one of the posts, by a guest:
he was born on Jan 13, 1893. his full name was John Blauvelt Allison. He was the 
youngest of I believe five children. My grandmother was the oldest, born July 13, 
1885. John was known by me as uncle Jack. I remember him from the 1960s. Friendly, 
and I recall he always had a guitar and liked singing when visiting. The famous 
ancester was his father. There is a lot on the web, do a google search on "william o 
allison" he was born poor at the base of the palasades and became wealthy and left a 
trust for his children. This allowed them to follow their artistic interests. My 
grandmother was a poet, well published but not a lot of info on the web. Uncle Jack 
pursued music and painting. He was an archiver of the family history. Family rumor is 
that Burl Ives once approached him to partner. Another rumor was that he was asked 
to invest in a salad dressing by a guy whose name was Helman. Uncle Jack did 
neither. I have no facts to substantiate either- but quite possible. Uncle Jack lived in 
New York State. I remeber a white hose with a unused well in the backyard. 
another post by William Allison McGee:
Grandpa Jack is how we knew him but we lived on the west coast he on the east and 
he did not like to fly, did it once to see us and never again after that. I have fond 
memories of him sending a big package every Christmas season wrapped with brown 
paper and a white twine tied as well. I have original copies of Witches & War-Whoops 
and Spaceway Ballads. His works are archived at the Smithsonian and I'm told in 
Montclair at the NJ Art Museum but have not confirmed that. I still live on the west 
side of the country but some day will take up the challange of going east and doing 
lots of research.
