Henry Clay Allen and Edna Eliza Timmons

My second great grandfather paternally was Henry Clay Allen. I knew the name, but it took me lots of time and research to connect this Henry with the Henry I knew I was looking for. Many people had suspected Henry Clay Allen was my great, great grandfather:

A reference for Henry as the Father of William Louis Allen:

I decided to see if these two were living closely when the 1880 federal census was taken. They were listed six pages apart. Henry's family is on page 40.  Edna and her 8 month old son William is listed living with her parents the Timmons on page 45.
