3rd wife of Lodwick Alford

Not the daughter of Brian Ferrell, Sr

If Elizabeth, wife of Lodwick Alford was a Cade, she was the daughter of Robert Cade, Jr., of New Kent and Susanna (Crump) Cade. Susanna, wife of Lodwick Alford, is seen as her sister. The third wife of Lodwick Alford is seen as Rebecca Ferrell without supporting evidence; her name is unknown.

This Lodwick is one of the most controversial ancestors we Alfords have. Look for frequent updates on this one as we can get them coordinated.

Lodwick Alford b. about 1710, New Kent Co., VA, m. (1) Elizabeth _____ , b. Apr 29 1717, New Kent Co., VA, d. May 29 1735, New Kent Co., VA, m. (2) Susanna _____ b. Sep 25 1718, m. (3) Unknown . Lodwick died 1800, Franklin Co.,

His birth date is estimated. His presence is proved by several entries in the St. Peter's Parish Register, New Kent County, VA. His birth in VA is assumed. There has long been a family tradition- reinforced by some DAR records- that Lodwick married a Rebecca Ferrell. Nothing has been found to support this idea. A North Carolina court record lists his wife as Sarah and some believe he married, Sarah the widow of his brother Goodrich. It appears that the daughters of Goodrich were mentioned in Lodwick's will.

There is nothing to indicate the mother of any of the children other than William, Elizabeth and Jacob whose births are recorded in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, VA. There is a will and court records to support the death of a Lodwick in Franklin County at about this time. A copy of the will is available on the website.
