*Jane Hennen, daughter of Thomas and Anne Hennen, born Whiteley (now Gilmore) Twp., Greene Co., Pa. 2-14-1806; died Pine Grove, Va. (now W.Va.) 8-6-1852; married John Alley, son of John and Agnes Alley, born Whiteley Twp., Greene Co., Pa. 2-6-1800; died near Lynn Camp, W.Va. 2-16-1893.

Jane Hennen Alley is buried in the cemetery now known as the Simpson Hill Cemetery at Pine Grove, W.Va. She was the first person to be buried in this cemetery, the site at that time being a part of the home farm of John and Jane Alley. John Alley is buried in the Long Cemetery at Lynn Camp, W.Va.; at the time of his death weather conditions made it impossible to return the body to Pine Grove for burial beside his wife.

John, more commonly known as Jack, and Jane Alley resided in Marshall County, Virginia (now W.Va.) until 1843-45 when they removed to Pine Grove in Wetzel County, Virginia. In 1857, Jane Alley having died, John sold his farm and moved back to Marshall County where he resided in Meade District until his death. John Alley married second, Margaret Franklin.

John Alley was a farmer and land owner; however he was also a Methodist Minister who served various parts of the wilderness area of West Virginia. Records list many marriages performed by Rev. John Alley. The death record of John Alley is especially interesting since it lists his death as having occurred on 3-23-1893 and his date of burial as having been 2-18-1893. Further the cause of his death is listed as "force of habit supposed."

Children of John Alley and Jane Hennen: (1) Thomas Hennen Alley married Mary Steel. (2) Minor Burge Alley died young. (3) Martha Alley married 1. Amos G. Milburn 2. William Fluharty. (4) Rawson Alley. (5) William Leeper Alley married Matilda Sibert. (6) Rebecca Ann Alley married Charles B. Morgan. (7) John Kelley Alley married Martha Ann Richmond. (8) James M. Alley.
