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...

Wallen Family Genforum Genealogy.com - James R. Wallen, 15 October 2001:
...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.
At the age of 25, Alexander married Margaret Boyle, 15, the daughter of a neighbouring farmer and they settled in Florence. As I wrote before, they had eleven children, four of whom died in early childhood, including a son named Elias. Elias would have been born around 1828 or so. This is according to information that has been passed onto me. There were no other children named Elias. ...

The information on Alexander's father in this article seems to be totally wrong except for his dying in Ohio:

Commmemorative Biographical Record of the County of Lambton Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1907; pp.138-139:
Capt. John Wallen, one of the representative citizens and a prosperous oil producer of Oil Springs, Lambton County, was born Sept 2, 1833, in Kent County, Ont., on the River Sydenham.
Alexander and Margaret (Boyle) Wallen, the parents of Capt. Wallen, were born respectively in Ohio and Canada, the father in 1801. He was a nephew of the distinguished soldier, Col. Kirby, the grandmother of Capt. Wallen being the sister of this noted military man.
James Wallen, father of Alexander, was a soldier in the British service and took part in the war of 1812. Later he settled in Dover township, Kent County, Ont., and he died in Ohio, survived by his only son. During his residence in Kent County Alexander Wallen served as a colonel of militia. He was a pioneer settler in his locality, where he followed farming until his death. He married Margaret Boyle, born in Kent County, a most estimable woman, who was noted for the kindness and goodness of her life. Three of their sons still survive namely: Henry, a retired miller, of Dresden, Kent County; Andrew K., a successful business man in the State of Illinois; and John, of whom this biography treats particularly.
