Descendants of John Alford and Jane McElhattan [ This is a new genealogy that has been in process for several years. It is now another work in progress and is known to be incomplete and with some error. This online version has had generations six and seven removed in an effort to protect the living. If you have good reason to have a copy of the complete version with the living explain it and you may be able to have it. Send your email to [email protected]. The previous online version had 4 generations, 24 pages and 368 registered descendants. This version has 5 generations, 673 descendants and 41 pages without index. Some male Alford descendants of this branch have taken the Y-DNA test and their results match those of descendants of the Alfords of early 1700s New Kent Co., VA. We need more Alford Y-DNA participants. For those who may print this and use it as an off line reference an index of the persons listed can be found at the end of the genealogy.

The Historical Records Survey, Tennessee, RECORDS OF GRAINGER COUNTY: MINUTES OF COURT OF PLEAS & QUARTER SESSIONS VOL. 2 1802-1812 (Nashville, TN: Privately printed, 1929) Family "legend" says that about 1852 he moved to Arkansas, and he appears there in 1860 Carroll co. living with son (proved by 1850 Roane Co. TN census) Thomas H. Alford and Thomas's family. Supposedly when Thomas enlisted in the CSA, they went back to TN, but no further record of them has been found.

Sep 9 1852, in Meigs Co., TN, James Beady #618. Luisa died before 1889. In 1850 Roane Co. TN census, she is 20. There is a marriage of a Lemsea? Alford to James Beady (Beatie??) on the given date in our compilation of ALFORD MARRIAGES IN TENNESSEE. 1 According to history mentioning parents, she was deceased by 1889 and she may have died not long after her marriage. If husband was John Beady/Beattie, he is not found so far in TN or AR in 1860. m: Alford Marriages in Tennessee (AAFA database) lists a marriage of a Lemsea Alford to James Beady (Beatie?) on this date. She is still at home in 1850. + 11. x Thomas H. Alford #8 b. Mar 2 1833. 12. xi Margaret Alford #9 b. about 1835, Tennessee. + 13. xii Sarah Rebecca Alford #10 b. Oct 1 1837. Second Generation 2.

Winton, he married sisters, first he married Elizabeth Alford and when she died, he married her sister, Jane Alford His first child with Elizabeth was named William Alford Winton. Was John's father named William or was Elizabeth a William Alford's child instead of the daughter of John and Jane McElhatten Alford??
