I think you will find a LOT of information and can work backwards to
find out if you are connected to Ethan Allen.Many people were named
Obadiah.I have lots of them in my line - but they came from Samuel Allen
of Windsor, CT and not MA.Go back through "children" and you will find
information that way.I found we were not kin to Ethan Allen, as my grandmother always told us, but very, very, distant cousins - like 12 times removed through some ancestors that came in very early and the brothers
married etc - not through my Samuel Allen but his kin folk.
Hope this helps -
Allens are hard to pin down as so many of the names are exactly alike or similar.I checked out Allin, Allan, etc - spelling in the early years was not
exact science!
Best of hunting!
