  • 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.

    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.

Argued November 29, 1994ÐDecided May 22, 1995* Respondent Hill ®led this suit in Arkansas state court challenging the constitutionality of § 3 of Amendment 73 to the Arkansas Constitution, which prohibits the name of an otherwise-eligible candidate for Con- gress from appearing on the general election ballot if that candidate has already served three terms in the House of Representatives or two terms in the Senate. The trial court held that § 3 violated Article I of the Federal Constitution, and the Arkansas Supreme Court af®rmed. A plurality of the latter court concluded that the States have no author- ity ªto change, add to, or diminishº the age, citizenship, and residency requirements for congressional service enumerated in the Quali®cations Clauses, U. S. Const., Art. I, § 2, cl. 2, and Art. I, § 3, cl. 3, and rejected the argument that Amendment 73 is constitutional because it is formu- lated as a ballot access restriction rather than an outright disquali®ca- tion of congressional incumbents.
