I am looking for a Jacob (Jake) Allen who possibly lived in Bollinger County in the mid to late 1800's. He moved to MO. with his brother John W. Allen and a couple of sisters(one married a Keith and the other perhaps a Myers) along with another brother(unknown?) from NC around 1850. John settled in Washington County. Jacob Allen supposedly was paralized in an accident and spent a great deal of his life in a wheel chair. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
