Dale Rubel shows she was born in East Feliciana Parish, LA as a daughter of William ALLEN and Hannah A. PRIDE of Virginia. However, he notes that one of his daughter's tombstone indicates father as John Allen more research to be done in this area. Connee Kroeger (clbkroeger@aol.com) cannot confirm first name of John, many records indicate that he was known as William Allen. She may have been born in Mississippi versus Louisiana.
