Hi Michael,
I know that I wrote you some time ago telling you I had some new info for you, well here it finally is:
Ira B. Allen info from Census records and birth indexes.
Ira Benton Allen son of Nathaniel Orrin Allen and Rebecca Ella Coker (3rd wife).
Nathaniel married Sarah LeBow 1st, then Allena C.2nd, and lastly Rebecca Ella Coker 3rd.
Nathaniel & Sarah Evelyn LeBow had:
Catherine Fanny & Jane Emma (Twins, their first & mid names could be switched/interchanged, I was just guessing.) B: 1869 Ark Sarah E./Aletha B:4 Dec 1870 Ark Annie A. B:1872 Ark Charles "Chas" O. B: 1875 Tex Otto F. B:1877 Tex
Nathaniel and Allena C. had:
Flora M. B:1890 Tex
Nathaniel & Rebecca Ella (Coker) Birdsong (She was married before to Walter Birdsong) had:
Ella josephine B; Nov 1899
Ira Benton B:1902/1903? Ark
Rebecca kids with Walter S. Birdsong were:
Charles B: 1885 Tex
Sarah B: 1887 Tex
Walter B:1891 Tex
Mary B:1894 Tex
I kept going over and over the Census records because the info on Rebecca and Ella wasn't making sense, surely Nathaniel wasn't married 4 times. finally came to the conclusion that Rebecca and Ella are the same person, unless Nathaniel was married to 2 women at the same time.
Rebecca Coker was born in Nov of 1865 in Manchester, Red River Co., Texas and her father's name was Charles M. Coker but am not sure of the mother's name yet.
Nathaniel Orrin Allen is the son of Peter Benton/ Buell Allen & Mary Rowena Hoskins He was born 12 Feb 1844 Cove, Polk Co./ Sevier Co., Ark.
Died 29 sep 1933 and buried in the Pleasant grove Cemetery.
Well there is more detail but I sure you can take it from there.
Time to stop for now.
Thanks,
Valerie Allen
