However, a 13 year old Evon Allen was living in the home of George Thompson MacKechney and Annie MacKechney in Shelby County, Texas. George was shown as age 63, his wife Annie, age 32. Evon was listed as a "sister-in-law." Could this be the same Evon? If so, how was the 32 year old Annie related to her? Could she have been a half sister? Or is she an aunt? Or are these two different Evon Allens?
