Individual Details

The 1900 census was taken by Nathan O. Allen, brother of my great grandmother, Josie Allen who married John J. Hays, a son of Elias Hays who was Ardena's uncle. Elias Hays' daughter Ann Eliza Hays also married Henry Clay Allen, another of Josie's brothers. Elias Hays and family never lived in Polk Co but seem to have gone from Johnson Co to Crawford Co. I have always wondered how these couples might have met. Ann Eliza & Henry Clay Allen were married in 1868; John & Josie Allen Hays were married 1876; then Ardena & Michael Duggan married in 1878 and were living next door to Porter Allen in 1880 - Porter was still another brother of Henry, Nathan & Josie Allen.
