Event Notes Note (1) at Poor Farm Note (2) Age 62 in his 1942 death record is clearly incorrect, as is birth year 1882 on his headstone. The WV Births Index show that he was born in Doddridge County on Nov 14 1871, a son of Edgar & Mary N. Allen. His age in the 1880 Census was 7, and in the 1900 Census it was 28, in both cases listing him as a son of Edgar & Mary N. Allen in Doddridge County.Name Index
