Surnames: Allen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADE/161.1.2 Message Board Post: I am looking for the family of a John J. Allen, born in Georgia around 1829-1833. He married in Bibb County in 1853, and his obituary says he was "in business there for many years", but I can't find him as on the 1850 census there. Could he be from one of these John Allen's in Twiggs and Wilkinson Counties?
