Hi Mickey,
I know I am responding to a VERY OLD thread, but I am interested to find out what, if anything you've learned about Chester Ephraim Allen from CT who married Eunice Baldwin or Curtis and removed to Augusta, NY and then removed to Galesburg, IL.
Chester E. Allen is also my ancestor, but I am descended from his son Homer C. Allen, Sheldon's younger brother. Most of the information I've gotten have come from the bios in the different histories of Knox County, Illinois. Some of the information contained in these books are contradictory.
I've had a real hard time trying to tie them in to any of the East coast Allens or the Baldwins or the Curtis families. I've got some info from other trees on Ancestry, but there's no documentation and some of the info doesn't hold up under cross examination.
I am also trying to resolve an Allen family mystery in Galesburg from around 1907. The circuit clerk in Galesburg was less than helpful.
Thanks,
Jon
