• I don't know when Jelab was born other than that she was born by August 1820, when the 1820 US Census record was recorded. Because many family trees in Ancestry has her born about 1819, and her parents were supposed to have been married in December 1819, it is being said that she isn't the daughter of Levi Allen and his wife Tabitha Miles Allen, and that she is the child of Tabitha Miles Allen before she married Levi Allen. There is no proof of that and it just seems like a made up theory.

• Re above note: 1870 Census shows the Tabitha that married Thomas M Stringer was born circa 1835. There are a number of Tabitha's in this Allen family. However this disproves that she was born out of wedlock!
