Surnames: Smith, Crow Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xV.2ADE/594 Message Board Post: Looking for any information or leads on Allen Smith and his wife Mahala. Allen was listed as 29 years of age in the 1850 Census for Cherokee Co, AL, Mahala was listed as 28 years of age. Both listed SC as birth place. They had as children: Francis Marion born 1849, John W born 1847 and Milton L (may be Melton) born in GA. I have found nothing of them again un Francis marries Rhoda Crow in 1872 in Newton Co, AR. He is not listed in the 1870 Census that I can find in AR. He later died in Ada, Pontotoc Co, OK in 1935. his brother Milton/Melton married Mary Jane Crow - Rhoda's sister. It is believed he too moved to OK about 1900. ANY LEADS - ANY CLUE would be vaulable. Thanks in advance. Al
