• Notes

  Allen was a farmer and moved to Clay county, Texas, sometime before 1900. Clay county is on U.S. highways 287 and 82 on the Red River in north Texas, ninety miles northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Clay county had been a hideout for outlaws and deserters during the waning years of the Civil War. Fort Buffalo Springs was built in the south part of the county in 1867 and moved to Jacksboro less than a year later. In 1878 Shannon was settled in the extreme south part of the county and Buffalo Springs several miles northeast, where the fort had been earlier.
