Great website! John W. Chandler, who was an attorney and judge in La Grange in the 1850's was my ggggrandfather. His daughter, Margret Chandler, married Mat S. Wallace who located in LaGrange after the Civil War. While there he was a photographer, owned a livery stable along with other endeavors. I'm always interested in anyone researching the Chandler, Wallace or Dunkin families.
I'm looking for information on Henry A. Allen and Ralph C. Allen who moved to Somerville in 1899. Family history indicates they purchased a sawmill (plantation) in 1904. I'm looking for details. Also, There was a son, Leonard C. who was born in Somerville in 1909 who may have died there before 1920. Any information would be fantastic. I'm planning on being in Somerville about June 19-20, 2009. Thanks
