Obtaining death certificates for Matthew's children is a good idea. Also for Alexander's children if I can find them. Unfortunately, I have not been able to travel to Washington County, Ohio to check deed records for the Allisons. I hope to some day or perhaps I might be able to hire someone to check them for me. There was a family of Allisons living in Adams Township in Washington County, Ohio, but have never been able to connect Margaret, Alexander, or Matthew to them. Thank you for your helpful ideas. Best Regards.
