Allen & Everitt families - Warren Co NJ
I am looking for descendants of Alenah Allen and Epenetus Everitt. Alenah was the daughter of John Allen and Azuba Read. She is named as such in the will of her grandfather, Isaac Read, Sr. of Knowlton Township, Warren County, New Jersey (died 1838). Alenah was called Lanah Marye Allen in Isaac's will. She was a minor in 1838. As Azuba Read Allen died in 1823, this would palce her birth between 1817 and 1823. I have a marrriage of Alenah to Epentus Everitt in Warren County on 5 October 1839. Two children appear on the 1850 census: John C.A. Everitt (born c. 1846) and Margaret Maria Everitt (born c. 1849). I assume there were probably other children. Epentus and Alenah are buried in Swayze Cemetery in Hope Township, Warren County, New Jersey. Epentus Everitt 18 May 1818 through 17 February 1893. Alenah Everitt, died 5 December 1876, aged 55 years, 10 months and 9 days.
