Yolanda, I was just wondering about your Allens of SE. . I have an Andrew Allen , father of Lydia Catherine Allen first w/o Solomon Thomas. He operated a ferryboat out of Fairhaven, a part of Gallia County that is now called Kanauga. He came from Virginia , bought alot of land near the mouth of the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. This is where the Silver Memorial Bridge sits. He died in 1863 quite and old man. He had 9 children, according to the Fairhaven Church Records. cheryl --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search
