the birthplace is probably written Ia. and that was sometimes used as an abbreviation for

1870 Census of Floyd Co lists a
Benjamin Allen, 55, married, Keeps boarding house, born NY
Allen, Amanda, wife, 38 born KY
Allen, William P., 20, m, born KY
also listed are several boarders.
Rebecca was in the 1870 Census with her parents, Joseph and Deliah Wicks (it looks like
Jaila in the 1870 census)
Both Joseph Wicks and Delilah are buried in Fairview, but may not have tombstones. They
are buried in Plat 3, Range 8, Lot 6.
Joseph L. Wicks owned the lot.
Their burial numbers are 6603 and 7347.
