I am trying to sort out all the James Allens in Hamilton County. I think this is a different family, but I'm not sure. James had eight children with his first wife: James II, Elizabeth, Samuel B., William D., Nancy J., James W., Riley, and Willis A. Allen. Joseph is Josephus Allen, son of Josiah Allen and Winnifred/Winneford Ingram. He married Rosanna Dewitt on 26 Jul 1858 in Hamilton Co., IL. They are buried in Union Cemetery. His siblings were: Caroline G., Penelope, James R., Winniford (married Wilburn Marion Anderson), and Rachel Paulina Allen (married John S. Anderson). Josephus and Rosanna had at leaset three children: Josephus II, Columbus, and James. Hope this helps.
