This is probably a real stretch on my part, but... My great grandparents, John T. Smith and Mary Jane Allen Smith lived in Texas CO. In the 1870 census they have Martha, Nancy and Hannah Allen living with them. I am trying to find great/great grandparents on this line. I do not know if these girls were sisters, nieces, cousins or what Sometime after John T. died, Mary Jane and her sons from first marriage (Gross) moved to Cherokee, CO, Oklahoma. They were there by 1903 when my mother was born. I have heard my mother talk about Watson kin that she grew up with in Oklahoma, but can't remember names. Do you think our Allen girls might be related? My Mary Jane was born in TN. They were in MO by the 1850s. Here's hoping........... Jan Paul
