In my data base is an Albert Broadus Holley MCALLISTER/MCALISTER, born 1845, MS. He died in July, 1921. I have seen it spelled both ways. He married Mary Josephine MCKINNEY, a sister of my grandfather, John (J J) McKinney. I have a copy of a letter he wrote my grandmother when my grandfather died. They had served in the Civil War together. I show the parents of Mr McAllister as Robert McAllister and Mary W HOLLEY. Mr McAllister was a Dentist in Blue Mountain, Tippah County, MS. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sibyl D.
