He was enumerated in the home of his uncle William P. Slaton in 1900. Names in this family are good clues to previous generations.

Rebecca Slaton age 30 was the daughter of Francis Marion (Frank) Slaton and Mary Ann Moore. As such, she was the niece of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton. Rebecca's husband was Joseph Haskel (Haskel) Free. The census indicates that Rebecca had borne a child that had died. There is a Slaton family photograph which was taken on the occasion of the infant's funeral. My third great grandfather Thomas Fielden Slaton was in the picture. Thomas was the father of both Frank Slaton and Susan Slaton. Thomas died 26 Jan 1899. So the infant must have been born and died prior to 1899. There is a note on the back of the photograph that says that the infant was a son. I'm sure that the note was added to the photograph many years after the event, and was based on someone's memory of the event. Subsequent research has shown that the infant who died was a daughter, Mary F. Free, 31 Dec 1894 to 25 Jul 1897. So the photograph was taken about 26 or 27 Jul 1897. |

William A. Allen married (1) Sarah Shrader, and she died before 1900. Subsequent to 1900, William A. Allen married (2) Lydia Catherine Harrison and married (3) Rebecca Frances (Cricket) Slaton. So in 1900, William A. Allen was between his first wife and his second wife. Lydia Catherine Harrison and Rebecca Frances (Cricket) Slaton were first cousins, with both of them being grandchildren of my third great grandparents Thomas Fielden Slaton and Rebecca Frances George. William Allen, Charles Allen, John Allen, Jessie Allen, and Harmon Allen were siblings. Their description as sons-in-law and daughters-in-law of Robert Miller is not quite correct. He was really their stepfather. The parents of all the Allen siblings were John P. Allen and Sarah Elizabeth (Lizzie) Holbert. John P. Allen died in 1885, and Lizzie Holbert married Robert Miller in 1895. There is clearly some sort of date problem associated with Harmon Miller, because on the face of it he was born five years after his father's death. |

Rhoda Rebecca (Becky) Harrison was the daughter of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton. As such, she was the sister of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison. Becky's husband was John Wesley Solomon. He was the son of James W. Solomon and Sarah C. I am by no means sure how to interpret "H-brother" for Rufus Walker (Walker) Solomon. The obvious interpretation would be that he was a half brother of John Wesley Solomon. But I don't think he was a half brother; I think he was a brother. So I don't know what the "H" means. |
