Wanted Dead or Alive: John aka "Jack" Allen, a German The reward might be a gumdrop, a slice of my homemade cheesecake (don't laugh, it's the best!) or just my undying appreciation for life. But some miner named John aka Jack Allen impregnated my ancestor squaw Mary and VOILA...this beautiful Indian maiden appeared in 1875 named Josie. Now, I have a John Henry Allen..maybe even sometimes called "Jack"...but he was born as well as parents in Nova Scotia. Then there is Jesey Paer Allen from Sweden...I think I might have even seen somewhere that someone said he was from Bavaria. And Jesey....Josey....Jesey...Josey...sounds promising ???? BUT where is the JOHN...the JACK??? Sharon
