Biography

Fidelia was born in Austinburg, Ashtabula County, Ohio right about the time her parents moved to the new settlement. Her father, Moses, was one of the first land owners, buying Lot 98 of Austinburg Township in 1807 from S. Rockwell, et.al., one of the Connecticut investors in the Western Reserve of Ohio. The census was not collected in 1810 in the new state of Ohio but the family appears in both the 1820 and 1830 census with most of their nine children still at home.

Fidelia married John Allen (a recent emigrant from Ireland) on January 30, 1836. ^[1]

1850 census -- the family was living in Parkman, Geauga County, Ohio working a 36 acre farm. Children Alvin 15; Eleanor 14, and John 9 were at home.

In 1856, they bought Fidelia's brother Alvin's farm in Austinburg Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio and returned to Eagleville .

1860 census -- living in Eagleville on a 55 acre farm. An infant is part of the household, Lewis A. Dilley. His mother Lovisa was Fidelia's youngest sister and died (perhaps in childbirth) in January 1860. ^[2]

1870 census -- they seem to have sold the farm and John listed his occupation as "laborer" in the census. ^[3]

In the 1880 census, Fidelia and her husband John were living with their son, John W. and his family. ^[4]
