I'm back with more questions!
Can anyone clarify the relationship/family of John ALLEN b 11 Jan 1809, Floyd Co, KY (s/o William ALLEN and Caty GEARHEART) and Mary "Polly" WHITAKER b abt 1830 Floyd Co, KY.
I have a marriage date of 1 Oct 1860, Magoffin Co, KY. However in a note I have: At this time, no evidence has been found of a marriage between Polly WHITAKER and John ALLEN.
The 1860 census shows Polly WHITAKER living in John ALLEN's household as cook with 4 children who are assumed to be fathered by John ALLEN. At this time John would have been 51 yrs old and widower of 1) Nancy Jane CLICK and 2) Celia SLUSHER.
Also the 1860 Magoffin Co census shows: ALLEN, John Jr., age 23, with wife Polly, H75.
I have children of John ALLEN and Mary "Polly" WHITAKER as:
Thomas (twin) WHITAKER b abt 1853,
Unknown (twin) WHITAKER - b abt 1853, died at birth (?),
Arty WHITAKER b 1857
Reese WHITAKER b 1859
Then:
Morgan ALLEN b bet 1860/1863 - If John ALLEN married Polly WHITAKER in October 1860, Morgan was definitely the son of John ALLEN.
Solomon ALLEN b 1865 - If John ALLEN married Polly WHITAKER in October 1860, Solomon was definitely the son of John ALLEN.
Also who were Mary "Polly" WHITAKER®s parents?
Have I made the all too human mistake of combining 2 families???
Again, thanks for any help and information!
