My family lives in Grafton, ON, connection to Allens through father Paul Allen Sweet (b. 3 Aug 1955), whose mother Rosemary (Allen) Sweet (b. 4 Jul 1931) was only child of Albert Franklin Allen (b. 23 Aug 1900 d. 4 Sep 1987) & Mary Pauline Mulhall. Albert's parents were Charles Morris Allen (b.1 Jan 1870 d.28 May 1945) & Eunice Drinkwalter both bur in Eddystone cem close to family home in Grafton. Charles' parents were Morris Allen (b.6 Jul 1835 d.14 Dec 1912) & Ruth Bradley. Morris' parents were Ira Allen (b.1803 d.1870) & Permelia. Ira is buried at Academy Hill Cemetery, also in Grafton, along with uncle Ebenezer Allen (b. 1770 d.1845). Tracking down Ira's parents was confusing because of cousins living at the same time also named Ira. With the help of some other researchers, am resonably convinced that Ira's parents were Henry Allen (b. abt 1772 d.6 Jul 1832) & Phebe. Suspect that Henry and Ebenezer might be sons of Weston, but this is mainly through clues given to me by other researchers. Any help you could give me would be wonderful.
