Ancestors of Charles Hines Dorsey


      158. John Alford, born Abt. 1693 in New Kent County, Virginia; died May 2, 1726 in New Kent County, Virginia. He was the son of 316. John Alford and 317. Elizabeth. He married 159. Grace.

      159. Grace

Notes for John Alford:
The St. Peter's Parish Register proves that John was married to Grace and his death date. It shows that they had children: Frances, Isaac, Elizabeth, Unity and Charity. It also shows that Grace later married Michael Harfield. John Alford identified the last three children in his will signed May 1, 1726. At that time John owned nine slaves and they were given to the daughters in the will. In a court case in Halifax County, September 1771, John Bates was seeking a settlement involving the slaves and the will was introduced as evidence. The court case goes on to say "We find that a certain John Bates intermarried with Elizabeth Alford a legatee therein named . . ."
