Excerpt from The History of the Alison, or Allison Family in Europe and America, A. D. 1135 to 1893: Giving an Account of the Family in Scotland, England, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and the United States
This work is vastly more comprehensive in its scope than was intended at the commencement of its preparation. The stream has been traced to its fountain, the river to its source, and the Allisons to their homes in Scotland of many centuries ago. There, among its moors, its mountains, and its glens, they have lived till the present, while collateral lines of this ancient stock, about whom lingers the love of the freedom of Scotland's mountains, struck out into other lands, have enlarged and become strong, numerous, prosperous, and vigorous. The Allisons have won homes and reputations not only in Scotland, but in England, Ireland, Australia, South America, Canada, and in nearly every state of the great American common wealth, the United States.
