Michael, Their is a publication titled "A Short History of the Patillo Community of Erath Co., TX" by Charles S. McCleskey.It is in 2 volumes. I know that Tarleton College (I believe part of U of Texas) located in Stephenville has both volumes. On Page 45-46 is info on a Henry Hampton Allen family that came from Alabama in the late 1800's. (Info in Vol 2) It also has school pictures of the children from 1910-11. Henry was born c 1874...son of George W. & Sally Jordan Allen...who were buried at Green's Creek near Stephenville. I dont know if he is connected to your Allens's just passing along some info that maybe of interest to you. In Bosely Cemetery (Palo Pinto Co) are buried a Manuel Allen 1866-1942 & Robert B. Allen 1853-1905...I dont know if they are connected to the foregoing Allen's.. Several years ago I asked the people in the Library, Genealogy Section, at Tarleton to make copies of some pages for me...and they did...I don't know if they will still do that. Good hunting! Allen's is not a family I am researching Jim S(California) << earching for any information on ALLENs buried in Sturdivant Cemetery. Matilda ALLEN (born abt 1825 in Franklin County, AL; died Palo Pinto/Parker County) was the mother of Ransom Cass HOLLAND, who owned property south of Mineral Wells airport overlooking Rock Creek. Matilda's father (also in Sturdivant Cemetery) was L. ALLEN (born October 19, 1792; died abt 1894). There are other ALLENs buried in Sturdivant who are borthers, etc. Any help/suggestions welcomed.
