Finding John R: 2. Google the Dead

Marian our friend, also an ancestor tracker,  tells us that there were a lot of Allisons around Greencastle, Pennsylvania. Why she knows this ….is a mystery.   But genealogists know things. Facts stick to them. 

Stella looks into Greencastle and uncovers passel of possible Allisons. She also discovers it is home to the Allison Antrim Museum.  

Wow. 

A museum with our name on it: Allison.   

Surely they know something.

Greencastle Pennsylvania founded by  Colonel John Allison in 1782.  

But what's an Antrim? 

 Wikipedia, the genealogist's friend, says that Antrim is a 
Township in Franklin County Pennsylvania. Greencastle 
is in Franklin County.  It is also a county in Northern Ireland. 

Are these hints? Lewis' middle name is Franklin. Lewis thought he was Irish... or Scot.

More research needed.
