Notes

Traveled with her daughter and son in-law Monroe Larkins on the Oregon trail to Oregon in 1847 as a widow. (From Gladys Chrisman's family history). I have not found any records to confirm this. An entry in Prairie Pioneers of Illinois, Vol. 2, ed Beth Rochefort, 1988, p. 105, submitted by descendant Marjorie E. (Glenn) Haws, says Isaac D. Glenn d. in 1850 in Magnolia IL, and his wife Sarah d.in 1879 in Magnolia IL, implying that she was not a widow in 1847, and that she did not travel the Oregon trail. Marriage record found: !Marriage: Crawford Co., Indiana, from state archives and/or Crawford Co., courthouse, listing of marriage records at http://home.cwnet.com/dynasty/inmcra.htm shows: "ALLEN, Sarah & GLENN, Isaac, 14 Oct 1819" Other ALLEN records include: Allen, Jane & Allen, William, 23 Apr 1822 Allen, Marcy & Allen, Jacob, 5 Dec 1822 Allan, Hiram & Glenn, Ester, 22 Aug 1825 Allen, Archibald & Enlow, Susanna 22 Jul 1819 Allen, David & Akres, Precila, 19 Jun 1823 Of the above, Archibald Allen b. 29 Jan 1799 Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., Ky, d. 30 Mar 1855 Crawford Co., Indiana, m.
