Solomon Allred, V

He is Solomon V because his nephew (son of oldest brother Theophilus) was older and was Solomon IV.

Solomon Allred, son of Solomon and Mary Hayes Allred, was born about 1775 in North Carolina, his age being approximated by referring to the 1850 census. I believe he was the youngest child in the family. Even though it is not known exactly where in North Carolina he was born it is likely that his birthplace was either in Randolph County or in Richmond County. His father died intestate in Richmond County in 1782 when Solomon was about seven years old. His mother would outlive his father by 49 years.

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.
