The government mistakenly put "J.A. Allen" on the Civil War headstone for James. It's that smaller headstone next to Rachel's headstone. The family put corrected data relating to James on the back of Rachel's headstone.
The obituary for James W. Allen Jr. mistakenly had him as James R. Allen. The birth record for daughter Effie mistakenly had James as James D. Allen. The birth record for daughter Rachel Augusta Allen had his name right as James W. Allen.
Rachel's daughter Effa Ellen "Effie" Allen was b. 12 Sept. 1869 in Falls Twp., Hocking Co., OH. In the 1900 Logan, Hocking Co., OH census, Effie was still single living with her sister Rachel Augusta "Augusta" (Allen) Kittsmiller and her family. I haven't found anything on Effie past that 1900 census.
