c1860 Undated letter from "Gus" identifying the children of William Allen.

Births of sons and daughters of William Allen, Hoziah and Hannah his wives.

Notes: Absent is Sarah Ann Allen and Charlotte Allen. We know of two Gus Allens, son of Peter Allen and Sarah Ring and son of William Allen and Bethena Kendall. If this letter was written by the former and addressed to Mary (Allen) Hogins then it is probably dated about 1860; Mary was pregnant in 1859 and 1860 ("name that boy Peter"). If the letter was written by the latter then it is not nearly as old as this Gus was born in 1895 and died in 1963.

1865: Moses Allen. The Handbook of Texas Online.

Allen, Moses (1808-1865). Moses Allen, soldier and settler, was born on December 14, 1808, in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, the son of William and Hannah (Pride) Allen. He moved to Texas in 1826 and in 1838 was granted a headright certificate for a league and a labor of land by the Board of Land Commissioners of Jefferson County as a first-class grantee under the Constitution of the Republic of Texas. The 1840 tax roll listed Allen as living in Jefferson County and owning thirty-eight cattle and one wooden clock. The tax list for 1846 lists Moses Allen with property in Jefferson County. He was an original landowner in Bell County, which was established by an act of the Texas legislature in 1850.

He and six of his brothers participated in the Texas Revolution. Moses was in B. J. Harper's Company for three months in 1836, for which he was issued a bounty certificate for 320 acres of land. For his participation in the siege of Bexar he received a donation certificate for 640 acres of land that he located in Bell County. He is on the muster roll of volunteers in Captain Chesshire's Company in 1835 and received 320 acres of land for this service. His name is on a list of volunteers who marched from the Natchez River on November 16, 1835, under the command of Martin B. Lewis.

Allen married Nancy A. Williams, the daughter of Hezekiah and Nancy (Reams) Williams, who also came to Texas from Louisiana before 1830. In the 1850 census Moses and Nancy were living in the Milam and Williamson district with their three children; also living with them was Marvin Williams, age twenty, born in Louisiana, and probably a relative of Nancy's. By 1860 Allen had moved to Belton in Bell County, where he resided until his death on October 1, 1865.

1874 History of Rockdale Texas, Rockdale Centennial Book Committee

At some time, possibly in 1873, George Green, B. F. Ackerman, and Frank Smith had sold the railroad company four hundred acres of land out of the William Allen survey on which to lay off a town. According to the deed dated July 15, 1874, which was subsequently filed at the county courthouse on September 2, the survey showed the town containing thirty-five blocks of lots. Streets and alleys contiguous to those lots were dedicated to the public. Specific strips of land on both sides of the track were marked off as a reservation belonging solely to the railroad company. Numerous buildings were constructed on the reservation, such as cattle pens, warehouses, and a roundhouse.
