ALLEN

I am looking for Isaac ALLEN. His wife was Sarah ? They had a son Isaac (wife unknown). Isaac. Jr. had a son named Nathan and a daughter named Sarah. I found this information in the 1850 census. The younger Isaac went to Morgan County, Missouri ca 1857 with Nathan and the younger Sarah. I do not know what happened to the older ALLEN's, but they very likely died. The younger Isaac and Sarah disappeared after 1860 (died, moved elsewhere ?). Nathan married Sarah Caroline BOND in Morgan County, Missouri where he died in 1888. He is buried in the Bond Cemetery in Morgan County. Nathan and Sarah's youngest son--Nathan Oliver-was my grandfather. I can find no information on my ALLEN's before 1850. The only info I have is the 1850 census. Could someone please assist me. I am more than willing to share. Thanks!!
