Allred Allred Family Cemetery, Brookhaven,
Lincoln County, Mississippi Solomon Allred first shows up in North Carolina land records in 1752 when he received a land grant for land located in today's Randolph County. He sold this land in 1771 and moved south to Richmond County, NC. Per his estate records, he died there in 1782. After his death, his sons, Phineas, Jonathan,
Solomon, Francis and John, appear in land and tax records for Richmond County
for a brief time. Phineas is listed in the 1790 Federal Census for
Richmond County, NC (page 45, Fayette District) as: ( The 1790 census did not list the names of any of Phineas family members, so the names listed above come from other resources.) On May 25, 1801, Jonathan and Phineas sold their land to Hubbard William and both moved to Barnwell County, South Carolina. (Richmond County, NC Deed book E, 1799 - 1801, pages 218 & 219) Both men show up on the 1810 Federal Census for Barnwell County, SC. In the early 1800's traveling west of Georgia meant traveling through dangerous Indian territories. Passports were required for travel, the government's way of trying to keep up with how many white settlers were traveling and the routes they were taking. Page 249 of the book Passports of Southeastern Pioneer 1770 - 1823 lists the following information: Georgia
Passports This is the first documented evidence we have for Azariah. John Bolling (Boling) was his father-in-law. Azariah was married to John's daughter, Celia. This family group had arrived in Amite County, Mississippi by 1813. Per notes from George Allred : "On a trip to Mississippi, I located a book titled, "Amite County, Mississippi 1699 - 1865, Volume II, The Churches". This book contains the minutes from the original books of the Baptist and Presbyterian Churches in Amite County, MS. John Bowlin, father-in-law of Ezra/Azariah, and Ezra/Azariah Allred are identified in the minutes of the Zion Hill Baptist Church in October 1813 when Ezra was admitted to the church. January 1816 Brothers Bowlin and Allred had a charge brought against them for non-attendance. March 1816 Brother Bowlin reported that Brother Allred told him he did not intend to fill his seat in conference for which he was excommunicated. Selah Allred, believed to be Celia Bowlin Allred, was mentioned also in the minutes of this church. Selah was also mentioned 2 times in the minutes of the Mars Hill Baptist Church at a much later date as having been admitted to that church." Azariah and Celia had moved their family to
