[1860 Census doesn't indicate Wm. has an occupation such as hired hand, or other relative who helped out on the farm, since relationships of individuals in a household aren't indicated in 1860 Census, but given that Wm. "attended school within the year" it might indicate a closer relationship, such as Allison's son... by first marriage ca. 1840??? Birth year for Wm. would be ca. 1841.]
