I am preparing a one time McAllister and Dolbow newsletter for Pike County, JoDaviess County and New Jersey researchers. I have been contacted by a number of people and I have contacted many people. I have researched Pike County McAllister's to the point I have some data on almost any McAllister. I have provided this data to several researchers. I have issued one newsletter and have been encouraged to issue another with more extensive information. I have researched or have been given data on the McAllister's of New Salem Twp. Nancy McAllister (wife of William McKinney) came to Pike County in 1839. Her brother, William came in 1850. There are other McAllister families in Pike that apparently have not been researched. The main one is the Yarrow and brother John who came to Pike from New Jersey in 1839. There are many McAllister's of these two still in Pike County (An oddity I find is that of all the McAllister's I talked to in Pike County, none seemed interested in the family tree. There is one not in the county that has recently started a research.). There is a connection with the McAllister's of Jo Daviess County that is being researched. There is also McAllister/Dolbow connections not yet fully determined. There were early McAllisters in Pike besides Yarrow and John. Mary A McAllister married Clement Lippencott (both from NJ) and in 1850 there was an Isaac Dolbow living with Clement. The 1840 census has a James McAllister as well as Yarrow and John. Who was James? David S. McAllister from NJ married Eliza McWorthy in 1844. Is anyone researching the Lippincott and McWorthy names. Are there McAllister/Dolbow (and associated families) researchers that I have not been in contact with and would like to share information.
