Pedigree Chart of Guy Carlton Allison
The ancestors of Guy C. Allison include the following families: (Click on the surname to view the descendant chart and brief family history.)
• Allison
• Center
• Parker
• Patterson
• Redwine
• Swann
These families were primarily Scots-Irish and English, along with some German, who settled in the English colonies prior to the Revolutionary War. My research has found that our ancestors were good, hardworking, religious people. I am surprised at how often they moved and impressed by how resilient they were.
Many people have helped me through the years of research on this project. Especial thanks to the following cousins: Tillie Woodall for sharing her vast resources of the Parker and Swann families, David Payne for sharing the knowledge of the Allison family, and Guy C. Allison for sharing his DNA and memories of the Allison family.
