Notes - Anthony Charles ALLEN b. 1 Jul 1857 at Indian Harbour, d. 8 Jul 1936 at the Dayspring Poor Farm, and his descendants. When he marries, he states that his parents are Christopher and Barbara ALLEN, and it's easy to show that he had a brother named John ALLEN who states the same thing when he marries. It can also be shown from several sources, that wife Barbara is Barbara COVEY, who dies in 1861. In 1863, one Christopher ALLEN of Indian Harbour marries Catherine Ann EISENHAUER and in the 1871 Census of Hackett's Cove, family # 105 is easily identified as Christopher, new wife Catherine, and sons Anthony and John. So the husband of Barbara COVEY is the same man who marries Catherine Ann EISENHAUER.
The SPAH register shows the following births:
Mary Ann ALLEN (1) b. 1 Mar 1824, d/o Christopher & Susannah
John Christopher ALLEN (2) b. 1826-03-08, s/o Christopher & Susannah
George Christopher ALLEN bp. 1830--11-23, s/o Christopher & Catherine [Manuel]
[Note that there is no entry for a son born 1831/1832 as one would expect if there was a son born then.] So it would appear that the husband of Barbara COVEY is either John Christopher 1826 or George Christopher 1830. Once again, the 1871 Census is the key to the puzzle as it shows John ALLEN, age 44 and wife Jane RICHARDSON living next door to Christopher ALLEN age 40. So it is George Christopher who marries Barbara and Catherine.
