I am interested in an Erastus W Allen who married my ancestress Eliza "Jane" (nee Baker) Thompson on 18 Mar 1862. She was born in June 1821 in New York. She is buried in Minneapolis, Minnesota and so I believe that this married couple must have moved there sometime after they married (most of her children from her first marriage ended up there too). I don't know if these two had any children (she was 41 when they married). I wonder if Erastus might be related to Lydia. Wendy Bergerud PS There is also a REEVES in the family: Eliza's daughter Mary married a Harry Reeves about whom I know next to nothing!
