In Search of the Elusive Sally Allen

I am down in Ft. Wayne, IN geeking out as I search the genealogy library here for my ancestor Sally Allen. 

I've heard about my DAR (Daughters of American Revolution) membership application, they are fine with all my ancestors with the exception of Sally Allen.  Ok, if you are not into genealogy - I know your eyes are starting to glass over - that's ok....lol

Sally is my 4th great grandmother.  She was born around 1786 (and yes..the date is 1786) in Orange County North Carolina; married John O'Daniel in 1800 and I have her on the 1850 census at her son's (Greenberry)  home at age 64.  I found her listed in her father's will and marriage index of her and her husband John.  And then she had disappeared....

The DAR would like me to see if I can find more documentation connecting her to her son Green.  I've found some fascinating info, but nothing to answer my question of Sally....oh well, I still have tomorrow. :-)
