"John Allison, son of William, married in Warren Co, KY in 1801 his neighbor, Rachel Anne Barnes (1786-1846), daughter of Eleanor and Frederick Barnes.
In 1810, John joined a band of 150 Kentuckians migrating to Howard County, Missouri; his objective was to scout the new territory for a location for his family. He returned to Kentucky, however, and in a few years moved wife and children to Alabama. Apparently the Allisons were not satisfied there, for they returned to their Kentucky home to prepare for a journey to Missouri.
Before 1820, John, Rachel, and 7 children were settled in a grove along Tabo Creek near present-day Dover in Lafayette County, MO. John was interested in more than land; with associates, he sought to establish a church along the Missouri frontier. He and his oldest son (William George Allison) had been trained as Elders in the then-new Christian Church movement (of Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone), having attended meetings at Cane Ridge in Kentucky. The congregation of today's Dover Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) considered an historic Missouri church, dates from the organization by John Allison and others. John and Rachel Allison are buried in the Dover, MO cemetery."
