No Documented Proof; Only Proposed Scenario. More research needed to prove or disprove the following regarding the marriage to Thomas ALLRED.

Sarah Elizabeth York is the eleventh born child of the ten children born to Jeremiah York I and his wife Sarah Wilson. When she was eighteen it is an unproven scenario with no documentation to prove or disprove she married in 1752 to her neighbor Thomas Allred age twenty seven. The Allred families had been good friends and neighbors of the Jeremiah York family since the early days when they lived in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Note: This above relationship is only a proposed scenario by genealogist Dennis York based on dates, geography and long time family friendships and intermarriages between the York and Allred families. No research has been found so far to support the evidence of an Elizabeth Twiggs alleged to have married Thomas Allred. The marriage of Thomas Allred to Elizabeth Twiggs is widely held by many genealogical websites but believed to be very questionable or in error after many decades of genealogical research.

No one has found documentation to prove who Thomas Allred’s wife was or when or where they married. People see the 1809 will of Thomas ALLRED which names his wife Elizabeth, may assume Elizabeth was his only wife.

"No one knows who Thomas’ first wife was or what her name was (because of the lack of documentation). Yes, there are lots of family histories that claim she was Elizabeth Twiggs but that has not been proven either. She may have been named Elizabeth Twiggs – I don’t know. No one knows. No documentation has been found." No records in Randolph County have ever revealed the existence of a Elizabeth Twiggs family living there.

Elizabeth was born about 1725, based on birth of first child in 1745. Twiggs may have been her maiden name ... but no proof has yet been found.

I think they lived with their son John and his family as of March 15, 1755, there is evidence of this in the land grants.

Her husband's will, dated 8 Nov 1809, proved May 1810, (Book 3, p. 188) names wife Elizabeth, children James, William Elias, John, Mose, Levi, Eli, Rachel Brown and Elizabeth Jones, grandson William, son of Elias.

Lots of family histories claim Elizabeth Twigg (sometimes spelled Twiggs) was married to Thomas Allred (died 1809 Randolph County, NC).I have not been able to find any documentation or proof of this marriage.If you have documentation/proof - I would love to swap info with you!!

This is curious. Some sources show her married to Thomas in 1752, then to his brother William in 1757-1761, as in succession. Elisabeth married Thomas Allred, son of John Allred and Ann (or Annie) Hamilton. (Thomas Allred was born in 1730 and died in May 1810.)

Very informative article - Who Was Thomas Allred’s Wife?

Thomas named his wife Elizabeth in his will. ...but was that Elizabeth his only wife and the mother of his children? ...Unfortunately, some deeds have been “lost to time” so we do not have documentation of Thomas’ first land grants or deeds. However, there is a Randolph County, NC, deed (Deed Book 4, Page 56) dated April 10, 1788 which gives us some information. Per this deed, Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth, sold 144 acres to Jeremiah York. ... Thus we have documentation that Thomas was married in [by] 1788, his wife’s name was Elizabeth, he was selling land to Jeremiah York and he had originally purchased the land from John Allred. ...

However, some of Thomas’ grandchildren and great grandchildren left behind journals and/or family histories that give us some birthdates. One of these is a family history that begins:

Andrew Jackson Allred was born 12 Feb 1831 in Monroe Co., Missouri. He was the eighth son and the twelfth child of James Allred and Elizabeth Warren. His father was born in Randolph Co., North Carolina on 22 Jan 1784 to William Allred and Elizabeth Thrasher.

Andrew Jackson Allred was born 12 Feb 1831 in Monroe Co., Missouri. He was the eighth son and the twelfth child of James Allred and Elizabeth Warren. His father was born in Randolph Co., North Carolina on 22 Jan 1784 to William Allred and Elizabeth Thrasher. ...This gives us the date of birth, 22 Jan 1784, for one of Thomas’ grandchildren, James Allred, son of William. William was the 3rd child born to Thomas’s son, William, the first two children being daughters Sarah and Mary. Assuming William was probably at least 20 or at least in his early 20’s when his first child was born, this gives us a time frame for William’s possible birth 1750-1760.

...As Elias testified that he turned 75 years old on the 6th of May 1833, this tells us his birthday was May 6, 1758.
Another clue about the birthdates of Thomas’ children is the 1850 Federal Census for Northern Division, Randolph County, NC, page 243B, Family Number 1185, which is the entry for Joseph Allred, another grandson of Thomas. Joseph’s father was Thomas’ son, John. Joseph’s age is listed as 74 years old telling us he was born 1776. Assuming John was at least 20 years old or at least in his early 20’s when his first child was born, we now have a range of 1745-1755 for John’s birth year.

By these documents we now have circumstantial evidence that some of Thomas’ children were born within the range of 1745-1760. Who was their mother? Many family histories state her name was Elizabeth Twiggs but, to my knowledge, there is no documentation to prove this.

... John’s last documented appearance in Court and/or Land Records is the 1779 deed mentioned above (Northern Neck Grants 1690-1874, Land Office Record Group 4, Archives Branch, Virginia State Library, Book R, Page 342) which details the Widow Dower for Elizabeth Julian Allred. Did Elizabeth Julian Allred have any children prior to her marriage to Thomas Allred? The answer is yes:

George Julian 1752 - c.1822

Benjamin Julian c.1758 – 1852

Jesse Julian c.1757 – 1846

Was Elizabeth Julian Allred the mother of any of Thomas Allred’s children? The answer is No. Refer back to the portion of this report that details the ages of some of Thomas Allred’s children. As you will see, Thomas’ children were born during the same time period that John Julian’s children were born. This clarifies Elizabeth Julian Allred, widow of John Julian, was not the mother of any of Thomas Allred’s children – as least not the older children.

Sarah Elizabeth York is the tenth born child of the ten children born to Jeremiah York I and his wife Sarah Wilson. When she was eighteen it is an unproven scenario with no documentation to prove or disprove she married in 1752 to her neighbor Thomas Allred age twenty seven. The Allred families had been good friends and neighbors of the Jeremiah York family since the early days when they lived in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

No Documented Proof; Only Proposed Scenario for either Sarah Elizabeth YORK or Elizabeth TWIGGS as the wife of Thomas ALLRED. More research needed to prove or disprove the following regarding the marriage to Thomas ALLRED.

The eleven children of Sarah Elizabeth York and Thomas Allred are believed to be but not documented:

1. Elizabeth York, b. 1752 VA; d. 1848 NC 2. Levi Allred, b. 1754 VA; d. 1856 GA 3. William Allred, b. 1756 NC; d. 1849 NC 4. Elias B "Eli" Allred, b. 1758 NC; d. 1840 GA 5. John Allred, b. 1760 NC; d. 1856 NC 6. Rachael Allred, b. 1762 NC; d. 1841 NC 7. Moses Allred, b. 1764 NC; d. 1877 GA 8. Catherine Elizabeth Allred, b. 1766 NC; d. 1877 NC 9. Eli Allred, b. 1770 NC; d. 1834 NC 10. Thomas Allred, Jr., b. 1771 NC; d. 1858 TN 11. Levi Allred, b. 1772 NC; d. 1858 AL

It is suggested that Sarah Elizabeth York and Thomas Allred were part of the 1755 wagon train migration into North Carolina traveling with her parents.
