A BRIEF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY OF JAMES ANDERSON ALLRED
Contributed by John Arthur Allred, his son
Due to travels in the important localities pertaining to this
history and to continuous research, the information herein has
been verified by the writer.
James Anderson Allred, son of William Allred and Sarah Warren
Allred, was born on November 22, 1819, in Bedford County,
Tennessee.
The above William, born January 19, 1790 in Georgia, was the son
of William Allred I and Elizabeth Thrasher Allred, who lived in
North Carolina, Randolph County. William I born in North
Carolina, was the son of Thomas Allred, who with two or three
brothers came from England and settled in North Carolina before
our American Revolutionary War.
William Allred I and family moved from Georgia to central
Tennessee where he died at about the age of 74 in Bedford
County. Records show that William Allred was a school teacher.
He was in the American Revolutionary War. His wife, Elizabeth
Thrasher Allred, died at about the age of 87 years in Monroe
County, Missouri. Upon the death of William Allred I all of his
children were living in Bedford County, Tennessee. Their names
were: Mary, Sally, James, Isaac, William, John, and Elizabeth.
The above William Allred II is the father of our subject, my
father, James Anderson Allred.
In the fall of 1828 and 1829 the Allred connections all left
Tennessee and settled in Monroe County, Missouri, on the Salt
River, later known as the “Allred Settlement”, leaving William
II and family in Bedford County, Tennessee. William II was in
the War of 1812. March 10, 1813, William Allred II married Sarah
Warren, daughter of John Warren and Martha Herrington Warren,
who then lived in Maury County, Tennessee. In 1820 John Warren
and family moved to the western part of Tennessee and settled in
Dyer County. The first circuit court held in Dyer County was
held in the home of John Warren. Warren is a prominent name in
the early history of our country. Martha Herrington Warren was
of French descent on one side and one of her parents was Dutch.
Sarah, the oldest child of John Warren and Martha Herrington was
the wife of William Allred II and the mother of James Anderson
Allred. Sarah Warren’s brothers and sisters were: Elizabeth,
Greene and Henry (twins), Eli, Andrew, Edmond, Louis and Martha
Ann.
William Allred II and brothers owned extensive property in
Tennessee consisting of several hundred acres of land in Bedford
and Maury Counties. The records of said property are still
retained in above named court houses. |
