ALLEN, Ezra. I have a Samuel ALLEN b. abt 1755-1759, who named his first son
Ezra, b. 1787. I noticed from census records that this Ezra ALLEN also had a son Samuel.
I have been unable to go any further back with this family line, and I was hoping
someone might have more information on the Ezra ALLEN of Stephentown.

ALLEN, PETERSON. Seeking information about g-g-grandmother of different names.
She's listed as Sarah ALLEN on her son's marriage license; as Sarah A. Allen per
American Ancestry; as Sarah A. Forrest per headstone/family Bible; as Sarah Deforat
per Biographical Review (says she's from Albany). Sarah was b. abt 1852
m. 21 June 1873 in Troy to George Washington PETERSON (2nd marriage?). The 1860
Albany census lists Sarah A. Allen 9 with parents William A. & Rowena. There's
no Sarah Forrest/DeForrest/Deforat in the 1860 Albany census. I am trying to ascertain
whether a Sarah A. Allen married a DeForest (or variation of surname) prior to
1873 in or around Albany, NY.
