Image posted of Solomon ALLRED I, Baptism, 2 Nov 1680, Ecceles Parish, St. Mary, Lancashire, England per parish records. (See image of Parish Record of the Baptism of Solomon Allred to the left) It was my privilege to work with and exchange many Emails with the delightful professional Allred Family Researcher Dawnell H Griffin for several years during her research in preparation of her book. Dawnell honored me as a "kindred spirit" in York and Alldred family genealogy. Dawnell helped me to edit and sort out several of the Allred family relationships in my own Allred research database. Dawnell H Griffin and her editor C Keith Allred have documented in 336 pages the origins of the Allred Family from England into Colonial America in excellent details. Dawnell Griffin concluded that Solomon ALLRED I, age 32, married in 1712 in Chester County, Pennsylvania to 'Ann' Elizabeth YORK, age 24, daughter of Richard YORK II and Ann SEYMOUR. This is the proposed scenario adopted by the late Dawnell H Griffin Allred Genealogist without any documented proof. This appears most likely without conflicts to birth dates of their four known children proposed to be born in colonial Pennsylvania. Dawnell proposed this based on the fact that Solomon ALLRED I and Jeremiah YORK I were on the same 1724 Tax list of West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania in adjacent lines. This is very convincing evidence they were close neighbors and kinsmen registering their property taxes together in 1724. (See 1724 Tax List image to the left.)The Solomon ALLRED and Ann YORK marriage convinced Dawnell and her editor based upon their own research as valid and true. This fact is illustrated throughout her excellent 2015 publication; "From England to America our ALLRED Family", ISBN: 978-0-692-56886-6. However without any conflict, some researchers including Dennis York are convinced of a slightly different but significant timeline scenario than Dawnell's. Solomon ALLRED I, age 30, is believed to have married in 1710 in England not America because of the date most likely as their arrival between 1715-1717 in America. 'Ann' Elizabeth YORK, age 22, is the daughter of Richard YORK II and Ann SEYMOUR. Their first child Solomon ALLRED II is proposed to be born in England in 1712. Likewise their second child Elizabeth ALLRED is proposed to be born in England in 1713. This is an important explanation of the five year birth gap between the second, Elizabeth ALLRED 1713 and third William ALLRED, 1718 PA, child. This alternative scenario provides a more likely logical window when these two closely connected York and Allred families immigrated to America in about 1715-1717. The first two Allred children are proposed to be born in England not in Colonial Pennsylvania. Ann Elizabeth YORK is the youngest sister of Jeremiah YORK. These two families were very close friends first in England. Most likely Jeremiah YORK I having just lost his first wife in England in 1714 had a new opportunity to voyage to America with his young married sister Ann Elizabeth YORK ALLRED. It is suggested that the children, Solomon ALLRED Jr, 1710, and Ann Elizabeth ALLRED, 1713, were close first cousin friends with John David YORK, 1708. One can only imagine the adventurous excitement these children may have experienced to travel together on a big sailing ship to America in 1715-1717. (Refer to Note 1* below for this alternative scenario for a slightly different timeline variation of the above events.) This alternate scenario does not differ with the facts of that of Dawnell H Griffin except for the place and date of the marriage in England plus the birth of the first two Allred children born in England. Both York and Allred research supports the proposed arrival in America between 1715 and 1717) Upon their arrival in British Colonial America at the likely port of Philadelphia these two families of cousins settled in the West Nottingham Tax District of Chester County, Pennsylvania. According to the West Nottingham Tax District as reflected first in the 1724 Tax Lists, the Solomon ALLRED I family and the Jeremiah York family lived as close neighbors in Chester County, Pennsylvania until about 1730 or 1732. (See 1724 Tax List image to the left.) The Governors of Pennsylvania and Maryland both attempted to collect taxes from the residences in West Nottingham claiming West Nottingham was in their state. Lack of a resolution lead to troubling unrest among the residents. Arrangements for transportation to leave their homes in West Nottingham to avoid this conflict began a mass exodus. Thus between 1730 thru 1732, large migrations westward took place to escape the dual taxes and insecurity of living in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The on-going dispute between the William Penn family of Pennsylvania, and the Cecil Calvert family of Maryland over the border between the two colonies finally erupted into an armed war in 1732. This was known as Cresap's War. After years of armed conflict, England's King George II negotiated a cease-fire in 1738 to halt the hostilities. Shortly thereafter, the William Penn and Cecil Calvert families commissioned two Englishman, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, to mark the official border, and solve their property dispute. Mason (an astronomer) and Dixon (a surveyor) used celestial measurement instruments to form an accurate east west 233-mile-long line (or boundary) between Pennsylvania and Maryland, and the north south 83-mile-long border between Maryland and Delaware. This project took nearly 5 years, and the new border was marked by large blocks of limestone, some weighing as much as 600 pounds. Today, most of the original stone markers have either deteriorated, or simply disappeared - some say as souvenirs. This conflict did not officially conclude until 1887 with the establishment of the Mason Dixon border with agreement between Pennsylvania and Maryland. However, the Mason-Dixon Line remains as the officially recognized boundaries between these states. The Border reconfirmed with a resurvey in 1902 and found to be remarkably accurate with minor adjustments. This survey still serves as the Maryland-Pennsylvania border, while the Mason-Dixon Line of the Civil War days fades into the past. The West Nottingham Tax District of Chester County, Pennsylvania where the York, Allred and Routh families lived became part of Cecil County, Maryland after settlements of the boundary dispute This was most confirming to the wisdom of those settlers and residents that migrated westward before the 1732 Cresap's War. A most validating evidence to those westward migrations travel route dates of when these families departed Chester County. After leaving West Nottingham, Chester County, it is likely these two families relocated on both sides of the Potomac River during the 1734-1755 period. The Jeremiah YORK families lived on the high cliffs of Terrapin Neck overlooking the Potomac in Colonial Frederick County, Virginia, and now Jefferson County, West Virginia. According to researchers, the ALLRED families most likely lived on the Eastern shore line of the Potomac River in Western Frederick County, Maryland. This is about 5 miles west of the famous Civil War National Antietam Battle Field north of Sharphsburg, Maryland near the Potomac River. Both of these families lived just off the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia. In the colonial period, this is where travelers forded the shallow section of the Potomac River of the Great Wagon Road route. This was the main travel and trade route in that colonial migration era as defined by the famous 1736 Jefferson and Fry Map. This very accurate detailed map had a famous surveyor named Thomas Jefferson, who is the father of our third U S President Thomas Jefferson. The Library of Congress archives the original map. Perhaps the ALLRED log homes were just about three miles north of where the present day Maryland State 34 Highway Bridge crosses the Potomac. The Allred properties were near Antietam Creek that emptied into the Potomac. This is very close to the site of the largest loss of lives in the Civil War at the National Antietam Battle Field. It is located north of Sharphsburg, in western Maryland very near the Potomac River These same YORK and ALLRED families and their descendants also began to settle in the 1746 - 1755 period within the Sandy Creek Community as neighbors and friends Colonial North Carolina. Their newly constructed log cabins along the fresh running waters of Sandy Creek must have been very stabilizing and peaceful where they could settle with their families. The Allred and YORK families were in British Colonial America Orange (now Randolph) County. Again living on adjacent land grant farms as friends, relatives and close neighbors with nearby churches and caring neighbors of Methodists, Quakers, Baptists, and Lutherans. It is amazing to reflect how these ALLRED and YORK Family relationships first started centuries ago in England, then continued across the Atlantic to West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Then living on both sides of the Potomac River for about twenty years then down the Shenandoah Valley along the Great Wagon Road into central Colonial North Carolina into the Sandy Creek area in about 1746 - 1755. The descendants of both families are living on these and nearby farmlands to the present times (2021). Refer to more details in the life of their grandson, Solomon ALLRED III story, FAG #171515073. Solomon ALLRED I and Ann Elizabeth YORK were parents to at least four known children. It believed four children were born to this couple in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania by Dawnell H Griffin. The four children are most likely to be: 1. Solomon ALLRED II, b. 1712 England; d. 1757 NC 2. Elizabeth ALLRED, b. 1713 England; d. 1737 MD 3. William ALLRED Sr., b. 1718 PA; d. 1770 NC 4. Thomas ALLRED I, b. 1725 PA; d. 1810 NC Background Notes: 1*. Some researchers including Dennis York are convinced of a slightly different but significant timeline scenario that Solomon ALLRED I, age 30, is believed to have married in 1710 in England to 'Ann' Elizabeth YORK, age 21, daughter of Richard YORK II and Ann SEYMOUR. Their first child Solomon ALLRED II is proposed to be born in England in 1712. Likewise their second child Elizabeth ALLRED is proposed to be born in England in 1713. Ann Elizabeth YORK is the sister of Jeremiah YORK and their families were very close friends first in England. Most likely Jeremiah YORK I having just lost his first wife in England on 1714 had a new opportunity to voyage to America with his young son John YORK along with his younger married sister Ann Elizabeth YORK, her young children, Solomon ALLRED II and Elizabeth ALLRED plus a new brother-in-law Solomon ALLRED I. The two month ocean voyage in about 1715 -1717 to America of Solomon ALLRED I, Ann Elizabeth YORK, his new wife with the two young children, Solomon ALLRED II and Elizabeth ALLRED, Jeremiah YORK I with his young son John YORK created a bond between these two families that has endured for the centuries. This scenario may explain the five year birth gap between the second and third child of Solomon ALLRED I and his wife Ann Elizabeth YORK. 2. The Mason-Dixon Line became widely known as the symbolic divider between the Northern and Southern states during America's Civil War; in short, it divided slave states from non-slave states. However, the original Mason-Dixon Line was actually a demarcation (or border) line between Pennsylvania and Maryland, in an effort to settle an 80-year land dispute between the two colonies. It also included the western border of present-day Delaware, as Delaware was originally a part of the Pennsylvania colony.
