I found her family on the 1830 Obion Co census. I am looking for the parents and siblings of my ggrandfather, James Madison Allen, who accordinfg to the 1850 Mo census was born in Tn in 1813. Hopefully, Elizabeth is the mother of James. There are two males between the ages of 15 and 20 in the 1830 Obion Co. census and JMA would have been 17 at the time. A long shot but I am pursuing all possibilities. Thank you for any info you might be able to provide! Jim Allen in Oregon
