Surnames: ALLEN, MCCARTY, MCCARTHY, ROGERS, PAYSEE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/pBC.2ACE/4006 Message Board Post: I am working on a Civil War project of vets buried at our Evergreen Cemetery, Everett, WA and find that a vet served under the name of John McCarty/McCarthy alias John Allen. His pension records say he died 5/1900 but the notice in Everett Herald of his burial was dated 6/1895 and the cardex on his Civil War tombstone says 5/1/1895. His wife Emma Allen remarried to a WM. F. Rogers and was living in 1900 census with children Gordon, Belle, John and Nellie and says married 7 years which would also support the 1895 date of death. The children listed with Emma Rogers are also the correct children for John Allen/McCarty. If anyone knows of any early marriage records for King Co. I would apreciate if they would check to see if a Emma Allen married Wm. F. Rogers (b/1858) between 1895 and 1901 Belle Allen married Sibbi Paysee by 1910 and the Rogers/Paysee family were living together in Seattle. We need this information to confirm that we have the correct pension records for our vet. The burial records at Evergreen only give name John McCarthy/McCarty and no date at all. If I could confirm her marriage date this may solve our puzzle! Also if anyone is researching thease surnames would love to hear from you.
