Notes:

John Allen, lived in Marcellas in 1810 and 1820 census living near his father, moved to Granby near his brother Weston before 1830, appears in the 1830 and 1840 census living in Granby.

I dont find him in the 1850 census in the area. Remained in Onondaga County.

This is the John Allen in the 1810 census in Marcellas 20010-20100. The only other Allen in Marcellus at this time was his father George.

John Allen and his wife Hannah, of Marcellus, sold lot 41 (50 acres) to Samuel Lamb, the town of Onondaga on 13Mar1816. Apparently was morgated from Daniel Kellogg, 3Jun1814.

More than likely, this John is NOT the John M. Allen who had a wife Eunice and bought Lot 20 in Marcellus May 1, 1817 he being aged 31(b.1786). Sold in 1831 (John and Eunice) to L.Wilcox

A John, who lived in Marcellus, Onondaga Co. MI and apparently was married there to Nancy Wiltsie in 1829. Their first child was born there in 1832. Family migrated to Washtenaw Co. MI in 1834, with Elizabeth, Giles and Nancy Ann being born in Freedom Twp. there.

This is outside Saline, MI about 15 miles SW of Ann Arbor. This John is not to be confused with the John Allen who was very prominent in development of Ann Arbor
1830, John M. Allen(b.bet.1780-1790) in Skantelatas, Onondaga Co.,NY 0201001-000001 (A Rufus Allen, born between 1790 and 1800 lives near by).

Notes:

Married and settled in Saratoga County, NY (Not the Betsey Allen that married Selby Caulkins, she was born 1799 and married in 1814 in Mexico, Oswego Co., NY, her full name was Elizabeth Jane Allen. I think the notes that some sources say she may have had a brother Weston, come from the fact that there was a Weston Allen living in Oswego Co., NY in 1820, but he is not her brother, that Weston is the son of George Allen and Margaret Chase). Our Betsey may be connected to a Robert Sweeten, according to LDS a Betsey Allen was born about 1795 in Saratoga Springs, NY

Notes:

Signed his Will 11Jul1851 and probated without contest on 20Sep1852 in Angelica, Allegany County Court. "David Allen, Margaret West by Henry West her husband, Harvey Thompson special guardian for Hannah J.

The actual Will names only daughter Hannah Jane Allen("..that she become 18 years of age"), son David Allen, and widow Hannah Allen.
Probate documents (Box 7, images 529-539), give death date as 21Jul1851 and names heirs: "Ebenezer Allen2, Western Allen, Patience Sisson, David Allen, all of whom are children of deceased and reside in said county. Sally West Manchester, Ontario Co., NY. Margaret Glenn Rochester, NY of full age and also children of deceased Hannah J. Allen, who resides in Alfred aforesaid is abut fifteen years of age and has no [illegible] guardian." dated 19Jul1852,sign Ebenezer Allen2. (the 2 was next to his name at every reference indicating there is another Ebenezer Allen in the area - that being his uncle Ebenezer that lived next to his father, George). The documents also reference the appointment of Harvey Thompson as especial guardian to Hannah J. Allen.

According to his daughter, Hannah's Surrogate notice in the LeRoy newspaper he also had other descendants that I cant find how they are related (or birthdate, residence): Arthur Andrews, Leona Birch, Mrs. Allen Johnson, Vet Allen, Sadie Lampman, Plina Chase, Jennie Weiser, Carrie Taylor, Satie Allen, Lillian Blackman I can't find how they are connected.
