    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lewis/Allen/Holloway/Moseley/Brown/McNabb/Baxter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UkB.2ACI/4831 Message Board Post: I have discovered who Elizabeth Lewis b 10 Feb 1829 Cocke Co, dtr of John Leith Lewis and Leannah Brown, married through a death certificate of Elizabeth's daughter. Elizabeth married George W Allen born abt 1828 Tn whom I believe to be the son of a John Allen born abt 1799 Tenn who lived on English Creek. George W. Allen was killed during the civil war and died Nov 1863. George and Elizabeth are living by her mother Leannah Brown Lewis Baxter and her brother Maldon Lewis in the 1850 census. George and Elizabeth had children 1) Eliza Jane b Dec 1847 died 1924 Cocke Co married John Holloway son of Joseph Holloway and Sarah Clevenger. This is the death certificate I found that documents her parents 2) Hamilton Blackburn Allen b Feb 1848 d 18 Jun 1911 Collin Co Tx married Lavinia M Mosely 3) Sarah Allen b Feb 1851 married 1st Mr. Brown and 2nd David McNabb b Jun 1850. Sarah died 1934 Cocke Co and her death certificate documents names of her parents too. No children 4) Susannah b abt 1854 5) George W b abt 1856 6) Joseph M b abt 1858 7) Charles b abt 1862 Elizabeth may have had an out of wedlock child William Allen born abt 1874. I found information on LDS site that states she died in 1919 but I can't find her after 1880 so she might have remarried again. I am not related to this family, but was doing this for a descendant of Hamilton Allen, Linda Walker. I discovered it by accident one day while I was looking through some death records. Elizabeth is the sister of Hamilton Lewis who married Eliza Jane Click and that's the family I research are the Click's.
