Biography

He was the 11th child born to his parents, apparently in Washington County, Indiana, when that area was still part of the Indiana United States Territory. He also lived in Jackson County, Indiana before 1859, then Jackson County. From 1865 until his death, he lived in Sullivan County, Indiana.

The biographical manuscript, mentioned below, says that he married Mary Goen on 20 Dec 1832. County records, however, say that their marriage occurred on 19 Dec 1832. After her death, he married Lucinda Russell.

During 2007 Steve Allen corresponded with Dennis Lancaster who provided images of Mary E. Allen Wilkey, William J. Allen, and his family Bible. The handwriting in the family Bible matches the handwriting of the biographical manuscript.
