Supposedly she was raised all of her life in that area but beings the counties are so close and the general area thought maybe this may be the Sarah Allen I am looking for. I am sorry I don't have her parents names. I do know she was married 3 times #l was a Connor,#2 was a Denton,and # 3 was a Joseph Milton Johnson which is my ggrandfather. there were children by the other 2 marriages but have not been able to trace them yet. Thank you for any help you might be able to give. Phyllis Booco-Colorado
