Some of the Descendants of John Alford Ca1801 North Carolina Alford American Family Association Computer Designation JOH801NC Revised May 2013 Some of the Descendants of John Alford ca1801 North Carolina Alford American Family Association computer designation JOH801NC Revised May 2013 Generation One 1. John1 Alford #1, born Betw. 1790-1800 in North Carolina, died Betw. 1833-1840 in Pickens Co. Alabama. He married John's Wife's Name Unknown. #2, born betw.1790 - 1800 in North Carolina, died betw.1833 - 1840 in Pickens Co. Alabama. Burial place is unknown. -Aunt Manza Tingle of Neshoba Co. Mississippi, daughter of John Madison Alford, said his brothers were George, Julius, and Duke; said their father was named John (but called Jack, as was son John Madison); and said the children were orphaned and parceled out to relatives. [Letters dated 1967 and 1983 from the late Herman Alford AAFA member #68 (grandson of John Madison) who thought the original John had lived near Carrollton in Pickens County, Alabama.] - The eldest brother George Washington Alford died intestate Sept. 19, 1878 in Noxubee Co. Mississippi apparently having never married. His probate (Chancery Case 803) provides the only legal evidence connecting the brothers and reveals sisters Adeline and Frances. A further petition in 1885 (Chancery Case 1160) by John Madison Alford, Julius C. Alford, and Frances Alexander located their brother Julius C. in Hempstead Co. Arkansas. That suit plus CSA pension application 2881 for Julius C. Alford and the widow’s pension application 3771 (both in Winn Parish, Louisiana) assured us that we had the correct Julius C. - Now Y-DNA test results from one descendant of Julius C., one descendant of Marmaduke, and five descendants of John Madison (including 2 generations) confirm our research. - The John Alford family in the 1830 census of Pickens Co. Alabama p. 133 fits known facts and cannot be located as one unit in subsequent censuses: 1 male under 4 [John Madison], 2 males age 5-9 [unknown son and Julius C.], 1 male age 15-19 [George Washington], 1 male age 30-39 [John]; 1 female under age 4 [Frances], 1 female age 5-9 [Adeline], and 1 female age 30-39 [assumed to be John’s wife]. Marmaduke will be born ca1833. In all subsequent censuses, the children say both parents were born in North Carolina. - Pickens County was very unhealthy in those days. County history said yearly epidemics sometimes wiped out whole families; those who survived usually moved on. It is thought that John, his wife, and the son born between 1820 and 1825 died during one of these epidemics. That son is not mentioned in the 1878 probate. Judging by the birth spaces of the other children and subsequent births of twins through all the known descending lines, it is possible that this son was a twin either to Adeline or to Julius C. - Pickens County is a “burned” county of courthouse records destroyed in fires in 1864 and 1876. The probate judge has marriage, probate and land records from 1876 forward [Everton’s Handy Book for Genealogists]. There is a ledger of United States Land Grants in Pickens County re-created by D. D. Patton in 1909 that he compared with the tract book in the United States Land Office in Montgomery, Alabama. The only Alford patent is on page 559 to Green Alford in Township 24 Range 1 West, Section 19, South quarter of Northwest quarter, 40 acres, sold August 27, 1832, Certificate 8043. The land entry file contained no genealogical information. This property is near the Sipsey River boundary with Greene County Alabama and near the Old Bethany Church and Cemetery. This might have been John’s property before he died? So far there is no known relation to this Green Alford who was enumerated twice in 1830 in Greene County, once in 1840 in Pickens County, and apparently died before 1850? - Fragments of two mortgages were found for John Alford of Pickens County next door in Greene County. [Greene County courthouse escaped damage by the Yankees in 1864 because the surrounding rivers were at floodstage when they came by.] Deed Book C (from Feb. 1828 to Nov. 1829) #142 indebted to M. Lewis on Mar. 3, 1828, and #l43 indebted to T. Riddle, signed John Alford. - Because of its fragile condition, this old original and valuable Deed Book C is kept in a drawer in the clerk’s office, instead of being on a shelf with the other ledgers. 1 - The identity of the other John Alford [John Alford 180l Georgia] known to be in Pickens County at this same time is further separated from our John by a mortgage in Greene County Deed Book C #225 dated Aug. 30, 1828, to Wm. M. Lewis, signed John W. Alford. This John William Alford married Leanna Roden and moved on to Carroll County Mississippi after 1830 where he died before 1860. - According to Milton Folds (husband of the late Roberta Alford Folds AAFA member #49) at the AAFA meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina, there was a lot of movement of families across state lines to and from Georgia during this early period. That may explain the Georgia births of Adeline and John Madison while Julius C. says he was born in Pickens County Alabama. Children: 2 i.

    Big Cat Rescue in Tampa Florida Who Is Big Cat Rescue 1 Table Of Contents Chapter 2 - Who Is Big Cat Rescue Chapter 3 - Non-Profit Ratings Chapter 4 - Award Winning Sanctuary Chapter 5 - Cable Television Segments Chapter 6 - Celebrity Supporters Chapter 7 - Area Business Affiliations Chapter 8 - How Big Cat Rescue Started Chapter 9 - The History & Evolution of Big Cat Rescue Chapter 10 - Cat Links 1 2 Who Is Big Cat Rescue OVERVIEW of Who is Big Cat Rescue? Big Cat Rescue is the largest accredited sanctu- ary in the world dedicated entirely to abused and abandoned big cats. We are home to over 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts. Our dual mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care and educate the pub- lic about the plight of these majestic animals, both in captivity and in the wild, to end abuse and avoid extinction. The sanctuary began in 1992 when the Founder, Carole Baskin, and her then husband Don, mistakenly believing that bobcats made good pets, went looking to buy some kit- tens. They inadvertently ended up at a “fur farm” and bought all 56 kittens to keep them from being turned into fur coats. See How We Started. In the early years, influenced by breeders and pet owners, they believed that the cats made suitable pets and that breeding and placing the cats in homes was a way to “pre- serve the species.” Gradually they saw increasing evidence that not only was this not the case, but that it was leading to a consistent pattern of suffering and abuse.

  • 1 Known Descendants of This Is Not the Typical AAFA Genealogy. These
    1 Known Descendants of WILLIAM HENRY ALFORD This is not the typical AAFA genealogy. These descendants of Job Alford are from a file created by John A. Rogers, AAFA #0544 who is the AAFA authority on Job Descendants. John has researched these folks to a greater degree that AAFA had researched most other Alfords. John also includes more information in his report than is found in a typical AAFA genealogy. Nevertheless it is a work in progress and probably is not complete and with some error. Generations 5-6 have been removed to protect the privacy of most of the living. The work contains many names but the only ones listed in the index are those listed within the registry system. 1. William Henry Alford #331 b. 1811, Wake County, North Carolina, (son of Job Alford #325 and Sarah Ann Turner? #326) m. Sarah Elizabeth "Betsy" Stilwell #1099, b. 1809, North Carolina, (daughter of Shadrack Stilwell #9156 and _____ Unknown #9157) d. ABT. 1875, Harris County, Georgia, buried: ABT. 1875, Harris County, Georgia. William died ABT. 1867, Georgia, buried: ABT. 1867, Unknown. William Henry Alford was Job's 5th son. He was born in 1811 in Wake County, North Carolina, shortly before the family left for South Carolina and then Georgia. Most people called him "Bill." He came to Jones County, Georgia, as a young child, with his family around 1817. In 1823, as a preteen, he moved with his parents to the Redbone District (555) of Upson County, Georgia, northeast of Thomaston, where he lived until 1828, when the family moved to the Black Ankle District (494), southeast of Thomaston.

  • The Colt Balok Show Announces “Tiger King's Carole Baskin One
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matt Crosby January 11th, 2021 [email protected] The Colt Balok Show Announces “Tiger King’s Carole Baskin One-Hour Special Tell-All” ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Colt Balok Show’s mission is to inspire everyone to be their best self and to connect one human to another; Colt like’s to humanize every person who comes on the show. Carole Baskin is known for the hit Netflix documentary series, ‘Tiger King’. On Thursday, January 14th, Carole will discuss many of the controversial topics on The Colt Balok Show. Carole Baskin owns Big Cat Rescue, a cat rescue facility in Tampa Bay, Florida. Her rescue has been highly controversial. Carole has also been accused of killing her former husband by feeding him to a tiger. Baskin states, "Can you imagine having people think you killed your husband or wife and not being able to prove otherwise? Without a body, there is nothing I can do to clear my name." “Carole is brave to come on the show,” Colt Balok, the Host of the show, said. “She is not happy with Netflix and will be speaking out against the company.” This will be Carole’s first time as a guest on The Colt Balok Show. Colt did not seek out Carole and had never heard her name prior to one of his segment producers booking her as a guest. “I’ve never seen Tiger King. People have told me to watch the show prior to the interview so I can be better prepared, but I don’t want any misperception biased towards Carole”, Balok says.
