NOTES:
1860 Census Series: M653 Roll: 1294 Page: 383 enumerates George F. Allison as a school teacher.  George F. Allison, buried in Cotton Gin Cemetery, his headstone reads: CSA Means Co. 19th Brig TX Mil.  Nancy died of Typhus Fever in 1862, t is assumed she is buried in Cotton Gin Cemetery as no headstone survives.  The full name and birth places of the Allisons and their children are written in a Moody Bible from Eureka Laviga Allison Moddy's descendants.
Nannie Bird Allison Brooks celebrated her 79th birthday in Denton, TX
John F, D K, Eureka, and of Course Nannie Bird attended the party.  You can see a newspaper clipping with a picture of them here. http://freepages.nostalgia.rootsweb.com/~ctheflame/reunion.jpg

Walter Vanwirt Allison seems to disappear after 1860.  The 1880 census Limestoen Co., Springfield, TX enumerates a Walter Allison 32 b. TX with T. H. Robertson and family as a hired man.  It is not verified that this is our Walter Vanwirt though.  1880 Census Series: T9 Roll: 1317 Page: 397
