WILLIAM THOMAS ALLISON
submitted by Georgia Hornbuckle
William Thomas Allison born in Madison Co Ala
and buried in Murchison Cemetery in Farmersville, TX. Married Rachel Ann Harless.
This couple's children married into many Collin Co. Families.
If you were ever in Farmersville and went into the Dry Goods Store and later to
Dyer's Drug Store - You knew Annie May Smith. She worked until she was passed @
95 yrs old. She would never disclose her age, because she wanted to be out
talking to people. The last thing she told me was, "I just went to pot when I
quit work" She was 96 then and lived a couple of years after that. She was a
People person. She looked about 65. In December 1999 Annie May Smith died in
Missouri at the home of her daughter. She lived for 98 years in Farmersville.
Her brother, Burton was a happy face at the
Farmersville Post Office. They died less than 2 weeks apart. Both belonged to
the First Baptist Church of Farmersville, where he was a Deacon. Burton married
Mildred Evans and Annie Mae married Jennings Bryan Smith. Both Farmersville
families.
Louis Leonard Allison b. Madison Co Alabama to Wm. T. Allison and Rachel Ann
Harless. Louis married Mary Tennessee Wisdom.
From the Harless family: Rachel Ann Harless
Allison had an Uncle Henry Crowsin of Nevada, Collin Co in 1852. They suffered
the Civil War years. I have a 48 page article about the trials and tribulations.

from Millwood to Thompson Cemetery in Copeville.

the families that the above married into. Lots of relatives from Farmersville,
