Am looking for any information on the marriage in 1878-79 of MRS. MILLIE ANN WILSON [my GGrandmother] to JAMES ALLEN, possibly in Trinity Co., Texas. Mrs. Millie Ann Wilson was the widow of JOHN D. WILSON, Sr. who was born in Louisiana abt 1831. He died in Trinity Co., Texas, in abt 1877, leaving his wife, Millie Ann, and three children. The JAMES ALLEN family was located on the 1880 Census living in Goshen, Henderson Co., Texas. The three children were listed as John Wilson, age 10 [my Grandfather]; George Wilson, age 7; and Mary Wilson, age 6. The place of birth for James Allen is given as New York in about 1838. Millie Ann was born in Alabama in about 1847, her maiden surname is unknown. If you have any information on Mrs. Millie Ann Wilson, James Allen, and/or any member of this family, please contact me.
