Hello Group: I am hoping that I can break down this BRICKWALL.
My GrGrGrandparents: Samuel & Sarah Allen.
1860 DeKalb they are living in the poor house.
1865 head count census all are living together with an older man, who this is I do not know.
By 1870 Sarah is dead. But I do know that they left DeKalb to go to Kane Co.
Between 1865-1870 Sarah Allen dies. Cannot locate anything on her.
In 1881 (according to my other GrGrGrandfather's Civil War file) Sam Allen, Jr.
States his father Samuel Allen died in 1881. But where? When?
I have been trying for years to get Sarah's maiden name, and where in England are they from. My suspect some where around the Lincolnshire area.
As that is where the rest of my family is from. No one has been as hard to find as are Samuel & Sarah. I cannot go back any further it has dead ended here for years.
There might be a clue in the Biographical Sketches of Kane Co.
I know in one of them, it lists a few members of my family. But I have just found
out that there are 3 volumes. I thought there was only one.
I am hoping that some kind soul can check all three volumes and see if we could find
Samuel & Sarah. Reason being, they did my other side of the family. There might be a mention. And as my GrGrandfather (also) Samuel Allen was in one (he was a teamster), but that was reguarding my Sturgis family line, as he married one of their
daughters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
Kind reguards,
