My great-grandfather was Allen Davenport SELLERS - Birth: 13 NOV 1833, Crawford, Indiana; Death: 1889; Marriage: 15 OCT 1855, Harrison, Madison, Iowa, to Sarah Jane COON - Birth: 20 FEB 1836, Hardin, Ohio; Death: 05 JUL 1922. What did your "D" stand for? The context suggest "Davidson", but who knows? "Allen" is not the normal spelling for a first name, but it appears in my line: I have an uncle with the name, too, but obviously in honor of this same ancestor. You also have "Allan", another unusual rendering. Any history that there you know of?

Some of the census records say Allen D. was born in Mississippi -- best estimate in August sometime between 1819 and 1825, and was married to Eliza Ann Unknown.
