In 1799, Solomon Allred, son of Solomon and Mary Hayes Allred, was married to Mary Aldridge, daughter of Nathan and Hannah York Aldridge. More than likely they were married in Tennessee. Nathan Aldridge was born about 1739 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. His wife was Hannah, sometimes called Hannah Madden and sometimes referred to as Hannah York. I do not know which surname is correct. They were the parents of twelve children, born in North Carolina.

Mahala Jane Allred, Solomon and Mary’s first child, was born in Tennessee in 1800. Their son, Andrew, referred to above, was born in about 1801 or 1802. According to the tax records of Anderson County, Tennessee, Solomon was living there by 1802. [TAX: FHL US 976.873/D2p Album of Anderson County Tennessee by Ruth Petracek. 1978. p. 21. 1802/ Solomon Alred.] The 1800 census for Anderson County was burned, but has been reconstructed through tax and other records.

Another son, Isaac, was born in 1805 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Thomas was born in about 1809, Joseph Wesley in about 1812. The 1840 census for Anderson County, Tennessee, lists Solomon Allred with his wife and one male age ten to fourteen. It is possible that the youngest son was still living at home. In 1817, Mahala Jane Allred, the first child in the family was married to John Key. They were the parents of at least six children, James Wesley Key, John Miller Key, Isaac M. Key, William Allred Key, Polly Key and Sarah Jane Key. Mahala was deceased by 1844.
