. She is researching the lineage of William Shepherd b. 1840 who married 1st to Mary "Polly" Hale b. 1842. Polly married 2nd to Hezekiah Allen and William m. 2nd to Elizabeth Prater. The 1850 Floyd Co. KY census lists Brice Hale, age 53, b. VA, wife Mary (Vance) age 60, b. VA with Jacob Shepherd, age 25, and William Shepherd, age 10. By 1860 the above William at age 20 was married to Polly who was age 18. The mother of William and Jacob Shepherd is thought to have been Elizabeth Shepherd, dau of David Shepherd b. 1791 and Lucretia Hale b. 1793. Patty had been told by a very good researcher that William and perhaps Jacob Shepherd were in fact Barnetts...and that is where she is stalled.
She would also like to learn the parentage of Elizabeth Prater, the 2nd wife of William Prater.
