I'm taking a stab at sorting out the names of some Allen family members I've come across. My ancestor was Jacob Allen (b. 1776, son of James and Celetje Leroy) and I'm trying to figure out which Allen family they belonged to. Does anyone know anything about the following? 1) James Allen m. to Elisabeth Steward - their daughter Pricilla was born 25 June 1808, baptized at Gilboa/Dyse's Manor 2) Debora Allen m. to James Van Loon - they named a son Jacob Allen, b. 9 Dec. 1806. Was this the Debora b. 1775 whose parents were Samuel Ellen and Natge Van Berg? 3) Any information about the origins of the Samuel Brandow who was married to Maria Brandow? Is this Samuel the same as in 2)? I know there was Jesse Allen from New Jersey who moved to Bradford Co, PA and the Joseph Allen family who came via Rhode Island. I think others came directly from CT and MA. Anyone know anything that might point the way? Thanks for any help, Karol
