1900 census lists her in 3rd Civil District, Sevier County, TN, as Sarah A. Allen (Mar 1861-TN), with son William H. Allen (Feb 1880-TN), in household of son Robert J. Reneau (jul 1880-TN), mother of 4 children (3 living). I have found exact birth date
A possible explaination for Sarah being listed as the "mother" of these two boys, is that John William Allen was not her biological son, but a step-son born in the same year as Robert. She probably raised the two boys as brothers.
