Based on both the number of years Allen and Mollie were married (14) and the fact that she states she is the mother of five living children (presumably Gertie, Flood, Mattie, Virginia and Alphonso), it would appear that Clabie is Allen's son from a previous marriage. Additionally, in 1910, she is shown of the mother of six living children, presumably Gertie, Flood, Mattie, Virginia, Alfonso and Wilbur.
Allen married Mattie Anderson on 22 Dec 1879 in Robertson County, Texas. Mattie was born before 1854; died after 1885. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
