I am searching for any information on Eliphelat Gilman Allyn. I believe he was born about 1803 in Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut. His wifes name was Huldah P. I believe the P. stands for Phelps, but I have no proof of that yet. Eliphalet also went by just Gilman for his first name. I believe he is the father of William Phelps Allyn, but I don't have proof of that yet. Eliphalet Allyn is in the 1810 Windsor, Hartford County census, with Phelps for neighbors. He is in the 1820 Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut census with a man named WILLIAM PHELPS living right next door. I believe William Phelps may be Huldah P.'s father. My William Phelps Allyn was born 1822, Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut, of that I am certain. Eliphalet is also in the 1830 and 1840 census with the same Phelps neighbors. Then last weekend I find this man named Eliphalet G. Allyn and his wife name Huldah P. Allyn buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Muscatine County, Iowa, also buried there is a daughter named Charlotte Amelia Allyn. I found them on Ancestry, and I also have a copy of the WPA cemetery records for that cemetery that confirm their burial there. Charlotte Amelia Allyn died 28 Apr 1850 Greenwood Muscatine, Bloomington dau of: E. G.; dau of: H. P.;17 Cemeteries in Muscatine County, A-E Eliphalet G. Allyn died 18 Nov 1862 Greenwood Muscatine, Bloomington 59 Cemeteries in Muscatine County, A-E Huldah P. Allyn died 12 Aug 1854 Greenwood Muscatine, Bloomington wif of: E. G.;58 Cemeteries in Muscatine County, A-E My William Phelps Allyn lived in Muscatine County, Iowa in the 1870 and 1880 census, only a few miles from this cemetery! I cannot find William or Eliphalet in the 1850 census, I believe they were on the move then. Also, William Phelps Allyn's first daughter's name is Amelia, possibly named after his sister buried in Greenwood cemetery. All of this is enough to make me 75 percent positive this is William's father, whom I have been searching for, for 4 years! I am almost certain my Allyn line goes back to the Matthew Allyn line of Ancient Windsor, but now I need help with Eliphalet Gilman Allyn. I have never ran across that name before in my Allyn research in Connecticut. Can somebody please give me some help on Eliphalet and what line he came from! Thanks!
