ALFRED in that place the 4th inst. Born in Beaver Co., Penn., where she married Hugh ALFRED. They started west with a family of 12 children in 1851, and the husband and father died on the journey. Other members of the family came to Jefferson County in 1858 and resided for a long time near County Line. Mrs. ALFRED was 88. ------------- Note: Hugh Alfred reportedly drowned in the Ohio river in 1851. It isn't known if his body was recovered or, if it was, where he was buried. Family information is drawn from other burial/cemetery sources, census records, and from family records that have been used in compiling data about this family. Not everything can be fully 'documented', but is presented on these memorials for the benefit of family researchers. Following is a cautionary listing of children believed to have been the 12 children of Hugh and Martha Alfred. Six of them do not have DOD's listed as of a 1978 family group sheet on this Alfred/Alford family, but perhaps other contributors will be able to fill in the gaps. Some may have memorials in place but not linked yet (SAC's sent out), or are awaiting memorials to be made for them: * Ellen Alford/Alfred, b. 1824 * Elizabeth Alford/Alfred, b. 1826 * Martha Alford/Alfred, b. 1828 * William W. Alfred, 1830-1899 * Stewart Alfred, 1832-1909 * Rebecca Ann Alfred Teeter, 1834-1912 * John Weller Alford, 1837-1905 (has memorial in place with headstone photo, evidently used the "Alford" surname; John Weller Alford; his wife Elizabeth Teeter Alford ) * Michael W. Alfred, b. 1839 * Ross W. Alfred, b. 1841 * Mary A. Alfred Leech, b. 1844 * Louisa Abigail Alfred Rasmus (family memorials pending) * Augustus W.
