Independence Co., Arkansas in the 1900 census. His father's name is soundex coded as Jac.C. but is very difficult to read. His mother is Louise and he has siblings Samuel, born Sept. 1883, Allen is born Nov. 1886, Wesley is born June 1888 and Minnie is listed born in June 1891. Their surname is spelled Mahan. The world war 1 draft records do not give the names of parents, with the exception of the enlistee working for the father. Allen is working for himself. He is described as Medium ht. and build, with gray eyes and dark hair, and his permanent address is Cave City, Sharp Co., Arkansas on Sept 12, 1918. The world war 2 records do not give parents names either. By this time he is living in Swifton, Jackson County, Arkansas with his wife Ora. Hope this helps some.
