Additional Comments:
Transcriber’s Notes:
1.  In the 1860 census, taken in September of that year, George and Eliza Allen 
were not living on this land.  They in Richmond Township and were fairly well 
off farmers with 8 children living in the home.  George and Eliza disappear 
from the census in 1870.
2.  In September when the 1860 census was taken, Absolom and Jane were living 
in Camden Township of Ray county and listed as a farmer with $2200 in real 
estate.  I am not sure exactly where in Camden township but judging from the 
names of neighbors in the 1860 census and land owners on the 1877 atlas of Ray 
County, it was probably in the same general area.
