In the 1881 Ray Co History Book for Ray Co Mo I found the following Abraham Allen b in Ray Co Mo 4 Sept 1827. He is the son of Ruben and Thoda Allen natives of Tenn. He married Martha Tucker in 4 Sept 1859 native of Va. dau of John W Tucker and Nancy Tucker. they had four children: Elizabeth J b 13 Dec 1864 Jessie T b 27 Aug 1867 John W b 29 June 1870 Katie S b 9 Nov 1872 That is the only Allen in the bio section of the book. It might help you straighten them out later on. I do have Allen in my line, but my computor is down and I have no way to check them out.
