Biography
I believe Allen to be the son of Eber Tryon and Amy Barber. My reasons:
- 1) The name Allen or Alan is at that period very unusual
- 2) This Allen was born at the time when Eber Tryon was known to be living in New York.
- 3) He appears in the 1850 census in the household of Eber Tryon and wife Amy.
- 4) He named his only son Francis, perhaps in honor of his sister Frances.
Allen married Betsy Ann Sherman in Knox County, Illinois on 5 Sept 1857.[1]

I am recording this here as a possible clue to Tryons in Knox, Illinois. The female, Frances here may be the sister, even if J A is not Allen B.
1860 we dont have wherabouts for Allen or Frances yet, however the other woman here is identified as Julia W Tryon, clearly not Allen's wife.
