Biography

Father Moses Arbogast & Mother Sara Elizabeth (Wimer) Zickafoose

Family 1 Fanny (Frances) Riffle, Family 2 Mary Anderson

Allen married twice, and raised two large families.

His mixed first and second family appears multple times in the 1860 census, in at least three different locations at Randolph County, West Virginia. Possibly the family was in the process of moving that year from one home to another nearby. Perhaps multiple census takers visited at different times, because most of the names are duplicated even within the same family number, though on dfferent pages.
