David Franklin Allen (about 1855 - about 1920)
have just started researching my Allen family genealogy, but have very little to go on.The main ancestor I am seeking to start my search is my great-grandfather, David Franklin Allen. He was born around 1855, and became a sheriff in Pike County, Illinois around the turn of the century and up to about WWI. He married twice - I don't know his first wife's name, but they had two or three children. He then married Jenny Croft - they had twins who died soon after birth, and then my grandfather, Frank.If anyone has any information to help me begin my search for this branch of the family, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Jennifer M. Allen :)
