I just received an obituary for her that leads me to believe that she was the daughter of John R. Allen and his wife Louisa. She had surviving brothers listed in the obituary Sam S Allen, T. L. Allen, C. L. Allen, W. A. Allen and Tom Allen. John and Louisa Allen were living in Lampasas County in 1880 as Addie and Tom Spears were. They had sons Andrew J. Allen, William A. Allen, Conney L. Allen, Thomas C. Allen, Samuel S. Allen, Texas L. Allen, and Taw T. Allen living with them at that time. John R. Allen was from TN and she lists her father as being from TN on the 1880 census.
