Hi Jean,
Yes, I found that Obadiah Allen, my conundrum with him is my great-great grandfather Henry B. Allen lists his mother as Ruby Blake on both of his marriage certificates.Obadiah Allen b: 1820 was married to Helen Ferris.I suppose Obadiah and Ruby divorced and he remarried to Helen, but I don't find much record of divorce in the early 19th century.I find little record of Henry B. himself before his first marriage, there are several Henry Allens b: 1835ish but none with an Obadiah or a Ruby until much much later.
Ferrisburgh is only a couple of hours from where I live, I may have to go there to solve this one.
cheers
