She married James Tadlock ("J. T.") Allen on 19 Dec 1832 in Jackson County, Indiana. Her parents were William Goen and Mary Frances Raines.

Her 1850 census says she was born in North Carolina. The letter attached here says she was born in TN.

Her 1850 census gives likely children as Sarah, 13, Charity, 10, William J., 5, and Arrena, 2.
She died 18 Sept 1959 or 1858 (the letter says 1858).

Her husband remarries to a Lucinda Russell. Their 1860 census shows William, Arrena and Rhoda Ann, age 7. Rhoda Ann would be Mary Polly Goen Allen's daughter. On that census, a Lewin Russel, age 23, farm hand, is living with them. I suspect he may be Lucinda Russell's brother.
