One of my names pops up, ALLEN, Wm. I. was one of the first settlers there, he sold his land to Mr. Hoopes, thus we have Hoopeston. I see a county called Newell, Squire James Newell is one of mine. If there is anything on Allens--as Wm., Lawrence, Charles I would certainly love additional information. prudy511@msn.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
