file 84117-120-55 shows Justin F. ALLEN b. at Hilsdale, Columbia Co.,
N.Y., 1795. Personal research over many years in a variety of original sources
shows he was a son of Samuel ALLEN, b. by 1755, prob. d. in Summit
Township, Schoharie Co., N.Y., betw. 1810 and 1820. By 1786 Samuel ALLEN
m. Jane, whose g.s. in the Old Dugway Cemetery, Summit, states she was b. 20 Jan
1767 and d. 3 May 1857. The 1850 census implies she was b. in N.Y. state.
Samuel ALLEN was likely a brother of Lovina ALLEN whose m. in 1797
to Clement DAVIS was the 1st m. in the Town of Summit. Samuel & Jane
____ ALLEN had four ch.: Ezra, Frastus, Abigail, and Justin E.

(A38) KING/WHEELER - See Daniel F. Secomb’s History of the
Town of Amherst, Hillsborough Co., N.H. (1883, 1972), p. 850, marriages:
1780, 27 Jan., William KING, Jr., and Lavina WHEELER. The
KING section of the genealogy is thin…The m. entry suggests that
William’s dad was William. The use of “Jr.,” however, is not foolproof….if
William KING, husband of Lavina, is William KING the teacher,
prob. he was itinerant and came from away. Also have par. of Lavina/Levina
WHEELER.

(A46) GILBERT/MORGAN - Records of Miles MORGAN are found in
Morgan Genealogy, by Nathaniel H. Morgan, appendix; History of the

library. Par. of Prudence GILBERT? She named her 1st son Jonathan.

(A67) LANE - Civil registration was well established in England by
1857 and you can obtain a b. certificate for Charles Henry LANE for 10
pounds sterling from St. Catherine’s House, 10 Kingsway, London, WC2 B6JP
England. The certificate should give the name of the mother as well as the
place of birth. However, there is the poss. that more than one Charles Lane may
have been born in England in Jan. 1857. Do you have any clue as to where in
England he was b.? You might want to visit your closest Mormon (LDS) branch
library and order the microfilm of the birth register index for the first
quarter of 1857 for England. If there is only one C. H. Lane, the 1861 English
census for the area where Charles was b. to locate the family and find the
parishes of birth of the par….I highly recommend joining the family history
society in the county from which your anc. came, once you find this out.

(Al0l) TWOMBLY - William TWOMBLY was b. at Falmouth, Me., now
part of Portland, near Blackstrap Hill, in an area once called Presumpscott. It
was part of the parish of Stroudwater of old Falmouth. He was William
TWOMBLY, son of Solomon4 (Joseph3,
John2, Ralphl) & Isabella (GIBBS)
TWOMBLY. In 1785 Solomon TWOMBLY, his w. & family all became
Shakers when that sect was just getting started in the Falmouth area. Solomon
TWOMBLY was a carpenter and housewright in the old town of Falmouth, and
probably would have removed to the Shaker settlement at Sabbathday Lake had he
lived long enough, but he died just as they were making final plans to settle
there. His remains were carried there, however, and interred in the old
graveyard at Range Hill in South Poland, Me. There is no marker, as was the
Shaker custom. Solomon & his w., who was evidently called Sheba, had had
six ch. before their conversion. Andrew settled in Gorham, Me., after a few
years and had a family there. Susanna d. unm., and is bur. on Range Hill. And
finally your William m. and lived in Poland, Me. I do not know the maiden name
of his w., Dorothy. Do you have any idea what it was? For further details on
the early generations of these families, see the Genealogical Dictionary of
Maine and New Hampshire, by Noyes, Libby, and Davis.
