Uriah P. Allen & Phoebe Leek Info

The following comment was posted yesterday on the Blog.


I am looking for Uriah J Allen married to Phoebe Leek and father of John P Allen. Uriah's parents were Thomas and Anne Marie Cranmer Allen. If anyone can help me with the Uriah/Phoebe/John link I would most appreciate it. Thank you, Sara Pugh

Well Sara, I hope the following information helps you in your family genealogy quest. The information comes from a draft copy of an Allen genealogy book that Shirley Whealton, Pat Steinhauer, and myself are working on. The numbers to the left are reference number for navigation purposes within the book.

    Beverly,
    This is Sara Pugh again. I am in the final application process for Daughter's of the American Revolution and have just had a call that I need another reference for Martha Allen's relation to Louisa besides the 1880 Census. I have considered the picture published here of Ida with Louisa, as both are on the same census.
    Also, I was interested in learning more about Uriah and linking hime with his sonJohn as John and wife Louisa were cousins and the additonal information could add proof of that Allen lineage descended from Thomas.
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.
    Hope you and yours have been well,
    Sara Pugh

    Pete,
    Thank you for your tireless work and willingness to share your research. As I mentioned in my post, I am in the final stages of the DAR application and have been working on my family line for a long time. Unfortunately, your response has led me to a big question/problem. Your Martha E. Allen, (daughter of Louisa and John Allen) is not the same Martha E. Allen that I connect to and thus the line is in question. My Martha Allen was married to Thomas F. Quinn. Where did you find your information for the Mattie Allen you write of to link her to Louisa? I would so appreciate any help or light you can shed on this.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Sara Pugh
