Found a 'net reference to Civil War draftees from Wells County, and a
transcript of an Oct. 10, 1862, item in the Bluffton Banner with a list of
those draftees. Among them were Zephaniah Allen and William K. Allen. I
believe Zephaniah was my great-grandfather, but have been able to find out
virtually nothing about him other than that he was born in Ohio and was
married to Sarah Twidle, who was born in New York. Their son, William Ross
Allen, reportedly was my grandfather. I have some information on him. Are
there any Allens still living in Bluffton or Wells County who are involved
in genealogy, and might be willing to share information? Any guidance
appreciated. Thanks!
