After 1854 if Allen was born in Perry co. Why don't you go over to the courthouse and look up land records and see if he bought land in Hocking. That would give a good clue to when they moved. Falls Twp Hocking is not far from Salt Lick Twp Perry. There's a gap between Allen and the next older child. Maybe a child that died? Barbara >children. The family moved to Hocking Co. sometime between 1850 & 1860. > >Thank you for any information you may have or pointing me in the right >direction. > >Sherole
