Individual Details
Harriett Allen
(10 May 1803 - Jul 1855)
George Conn was first married to Eunice Cheney, 25 Jun 1823, Vigo Co IN (Indiana State Library Online - Indiana Marriages Through 1850).
Nelson, born 1823, was their son, not the son of Harriet Allen, because George did not marry Harriet until 1829.
October Term, 1825, Circuit Court, Vigo Co IN. John Britton vs. Harriet Britton. Petition for divorce. Granted. "It is ordered ...John Britten be and he is hereby divourced from the cares of Matrimoney With the said Harret Britton and it is further ordered adjudged and decreed that the said Harriet Britton be and she is hereby released from the cares of matrimoney With the said John Britton."
Although the date of Harriet's death has been passed down as 8 Jul 1845 - she was very much alive in the 1850 census. Perhaps she died in 1855...
