"...Some of the information you have listed for the Allred family in the 1700's and earlier is wrong.  An example is your information about Thomas Allred born about 1730 Northumberland Co., VA who married Elizabeth Diffee.  We have proven that Thomas Allred was not born in Northumberland County, VA and he was not related to the Aldridge family who lived there.  Also, Elizabeth Diffee married William Allred who was actually an Elrod but changed his name to Allred shortly after arriving in North Carolina in the 1750's.  You can read more about our research and findings on our AFO web site at http://www.allredfamily.org/original_research_report.htm .  More about Thomas Allred can be found on our web site at http://www.allredfamily.org/thomas.htm .  More about the other early Allreds can be found at http://www.allredfamily.org/new_page_2.htm

 

By coincidence, we found the graves of William Allred and his wife Elizabeth Diffee Allred this week.  Photos of their graves are on the web site at http://www.allredfamily.org/william.htm

 

I'll be glad to answer questions and share information.
