Addie was the 8th of 12 children born to Benjamin F Allen & Mary A Quinn who married in Mar 1864, White Co GA. It is unknown why her father is mentioned as Tom in her obituary. The death certificate for 2 of her siblings give their mother as Mary/Ann Turner. It is unknown if this is in error or if she was previously married.
