ALLEN, WEIGLE posted by Dick Weigle on Tuesday, July 3, 2001

I am looking for family information on Benjamin Weigle and his wife, Elizabeth Allen. Benjamin was born in PA, about 1851. His parents were Jacob Weigle and Mary Harnish. The family moved from PA to Carroll Co., IL about 1854 to 1856. Benjamin moved to Saunders Co., NE before 1877. He was married to Elizabeth Allen Jan. 18, 1877 probably in Dodge Co. NE. The 1880 census shows that the family was in Douglas, Saunders Co., NE and included a daughter, Flora. Benjamin's brother, Elias, my grandfather, was living with them at that time. Elias returned to IL where he married Flora Rebecca Chitty in 1884. Benjamin also had a sister, Elizabeth in MO and another brother, Henry in OK. So far, I have been unable to find Benjamin, Elizabeth and their family after 1880. Any help will be appreciated. dweigle@iinet.com
