I have an Allison mystery I need help with. I have a gg-grandmother, Margaret J. Allison (Maggie), born 1852 in Ga died 1921, Hall Co., GA. She was married to a Lawrence S. Smith, son of James H. Smith (Union District, SC), married to 1st wife Esther Aikens of SC. Maggie's mother was a Mary Ann Smith (said to have been related somehow to her husband's family) and father was "Chapelton" Allison. Family stories said that Chapelton (Chap) was nicknamed this because he served as a chaplain in the Civil War. He and Mary Ann divorced and both remarried. Mary Ann died in the 1903 Hall Co. tornado. I have no other information on Chapelton or what his real name was. Story says that he had a daughter from his 2nd wife that never married and lived to be 102 yrs. old. For any who are connected to Smiths as well, James H. Smith's father is said to be Rucker Smith married to a Nancey Posey. Any info on this family would be appreciated as well. Thank you! Rhonda
