Am not certain what you have, but since you placed a question mark after your first sentence, I thought you may not have Allison in the 1850 Census. Based on you stating John A was born 1853 in Liverpool, Oh., I was able to locate Allison and family in the 1860 Census, and finding he was born in Pa., and the children in Va., I was able to locate him in the 1850 Census in Va. 1850 District #26 Hancock Cty., Va. Alison 26 Riverman B: Pa. Lucinda 23 Va Saml 4 " Sarah 2 " Infant 1 mos. " _________________________________________________________ There is also a marriage license: Allison Martin to Lucinda Allison 25 Sept. 1845 Brooke Cty., Va. ____________________________ If you can tell me how this Andrew Martin is related to Allison or what you know about him, I might be able to help find what you want.
