BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF HELEN JANE (ALLEN) MADDEN

Helen Jane (Allen) Madden descends from the Bodley, Brock, Finnell, Hare, Kiger and related families of Greene County, Pennsylvania and Monongalia County, West Virginia.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The Helen Jane (Allen) Madden Collection photographs were found in a trunk from the home of Robinson Hare [1836-1907] and his wife, Nancy (Fleming) Hare [1840-1931], in Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. Their youngest daughter Eva Hare, who never married or had children, was the last of the family to occupy the home. Upon her death the trunk and its contents were passed to her grandnieces and grandnephews. Helen Jane (Allen) Madden, the daughter of Dora Gail Hare and her husband, Isom Nathan Allen, came into possession of the trunk, which sat in her basement for many years. Dora Gail (Hare) Allen was the daughter of William Silas Hare [1864-1937] and his wife, Lydia Jane Brock [1869-1935]. Through this family line Helen Jane also received Brock family photographs which were added to the trunk's contents. The trunk and its contents were passed from Helen Jane (Allen) Madden to her son Peter Madden and his wife, Debi, who shared the photographs with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives Project in 2007.

The collection was initially arranged by family; however, additional photos continue to be added to the end of the collection as they are shared for scanning. For best results, use the MADD Collection Index to look for specific individuals or subjects.
