Facts and Events
Mary Alloway Braught provided some of this information by memory in discussion about 1998, but detailed information on this family was received mostly from family notes shared by Barbara Braught Olson 2001. She thought all children of both of Samuel's two wives died in Iowa (some around Creston, others in other Iowa areas). Barbara recalled personally knowing many of Samuel Anderson Alloway children when she was a child, but does not recall more than names. In Iowa Genealogical Surname Index Vol. 5, 1990, pg. 5 are the following listed by Juanita Alloway, 855 Greenway Ct., Derby, KS 67037:Alloway, Abijah, b. 1824 IN, d. 1874 KS, m.1846 IN to Arnspiger, MalindaAlloway, Harold Jay, m. 1942 to Ehrman, Juanita Hoyt (probablyl this Juanita Alloway above)Alloway, Hugh Valentine, b. 1884 in KS, d. 1958 KS, m. 1918 KS to Ruttgen , Josephine Gertrude.Alloway, Jay, b. 1857 IA, d. 1928 KS, m 1881 to Tanner, Frances. Alloway, John, b. 1782 VA, d. 1863 VA, m. 180? to Jane ? Alloway, John, m. 1863 to Burns, Anna (Mary)Alloway, Mary Ethel, b. 1901 IA, m. 1924 to Braught, Herschel Franklin. Of course, speculation suggests that a family descendancy of this data could begin with John, b. 1782 in VA; Abijah, b. 1824 in IN; Jay, b. 1857 in IA; Hugh, b. 1884 in KS; Harold, b. abt 1920 probably IA. How she added my aunt Mary Ethel is a mystery, but perhaps a contact with her would provide more data. Also search relevant census data, etc. His obituary confirms this vital data and reports that he moved to Johnson Co., Iowa in 1856 and in 1887 moved to Adair Co., IA. He and Mary Von Stein of North LIberty, IA had six children, one deceased before he died. The History of Johnson County (Creston), Iowa pg. 777 reports that Samuel Alloway, a farmer residing in Madison Twp P.O. Shueyville, furnished the Amana Colonies with lime and stone from his quarry. He and Mary E. VonStein had four children: Samuel J. (note the J.), Francis (not Frank) M., George W., and Oscar H. He was a member of the United Brethern Church, Penn Lodge 289 IOOF at N. Liberty, a democrat and opened the Anderson Quarry in 1862 near McCollister Creek (all paraphrased and summarized). See gravestone photo provided by Elaine Kalostos. |
