Hi Everyone! I am looking for information on Phineas Allen or Alling, born in Wallingford, Waterbury, New London, or New Haven area's on October 5, 1754. I would like to know who his parents were, and anything at all about his background. He died in 1840 in Camden, Oneida Co, New York. He & his wife, reported to be Rebecca Alling (were they related?), had Persons P. Allen about 1781 in Connecticut. We don't know where in CT but would sure like to! We just know 1850, 1860, census indicate he was born in CT. He married Chloe Tuttle in Camden NY in 1805. They had several children, Royce, Mary (who is my Gr. Gr. Grandmother), Chloe P, and Andrew Tuttle Allen. Royce was born in 1817, 12 years after their marriage, so I think it's possible there are other brothers' & sisters too! Chloe's brother Andrew Tuttle, one of the first resdents in Camden NY, married Persons sister Philome Allen or Alling. Any thing you might know will be a big help Phineas & Persons seem to be a little bit of a mystery, along with Rebecca Alling!!! I am also looking for information about the Darby's from Canterbury Ct. We know that John Darby & Mary Blanchard Darby married in Dunstable about 1797, had William, and James who moved to Canterbury before 1720. Probably about 1717. James is my ancestor. He married Eleanor Shepherd and I would lik to have information about her family also. Right now I know James was born in Dunstable Mass 1701/2, moved to Canterbury about 1717. He married Eleanor in Dunstable Mass before 1724 when their son James Jr. was born. That's it!!! I have no birth date on Eleanor, no family! They had other children Samuel, Eleazer, & Jesse, & Eleazor is my ancestor. Eleazor married Anna Doubledee Aug 22, 1754 in Canterbury, and they had Rufus, Lucy, Mary, Susannah, Anna Sibyl & Joseph who was born Before August 23, 1772, his baptism date. I would love to know more about Anna Doubledee also, as this is all I know, just like Eleanor Shepherd. I don't have birth date, any family for them at all! Joseph married Anna Grow, daughter of Thomas Grow from Hampton CT. They moved to Cortland NEW YORK about 1802 with their son Lyman & Dau Dillie. If anyone has an information about this CT family, especially the early Darby's, I'd sure appreciate knowing it!!! Anything anyone comes up with will be appreciated! Thank you so much!!!
