James Alonzo always told people that "Allen, his father, and two old maid sisters came from Scotland, traveling down through England; sailing from Liverpool, England."
The Arizona census of 1880 lists his father as having been born in Scotland as well as the 1920 Florahome, Florida census.
The 1850 and 1860 census records of Bibb County, Georgia list Allen's birth as Georgia. If Allen gave the information then we could rely on that but in most cases the wives or another person in the household gave the information and it was not always accurate.
