Sharyl,
We don't have data on your Dorcas Alford but I'm pretty sure we will eventually find that she is part of the family descending from Benedict Alford b. England who immigrated to Boston, MA in early 1630.Most of the earlier "northern" Alfords are from this branch.The only Dorcas we have is one born in 1742 in Hartford, CT to Josiah Alford and Mary Case.It appears that by 1850 most of the Alfords had cleared out of Morgan and Guernsey Cos, OH.There were many Alfords in Ohio in 1850 though.We will report your need for this Alford help in our Alford association online newsletter.
