Husband of Lizzie Allen
Married: 5 Feb 1868 in Andrew County, Missouri

Son of Lewis Boone Allen 1794 – 1871 and wife Chloe 1805 – 1869

Children of John & Lizzie
Gabrilla ALLEN 1869 –
Charles L (Dr.) ALLEN 1870 – 1934
Britt ALLEN 1872 –
Children orphaned in 1880 when John died, wife Lizzie having died in 1875. They went to live with Grandmother Hannah Painter Knappenberger.

From early records and his marriage record, we know that his parents named him Jonathan. He must have preferred "John", and since he had no brother named John, apparently he changed it. The dates and wife prove this out, that this is the same person. (Of the hundreds, it is the only time I have seen this extended family group use John to shorten Jonathan.)
