I just found your posting from 12/98 concerning the Edward Allen family.
You asked about a James born after the 1870 census.I have the 1880 census record and there was not a James listed.In 1880 there was only Elizabeth age 59 and the 4 youngest children (John, Elizabeth, Edward, and William).They were still living in Blacksburg, Va at that time.Edward and
Elizabeth also had at lease one older child, Sarah who was born while they were still in England.According to my Grandmother they came to America when Sarah was just a few weeks old.She was 24 in the 1870 census and was married to Thomas A. Davis {originally from Charlotte Co., VA, she was his
second wife}.
Sarah and Thomas Davis were my Great-Grand parents.
Do you know where in Pa. Edward & Elizabeth lived before coming to Va. or any other information you have will be very much appreciated?I have just recently made this link in my family and am very anxious to get as much info as possible.If you have interest in any of Sarah's descendants,
please let me know and I will be glad to share any info I have.
