The 1850 Allen family appears later in the 1860,1870 and 1880 Census in Menasha,Winnebago Co. which is adjacent to Portage Co. Anthony is listed as a RR Fireman in the 1880 and as an "engineer" on daughter Sarah's birth record in 1891. The WHS death index lists a "Anton A" Allen d.18 Jan 1893 in Winnebago Co.and I have ordered a copy. Looks very promising that this "Anthony" is the one,but will look for confirmation in the obit and death record and the marriage record as well. Thanks again.
