John C.3 Allen was born ABT. 1877.
3. Timothy J.2 Allen (Comfort1) was born in St. Johnsville, Montgomery CO, NY December 13, 1828. Timothy died AFT. 1917.
He married twice. He married Unknown First Wife of Timothy. From a letter from T.I.S. Boak, Jr, referring to his wife, Inez (Pat) Allen Boak: "I remember how Pat theorized that the original wife of French descent probably was the first wife which nobody then living had any way of knowing anything about. But Mother loved the idea of it!!"
He married Emily Perry. Emily was born in Little Falls, NY or Broome County, NY ABT. 1851. Albert Allen's death certificate says she was born in Little Falls. Franklin Allen's death notice on the web says she was born in Broome County. Calvin Allen's birth notice indicates that her name was Sarah E and she was born in Broom County. At that time in 1893 she is listed as having had 9 children, 8 of whom were alive in March 1893. 1880 Census shows: Timothy J Allen - 51 Emily (wife) - 29 Warren (son) - 26 Franklin (son) - 13 Edith (daughter) - 9 John C (son) - 3 Albert (son) - 1 Assumption at this point is that oldest child from first wife. Letter from TIS Boak, Jr, 1/6/2001: "I was reminded of several things that your mother and I discussed which can be demonstrated by the census data. The oldest son's occupation was "Roving Around". One thing I don't recal is that "Old Tim" was 51 in 1880 and thus was 83 when Mother was born. Assuming that she was a very precocious child (which I must assume!) let's say she was 6 when she first met Gramps. Thus 89 or more -- I wonder how interested he was in little girls or vice versa. But she did say she remembered him! May have found parents in 1840 census: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/census/1840stjoh n.html Comfort Allen in the 1840 census of St.Johnsville, Montgomery Co, had a family as follows: Comfort Allen aged 30-40 wife aged 30-40 Male child aged 10-15 (fits with Timothy J) Male child aged 5-10 Male child aged 0-5 Female child aged 10-15 Female child aged 5-10
