Wallen Family Genforum Genealogy.com - James R. Wallen, 14 October 2001:
My ggggrandfather was Elias Wallen who died in Butler County, Ohio in 1805. His wife was indeed Mary Kerby. Seven years after Elias' death, she married Thomas Fream, a Cincinnati tailor (in 1812) and moved to Monticello, Mississippi. She and Elias had two children, Alexander J. and Jane. Jane went with her mother and new husband to Mississippi, while son, Alexander, settled in Canada.
Alexander married Margaret Boyle (1826?). They were married for thirty years. They had eleven children but many did not survive beyond childhood, including a son, Elias. My great-great grandfather was their sixth child, John, born in 1833...

...to the best of my knowledge, Elias Wallen and Mary Kerby Wallen had only the two children, Alexander Joseph and Jane. Elias and Mary Kerby Wallen married in 1798. She was sixteen and her family was from Grosse Point, Michigan (although a couple of her brothers moved to Kent County, Ontario.) Alexander Joseph Wallen was born in 1801 in Detroit. Elias Wallen was then the Sheriff of Wayne County. The family later moved to Hamilton, Ohio. After his father's death in 1805, Alexander lived in Hamilton, Ohio until he was twelve (1813) before heading to Fort Erie, Ontario to live with his uncle, James Kerby, a Colonel in the Canadian Militia. At 19, he moved to Florence, Ontario where his uncle George Kerby owned sveral enterprises.

The following article seems to have confused Elias Wallen with someone else (perhaps James Kerby, uncle of Alexander Wallen), and appears to be totally wrong about the father of Alexander, except for his dying in Ohio:
