Getting The "L" Out of Allred

by James V. Allred

    As I research my family genealogy, I continue to come across two major spellings of Allred.  There are probably as many stories about how this happened as there are Allreds.  Here is how my family came to spell the name Allred and Alred.

    My grandfather, Samuel Jackson Allred, (b.Polk County, Georgia, 1861), married Mary Jane Weems in September 1887.   They had seven children before Grandmother died.  Grandfather then married Stashy Eliza Bradley about 1906 in Alabama.  They had four children.

    These two "batches", as they were referred to as children, became very competitive.  The competition came to the point where the second batch decided to gain their own identity and changed the spelling of their names to Alred.  And so, now you know the rest of the story.
