Does anyone have any information about Ethan (or Eaton) Allen, probably born in Canada in 1800, had a son Ethan Allen in 1820, married Elizabeth Dukes in Coles CO IL in 1832, in 1834 they moved to Montgomery TX where their oldest daughter Cyntha Allen was born, who later married Oscar Buck. Their third daughter, Hattie, married the gambler/sporting man Luke Short about 1886. Cyntha was my great great grandmother.

I'm trying to find Ethan Allen's (1800) father, and what happened to his son Ethan. They all lived in IN in the 1850 Census. Also, I believe there is a DNA link between Cyntha and the Patriot that I've not yet found; she is reported in newspapers to be the niece of the Patriot. I also have a DNA link to Virgil Allen of Texas, and to Frank Herbert Allen to migrated from Canada to the Midwest to TX, but I can't find the genealogical link. Thanks, Tim Riter, timriter@aol.com, 951 704 5986
