John Wesley Allen of Illinois
I'm looking for information on the parents of John Wesley Allen, born Oct. 2, 1852 in Barry, Pike County, Illinois.His sister, Amanda Jane, was born April 29, 1859.Their parents surname was Knight but they died of cholera when John and Amanda were children. They were adopted by James and Mary (Holton) Allen. There were 2 other siblings, George and Douglas Allen, but they may have been the natural children of the Allens.I am trying to find the Knight parents, as well as any info on James and Mary Allen.I have the descendants of John, Amanda, and George, but still looking for descendants of Douglas.Any help will be greatly appreciated.
