Is your ancestor documented here?
Data, photos, documents and memorabilia pertaining to additional lines of descent from William Allum are offline -- but not computerized or scanned.
The location of William Allum before he appeared in the 1790 census in Washington County, PENNSYLVANIA was Harford County, MARYLAND. Click the link below titled Pedigree Chart of William Allum 1st of Maryland and Pennsylvania for an introduction to this web site and to read specifically about William.
Because a westward migration after the Civil War beckoned some of our ancestors from Washington and Greene counties, PA to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Montana--even to California-- census citations within these pages capture their locations and relocations at ten-year intervals through the most recently-released 1930 Federal census. (A goal is to document each Allum for each census year.)
