Hi Joan,
Your question intrigues me very much. I will be interested in the answer
that you receive. You see there were a couple of James ALLEN's in the
Jackson Co. area. My James ALLEN was a James Tadlock ALLEN b 18 Feb 1814
and married a couple of times. The first was to a Mary "Polly" GOEN and
then to a Lucinda RUSSELL. They migrated from Jackson Co. to Sullivan Co.,
IN. Now one of his sons by the name of William J. ALLEN who married Hanah
McKINNEY name was James H. ALLEN who was born 06 Dec 1868 and died 06 Jan
1917 but married a Martha L. MILLIGAN and they resided in Sullivan Co., IN.
Their marriage took plan\ce 01 Sep 1890.
I also have the following information:
Elisha ALLEN of Washington Co., IN Wll
date: 11 Jul 1819, Probated: 18 Dec 1819
First Will Record, pages 300-301

I do not know if these are related to me or to your side.
Bingo !!! I think I found something for you that I got Oct 9, 1998.
"Hello from Virginia...
My Great Grandmother, who died in 1942, was named Maggie Leslie. Her second
husband was named James Allen and she married him after being widowed in
1893. Her first husband was George Cornelius SWIFT....." Opppps that was
from you in 1998. :-) Well at least you cant say that I do not save things
:-)
this from a cousin: James R. ALLEN who was born Feb 4, 1867 in Jackson Co.,
IN.
Well, that is all that I could find in my files for you. Good luck

Hi List
Can anyone help me find the 2nd marriage of my great grandmother ? It
would
be after 1893, when her 1st husband died. I want to know the date,
names
of the groom's parents, his age, etc. Her age, etc.
Bride = Margaret (Maggie) Leslie Swift , born approx 1861 but may have
lied
about her age. She got younger as time went by & by the time she
married
3rd
husband, she had shaved off a few years ! She was widow of
George
Swift.
( her parents - Alexander and Margaret Leslie)
Groom= James Allen, a widower. Don't know anything else about him.
James Allen
Place= Indiana, perhaps Seymour or county.
Thank you to any kindhearted person who takes the time to look for me.
