I am a descendant of Andrew Allison through his marriage to Margaret McConnell through their daughter Margaret Allison who married Robert Hill. Their daughter, Jane Oliphant Hill, married Isaac Arthur Brown Ross, and Ross is my mother's maiden name. Thsi line migrated through Mississippi on to Texas. I have Andrew Allison's father as James Allison married to a Mary___. I also have Andrew Allison as having one brother, Thomas.

I have no other information, but desire additional data or a reference book in which I might look.

I just saw your message and realize it has been about a year since it was posted.

Thank you for any assistance.
