Allen age 56, stock and cattle dealer, born in IN, parents b. NY, living with his wife Sarah (b. NC), daughters Mary and Julia, and sons Charles and William, AND Philo Allyn age 55, occupation "out of business" born IN, parents born France (crossed out) and NC, relationship "uncle" in household of B. F. Connely age 33, his wife E. L. age 23 b. NC, and daughter M.E. I know that the P.H. Allyn mentioned above is the same person as Philo H. Allyn b. 1824, IN, d. 1888, NE. I suspect that the second person listed is the same individual. Can anyone provide me with evidence proving or disproving the hypothesis that E. L. Connely, wife of B. F. Connely, was the niece of Sarah Welborn Allyn, wife of Philo Allyn?
