This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Allen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/8509.1 Message Board Post: There is a transcription of the 1870 census for the county at the county page under usgenweb.org but there is no Samuel Allen listed. The LDS has a transcription of the 1880 census for the entire country at www.familysearch.org (click advanced search, then census). There are 2 Samuel Allens listed who were born 1825 and living in NY but neither is in St. Lawrence county. You might want to research those two or do a country search but then again you are not sure if he lived to be 55. Good luck - Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
