Kim I noticed from your message the surname of Allison. My gggrandfather John F. Deemer traded his farm on Hillcrest in New Cumberland or New Manchester, WV to a Sherman Allison. Would this be your line of Allison? or have you ever heard of this trade. It probably took place in the mid 1880's or early 1890's. Any information or help would be appreciate. Thank you, Donna donna_negri@netzero.com
