Sent by Francis Hill. (parents also buried in the Ebenezer Cem.)Eleanor, mother of Nancy, died 20 June 1877 age 55 yrs 4 mos 25 days. A
George H. Abernathy is also buried in the same Ebenezer Cem. died July 12,
1872 aged 22 ys 25 dy. Pictures taken by Larry Anderson, 1985.
George Allen was born about 1836 in New York, NY., stories are that his
parents died when he was young and he was raised by two maiden aunts, names
unknown. He ran away when he was 15 years old then nothing is known about him until he married Matilda Emeline Hiatt. They were married by Justice of Peace Alex Wilson. George was 27 at this time, so for 12 years we cannot find a trace of him.
Matilda was a school teacher. It is said that she died in childbirth,
there is no baby grave next to hers so it may be buried in the same casket as
hers as they so often did then.
Another interesting story about George Allen is from Charlotte Allen's
grand daughter, who is a Morman and lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her name is Jo Hermanson. Her story was told by her grandmother who was Georges daughter, the story goes George came over to America by way of the Hudson River and enlisted in the Army at age 17 but was rejected because of his age. He came from England, also his parents and sisters were burned to death in a forest fire in Iowa. George didn't get caught in it as he was in town that day.
Mabel Allen thinks this story cannot be entirely true and here are some of the reasons. If he just arrived from England they most likely would not have named him George Washington before getting to America seeing as how England thought of Americans. Think England would have frowned on that, 17 years old was a good age for a soldier at that time, we think its a good idea to stay with the story his sons told.In the Ebenezer Cem., Walnut Twnshp., south of Peru about 2 miles,
Madison Co., Iowa, there are additional Allen families which appear to be the
same generation as George W. Allen. Also there is information on the
headstones which connect these families to the Jones families who are also
buried there. These families are all buried close to other known relatives
and therefore can be assumed that there is a relationship between these
Allen-Jones families and our George Allen.Ann L. wife of P. Allen died 2 Feb. 1860 24 yrs. 6 mo. 1 day. daughter of
E. B. & A. Jones.
Lucy A. L. daughter of I. B. & A. L. Allen died Jan 14, 1858, 1 yr 5 mo 10 days, buried next to the Jones family. Because of the faintness of these stones, it is difficult to read the stones and it was late in the afternoon and getting dark, so could not distinquish some of the names or initials. It is clear, however, that this Lucy is the dau. of the mother Ann L. (Jones) and her husband, rather it be P. or I. B. Allen.Then there are a few families buried next to this family which may also be
a connection to this or one of the other closely related families. SUch as
Hiram Lovelace who died Dec. 11, 1880 and his wife Harriet who was born 17 Mar 1812 and died 22 Feb. 1897. There also is a Steven Robertson died 3 Sept. 1891 at 75 years 6 mo. & his wife Elizabeth died Nov. 17, 1887 aged 71 years 9 mo. 29 days.Amanda Jones, mother of above Ann L., died 3 Feb. 1864 aged 68 years 9
months 11 days.
E. B. Jones wife of above, died 15 Sept. 1851 could not read age in years, but abt 51/4? years, 3 months & 3 days. (born about 1795 which is the date of his wifes birth.)Hazel B. Jones 1890-1944
Benton Jones & Laura Ann Jones
1851 - 1937 1852 - 1936So for those interested in pursuing this further, any of the above names
could fit in as being a relative, aunt, brother or whatever. The Elizabeth
Robertson born about 1816, w/o Steven, could be an aunt. Also the same for
Harriet Lovelace born about 1815, and died 11 Dec. 1880, w/o Hiram Lovelace,
could also have been an Aunt who could fit in according to the story above.
However, there is no information other than proximity as to where they are
buried and the dates to add to any clues. The above could also be associated
with the Smith or Jones, etc. families. However, the I.B. or P. Allen would
almost certainly have to be some tie, a brother or perhaps a cousin.
