Generation: 1
1. | Elizabeth Frances Allen was born about 1838 in Georgia; died about 1900 in Cherokee County, Texas; was buried in Cook Cemetery, Cherokee County, Texas. Notes:
Kathy Casagranda shows her as the daughter of John Allen and Emily Green, however, this appears to be incorrect.
Ina Cardwell instead shows her as a daughter of Jehu Allen and Emily Green. Ina further notes that Emily Green was the daughter of Robert Green and Luzana Richardson. She also indicated that Jehu Allen was married three times, first to Emily Green, second to Emily Parker, and third to Mary Angeline Wallace Bruton. Elizabeth France Allen appears to be the oldest of 11 total children born to Jehu Allen. Serena Keech also shows that she is a daughter of Jehu Allen. Serena adds that he "was a Methodist Minister and was involved in the forming of most of the Methodist Churches around Alto. I am his 3rd Great Granddaughter."
Elizabeth married Shelby Holmes Cook on 15 Sep 1859. Shelby (son of Greenberry "Green" Cook and Nancy Morris) was born about 1817 in Mississippi; died about 1876 in Linwood Community, Alto, Cherokee County, Texas; was buried in Cook Cemetery, Cherokee County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
