Research Note

Different profiles for Ephraim Allen need to be thoroughly researched and documented. There has been much confusion as to this individual, spouse, parents, and children. (The Ephraim that died 1747 was not the father of Susannah Allen Oaks Butler. So I am re-attaching her to her correct parents.)
