Known D escendants of
H ENRY M ILES A LFORD
This is not the typical AAFA genealogy. These descendants of Job Alford are from a file created by John
A. Rogers, AAFA #0544 who is the AAFA authority on Job Descendants. John has researched these folks
to a greater degree that AAFA had researched most other Alfords. John also includes more information in
his report than is found in a typical AAFA genealogy.
Nevertheless it is a work in progress and probably is not complete and with some error. Generations 5-7
have been removed to protect the privacy of most of the living. The work contains many names but the
only ones listed in the index are those listed within the registry system.

Henry Miles Alford #332 b. 1815, South Carolina, (son of Job Alford #325 and Sarah Ann Turner? #326)
m. (1) Mary Boyington #895, b. 1819, South Carolina, d. 1851, Washington County, Florida, buried:
1851, Washington County, Florida, m. (2) Martha Crews #7146, b. ABT. 1817, Georgia, d. ABT. 1890,
Holley (Santa Rosa County), Florida, buried: ABT. 1890, Unknown. Henry died ABT. 1882, Baghdad
(Santa Rosa County), Florida, buried: ABT. 1882, Unknown. The sixth son of Job was (22) Henry Miles
Alford, who was born in 1815 during the short time his parents either passed through or lived in South
Carolina on their way to Jones County, Georgia. He married South Carolina native, Mary Boyington
(1819-1851) around 1835, probably in Talbot County, Georgia, home of several Boyington (Boynton)
households, but possibly Harris County. Mary Boyington was the probable daughter of Aaron Boyington,
a native of Massachussetts. Aaron Boyington was living in Barnwell District, South Carolina in 1810,
birthplace of Mary. There was a John C. Boynton in Talbot County in 1830 living within a few houses of
Henry Miles Alford's father, Job Alford. There were other Boyntons/Boyingtons in Talbot County, as
well as in Jones County, Georgia in 1830, near where the Alfords had lived earlier in the 1820s. In about
1836-37, Henry Miles and Mary Alford migrated to Early County, Georgia, where they were still living in
1840 (federal census). It is possible that Henry Miles moved to the land that his father, Job, won in the
1820 land lottery in Early County. Living nearby the couple in the federal census of Early County in
1840, was Samuel Boynton, a probable relative of Henry's wife. Also in Early County in 1840 was John
Aaron Boynton, probable brother of Mary Boyington Alford. After a short stay, Henry obviously moved
to Coffee County, Alabama around 1841, because his second known child was born in Coffee County in
1842. In 1840 there was a Samuel Boyington (age 50-60) living in the part of Dale County, Alabama that
became Coffee County in 1842. Early County, Georgia and Dale County, Alabama were just across the
Chattahootchie River from each other. Thus Henry Miles Alford preceded his brother, John Turner
Alford, to Alabama by a couple of years. Henry stayed in Coffee County until about 1848, when he moved
into Washington County, Florida, near the city of Vernon. The 1850 Washington County census lists
Henry and his growing family. In Washington County in 1850, only three houses away from Henry Miles
and his wife, was Haywood Boyington (age 25), possibly a brother or first cousin of Mary. A possible
scenario is that Henry, Mary and their young family, along with Mary's relative, Haywood, had decided to
go settle cheap land in the newly created State of Florida, which became a state in 1848, the same year
that Henry Miles went to Washington County. By this time his brother, John Turner Alford, had also
moved to Coffee County, Alabama. Mary Boyington Alford probably died in 1851, after the birth of her
son, James Brink Alford. After her death in Washington County in 1851, Henry moved back into Coffee
County, Alabama, just northeast of Samson, around early 1852. The 1855 Alabama State Census of
Coffee County, shows Henry living as a widower with five sons under 21 years of age. On November 1,
1858 he bought land in Coffee County (Range 19E, Township 3N, Sections 12 & 13) very near the current
town of Ino, Alabama, about 9 miles northeast of Samson and near the location of Friendship Church.
This was in the near vicinity, where Samuel Boyington, now dead, lived in 1840. Henry Mile's land was
very close to the Pea River, with neighbors including, Hezekiah Wize, James Hall, James Phillips, and
Gazaway Fleming. Here he met his second wife, Martha Crews (maiden name from son's death
2
certificate) (1817-abt 1890), originally of Georgia, and married her around 1856. Martha was the
daughter of John Crews, who lived a few houses away from Henry in 1855. The family was still living in
Coffee County in 1860 (federal census), but moved to western Walton County, Florida in 1866 after the
Civil War. Henry Miles, along with his wife and older sons, Moses and Brink, settled in the Shoal River
District of Walton County near the current city of Crestview in April of 1866. None of Henry's minor
children made the move with him, perhaps because of the threat of Yellow Fever and Malaria in Florida at
that time. They mostly moved in with older siblings in Coffee County, Alabama. The 1870 Florida
census shows only Brink Alford, a young adult son, was living with his parents. As they got grown, some
of the children later moved down to join Henry and Martha. The move to Florida could have been caused
by financial disaster of the Civil War. The descendents of this second marriage were much poorer than
the ones of the first marriage. He was shown in the 1870 federal census in the Shoal River District of
western Walton County. Many settlers came to this area to make a living in the burgeoning timber
industry. After the transfer of Florida to the United States in 1821, several sawmills started operation
around the bays and streams around Pensacola, especially the Blackwater River area. The towns of Milton
and Baghdad developed as timber mill towns. Baghdad had the most lumber mills. On the eastside of the
Blackwater River was the mill owned by John Hunt, called the "Dog Farm." The ample forests of virgin
timber, brick, and turpentine fostered a booming shipbuilding and brick industry. Timber was cut and
floated down the Blackwater River to the sawmills of Milton and Baghdad for export and the local
shipyards. According to the 1870 census Henry Miles was a timber industry laborer. This area later
became part of Okaloosa County. In about 1871, Henry moved his family to East Bay, Florida in Santa
Rosa County, looking for work at the many saw mills and shipbuilding companies there. In 1880 (federal
census) Henry was listed in Santa Rosa County (Baghdad) as a day laborer. Henry died about 1882 and it
is believed that he is buried in an unmarked grave at Hickory Hammock Cemetery at Milton, Florida
(Santa Rosa County). After Henry's death, Martha and her children moved in with her son, Thomas Miles
"Tom" Alford. Martha (a widow in 1885) is still listed with Thomas on the 1885 Florida State census,
living in the Baghdad area of Santa Rosa County.

in 1862 in Coffee County, Alabama. In 1866, instead of going with her parents to Florida,
she moved in with her older half-brother, Richard Redden Alford, where she lived for an
undetermined time. In 1870 she was no longer with Richard Redden, but she was also not
listed with her parents in Florida. Sometime in the 1870s, she did go to Santa Rosa County,
Florida to join her parents, where in the 1880 (federal census) she, an illiterate woman, was
still living at home with her parents in Santa Rosa County (Baghdad). In 1885 she was living
with her brother, Tom, along with her mother, in Santa Rosa County. Nothing further is
known of Martha Jane.

son of Henry Miles Alford, was born in 1865 in Coffee County, Alabama. When his parents
moved to Florida in 1866, he apparently was taken to raise by a sibling, as he was not living
with them in 1870. By 1880 he was shown living with his parents in Santa Rosa County,
Florida by the census. Nothing else is known of him.

Elizabeth H. Alford, daughter of Henry Miles Alford, was born in 1866 in Coffee County,
Alabama in 1866, just prior to her parent's move to western Walton County, Florida. When
her parents moved to western Walton County, Florida later that year, she apparently was
taken in to raise by an older sibling. Elizabeth was not living with her parents in 1870
(census), but in 1880 (federal census), Elizabeth was shown living with her parents in Santa
Rosa County, Florida (Baghdad). In 1885, Elizabeth was living with Allen Hinote and his
wife, Sally, as "help." On December 4, 1889, Elizabeth married Charles Weaver (?-bef 1930)
in Santa Rosa County. In 1930 Elizabeth "Lizzie" was living in Pensacola as a widow. She
was using her maiden name at the time. Two sons of her brother, Thomas Alford, Fulton and
Moses, were living with her. Elizabeth died on March 25, 1941, and is buried in an unmarked
grave at Whitmire Cemetery in the Ferry Pass neigborhood of Pensacola, according to funeral
home records. Nothing further is known of her.

1915, Unknown. Sarah died ABT. 1915, Hacoda (Geneva County), Alabama, buried: ABT. 1915,
Unknown. (57) Sarah Ann "Sallie" Alford, daughter of Henry Miles Alford, was born in May of 1836 in
Harris County, Georgia. If my supposition is correct as to the name of Henry Miles's mother is correct,
she was named after her paternal grandmother, Sarah Ann Turner Alford. She grew up in Coffee County,
Alabama and Washington County, Florida. In 1858 "Sallie" married Andrew Jackson Weeks (1824-aft
1900) in Coffee County. In 1860 Sarah and her husband lived next door to her father, Henry Miles Alford
in Coffee County, Alabama (town of Ino). I know nothing else about this family, except that it lived in
Coffee County, Alabama as late as 1870 (census) and was living in Geneva County (Gilmore's District) in
1900 and in 1910. Death dates and marriage date are unknown. They had the following children: James
William Weeks (6/23/1860-2/10/1939 / b. Coffee County, Al. / m. Rebecca White), Harmon "Dobbin"

Mariah: (58) Miles Aaron Alford was the oldest son of Henry Miles Alford. He was born in February 15,
1842 in Coffee County after the family moved from Georgia. It is apparent he was named after his father,
Henry Miles Alford and his maternal grandfather, Aaron Boyington. In 1862 Miles married Alice "Allie"
Thorn (1845-aft 1930), shortly before he enlisted in the CSA a few days later, in September 1862 at
Notsaluga, Alabama. He marched off to war with his wife pregnant with their first child, Mary Jane. He
was captured at Spottsylvania Courthouse on May 5, 1864, and was paroled at Elmira, N.Y. on February
9, 1865. He was listed as being 5'8" tall with black hair and a fair complexion. When he returned from
the war he settled back down and farmed in the Ino, Alabama area, northeast of Samson, possibly on his
father's land, who had moved to Florida. He apparently was divorced from Allie in the 1890s, as Alice
was living in the Piney Grove area (near current Samson) as a dicorced head-of-household on the 1900,
1920, and 1930 census. On May 6, 1893, Miles bought land (Range 20E, Township 2N, Section 28) on
the western edge of current Samson, Alabama (Geneva County). He married his second wife, Mariah
Lucinia ? (9/9/1865-aft 1930) in Elba, Alabama in February of 1901, but had no other children. On June
1, 1901, while living in Elton, Alabama, he applied for and received a Confederate pension. On June 19,
1921, Miles Alford died at his home just west of Samson at Pera, Alabama. In 1930, his widow, Mariah,
was living with her stepdaughter, Lela Alford Sellars and her family. He is buried at Piney Grove Baptist
Church cemetery 6 miles north of Samson on State Road 87.
Children by Alice "Allie" Thorn:

#11384. Mary died AFT. 1930, Unknown, buried: AFT. 1930, Unknown. (143) Mary Jane
Alford, daughter of Miles Aaron, was born in November 1862 (per 1900 census) in Coffee
County, Al. It is uncertain as to whether she ever married. In 1900 and again in 1920, on the
Geneva County census, she is shown living with her divorced mother, Allie Thorn Alford. In
1930 Mary and her elderly mother, lived in Samson (Piney Grove district) alone. Her name is
still shown as "Alford" and is listed as single. She had a daughter named Elizabeth Alford.
Thus it appears she had this child out of wedlock. Unfortunately, that is all I know about her.

County, Alabama, d. AFT. 1910, Geneva County, Alabama. Richard died 21 Jan 1929, Samson (Geneva
County), Alabama, buried: 23 Jan 1929, Piney Grove Baptist Cemetery, Alabama. Richard Redden
Alford, son of Henry Miles Alford, was born on January 26, 1843 in Coffee County, Alabama (Ino), and
was a life-long resident of the Coffee and Geneva Counties in Alabama. In September 4, 1862 he enlisted
in the CSA (Company K of the 5th Alabama Regiment) at Greenville, Alabama. He served under General
Robert Rodes in the Army of Northern Virginia. He was trained for war at Camp Watts at Notsaluga,
Alabama before heading to the Army of Northern Virginia. In June of 1864 he was wounded in the right
arm in battle near Cold Harbour, Virginia at was hospitalized at Howard's Grove Hospital on June 8, 1864.
He returned home to his parents home in Ino, Alabama (Coffee County) early in 1865 and soon married
his first wife, Rebecca Ann Phillips (4/1/1845-9/7/1871), that year in Coffee County. Rebecca was the
daughter of family neighbor, James Phillips. Richard Redden's father, Henry Miles Alford, moved in
April of 1866 to western Walton County, Florida (Crestview area). In the 1866 Alabama state census,
Richard is shown living in Coffee County, near Ino. He was apparently raising three younger sisters,
Queen Anne Victoria, Sylvesta, and Martha Ann, as he was shown with girls their age. These could not be
his daughters because of their ages. Siblings raising younger siblings was normal in this family. Henry
Miles, the father was apparently, an unstable parent. The 1870 census shows Richard still at Ino with wife
and two sons (James and Mason). Rebecca died on September 7, 1871 during childbirth. She is buried in
Weeks Assembly of God Church near Ino, Alabama (Coffee County), 9 miles northwest of present-day
Samson. Richard Redden then married Nancy Sarah Duncan (b. 1848 in Coffee County) in 1872 in
Geneva County, where he moved to around 1879. On May 3, 1872, Richard bought land from Stoudemire
& Company in Coffee County. Nancy Duncan Alford died about 1882 in Geneva County. Richard
Redden married his 3rd wife, Sarah Ann "Sally" Phillips, sister of his first wife, (6/1852-2/1924) in about
1889 in Coffee County. On July 3, 1890 Richard moved near Samson, Alabama when he bought land two
miles north of town (Range 20E, Township 2N. Section 21). He also bought land in the Flat community,
about 1 mile east of present-day Samson the same year. It was this land, on the Samson to Geneva Road,
where Richard Redden Alford made his home and farm. His house became the first Post Office in what is
now the town of Samson, then called Flat. Sometime after 1910, Richard had a stroke, leaving him
partially paralyzed. Richard's son, Richard "Bink" Alford and his family, moved into town to live with
him, to help take care of him. After Richard's wife, "Sally", died in February 1924, Richard sold the house
and moved back to "Bink"'s farm, where he lived until his death. After his stroke, Richard Redden used a
wheelchair, in which he would propel himself around by use of his big toe. Today (2000), there is a
chicken processing plant on the old home site. This part of the Samson area was then (early 1900s)
referred to as the "Flat" community. On June 6, 1916 Richard applied for a Confederate pension at
Samson (witnessed by his brother, Miles Alford). He died on January 21, 1929 in Geneva County, and is
buried at Piney Grove Baptist Church Cemetery north of Samson, Alabama. Sarah Phillips Alford died
sometime after 1920.

Live Oak Baptist Church Cemetery in Fla. (60) Moses Alford, son of Henry Miles, was born in 1845 in
Coffee County, Alabama, near the present town of Ino. For reasons unknown, he was living with his
older sister Sarah and her husband, Andrew Jackson Weeks in Coffee County, Alabama in 1860 as a 14
year old. Obviously, he was being raised by his older sister after the death of his mother. In October 1863
Moses enlisted in Company E, 54th Regiment of Alabama, Confederate States Army at Elba, Alabama.
At the end of the war, he was discharged in 1865 in South Carolina. Upon returning home, Moses
rejoined his father. On April 9, 1866 (from pension application) Moses moved with his father and family
to the Shoal River area south of Crestview in western Walton County, Florida. In 1870 he shows up there
as a single head of household, according to the federal census. In 1871, his father moved to the East Bay
area of South Santa Rosa County. In August of 1874 (from widow's pension application) Moses married
Susan A.Griffin (7/15/1853-8/27/1944), in Crestview. The couple settled at Moses's home on the Shoal
River about 4 miles south of Crestview. Moses lived and farmed there until his death on March 22, 1922.
On March 5, 1904, Moses applied for and was granted a Confederate pension at the rate of $120.00 per
year on July 9th, the same year. He is buried in the Live Oak Baptist Church Cemetery south of
Crestview. His wife was also buried there on August 28 after her death in 1944.

around 1866. Queen married William Crews (1847-?) in about 1869 in in Geneva County. After marriage
the couple moved to Florida, where in 1870, they were living with Queen's father, Henry Miles Alford, in
the Shoal River District of Walton County. In around 1871 the young couple followed Queen's father to
the Baghdad area of Santa Rosa County, Florida. In 1879, William either died or there was a divorce, as

William W. Alford, son of Henry Miles Alford, was born in 1849 in Washington County, Fla. In about
1852 he moved with his recently widowed father to Coffee County, Alabama, where he grew up.
Apparently, around 1865, he married Susan Maddox (1847-5/28/1919) in Coffee County, Alabama. In the
1870s, William apparently moved to the Milton, Florida area, near where his father had moved around
1866, although I cannot find him on the 1880 census. The family is a mystery until about 1918. On May
28, 1919 (death certificate), William's wife, Susan died in Milton, with William listed as the informant.
Susan was buried at Hickory Hammock Cemetery just outside Milton. I know nothing further of William.

in Holt, Florida. (65) James Brink Alford, son of Henry Miles Alford, was born in June 1851 in
Washington County, Florida. After the death of his mother, his father moved the family back to Coffee
County, Alabama. As a child in Coffee County his older sister, Sarah Ann Alford Weeks and her
husband, Jackson Weeks, raised him. He was living with this family in 1860 (federal census). In 1866, as
a teenager, he moved with his father and step-mother, Martha Crews Alford, to western Walton County,
Florida (current Okaloosa). He was shown with his parents on the 1870 Walton County (current
Okaloosa) census. Brink moved to the Town of Holt, Florida (current Okaloosa County) in the mid 1870s.
In about 1879, he married his first wife, Arlena J. ? (1848-abt 1890). He had only one child by her, in
1880. In 1880 (federal census), the couple was still shown living in Holt. Brink's sister, Martha Jane was
living with them at this time. In 1885, they were on the State Census, still in Holt (then Santa Rosa
County). Apparently, Arlena died about 1890. In 1893 Brink married a cousin of his, Donna Jane Alford,
daughter of Francis Marion Alford, Sr., (March 1855-abt 1913) in Geneva County, Alabama. Brink, a
known moonshiner, was arrested in 1897 in Santa Rosa County, and sent to prison for "breaking and
entering". He served as an inmate at the Florida State Prison at High Springs in Alachua County, Florida
from March 27, 1897 to March 27, 1901, four years of a 6 year sentence. Brink's younger brothers, George
"Sug" and Thomas Miles Alford, were also apparently involved, as they served lesser sentences for
"Breaking and Entering." Brink's wife, Donna Jane, was living in Holt, Florida in Santa Rosa County
(current Okaloosa County). After his release, he was reunited with his family, and in 1910, he was shown
living in Santa Rosa County, Florida with his wife and daughter. Brink died on October 3, 1918 (death
8
certificate) at home in Okaloosa County. Brink was buried in the old Holt Cemetery in Holt, Florida
(Okaloosa County). Nothing further is known of them.

Florida, buried: 1953, Holley Point Cemetery in Holley, Florida. Thomas Miles "Tom" Alford, son of
Henry Miles Alford, was born on October 12, 1856 in Coffee County, Alabama. He grew up in Coffee
County, Alabama and later in western Walton County, Florida, near Crestview, where his parents moved
to in 1866. Today Crestview is in Okaloosa County. In about 1872 the family moved farther west into
Santa Rosa County to the Blackwater Bay town of Baghdad. Here, Thomas, and other members of the
family, found work in the flourishing shipbuilding industry of the area. The 1885 Florida State census
shows Tom as a head of household in Baghdad (Santa Rosa County), with his mother, brother "Shug", and
sister, Jane living with him. On March 28, 1889 Tom married Sarah "Sally" Victoria Vann (b. 5/18661924) in Santa Rosa County, Florida. In 1897, Thomas got involved with his brother, James Brink Alford,
in a "Breaking and Entering" crime, and on March 29, 1897, he was sent to prison. He served almost one
year and was released on February 7, 1898. In 1900 Thomas was still living in Baghdad, Florida (Santa
Rosa County), just south of Milton. His sister, Jane was living with them at this time (census). The family
also showed up on the 1910 and 1920 census of Santa Rosa County. On October 15, 1900, Thomas sold
land in Santa Rosa County to John Weekly. Shortly after the turn of the turn of the century, Thomas was
employed as a ship carpenter at the Jesse Rogers shipyard at Gopher Point, on the south side of East Bay.
He and Jesse Rogers built the Grand Rapids, which was later sold to the East Bay Transportation
Company. For several years, this ship hauled sash and doors from the sash factory at Baghdad to the
Navy Yard. In 1920 Thomas was a sawmill worker and carpenter, living in Holley, a small timber
industry town in south Santa Rosa County. His wife, Sally, died in Santa Rosa County in 1924 (death
certificate). That same year on May 25, 1924, Thomas bought land in East Bay from Maggie White. For
a period of time, according to the Pensacola City Directory of 1934, Thomas was living with his son,
Moses Alford at 410 South Florida Blanca Street in Pensacola. Thomas died of old age at home in
Holley/Navarre, Florida (Santa Rosa County) on July 3, 1953 (death certificate). He is buried at Holley
Point Cemetery in Holley, Florida (Santa Rosa County), with funeral services held at Holley Church.

Miles Alford, was born May 1857 (as per 1860 Coffee Co. census) in Coffee County, Alabama. In 1866
his parents moved to current Okaloosa County, Florida. He apparently moved in with an older sibling and
stayed in Alabama, as he was not listed with his parents in the 1870 Florida census. In 1882 he married
Martha Sarah Grace (5/1864-abt 1918) in Samson, Alabama (Geneva County), where they settled. In
1900 he was shown living in Geneva County, Alabama in June 1900 in the Piney Grove area. In 1907
Henry moved his family to Holt, Florida (current Okaloosa County), where his brother, James Brink
Alford lived. In 1920 Henry, now a widower, was listed in newly created Okaloosa County, Florida, in
Holt. At the time he lived in a rented home, 3 houses away from his son James Brink Alford, on the "Old
Spanish Trail", which is now US Highway 90. The 1930 federal census showed him living in Holt as a
widower, joined by his son, Daniel. In 1935, according to the Florida State census, Henry was living in
Holt with his sons, Daniel, Brink, and Edward. He never attended school, according to the same census.
Henry Miles, Jr. died about 1939 in Holt, Florida (Okaloosa County). He is buried in an unmarked grave
in the new Holt Cemetery, near the marked grave of his son, Daniel. His wife had died shortly before
1920.

Samson, Alabama in Geneva County. Daniel attended through the 7th grade in school and
could read and write. He moved with his parents and in 1907 to Holt, Florida (current
Okaloosa County). Daniel registered for the military draft of 1917 in Okaloosa County. At
that time, he worked for the Mays & Belcher Saw Mill Company in Holt. On June 25, 1918
he was inducted into the Army at Crestview, Florida. He went to boot camp, but the war
ended before he was sent overseas. He was stationed at Raritan Arsenal, New Jersey. On
February 27, 1919, he was honorably discharged. In 1920, employed as a sawmill laborer, he
was still living with his father in Holt and was not married. The 1935 Florida State census
shows Daniel living with his father and two brothers, James Brink and Edward in Holt,
Florida. He was listed as head of household, owner of the house, and a laborer in the timber
industry by trade. Daniel again served in the Army during World War II in Germany. Daniel
never married, had no children, and nothing else is known of him. He died on August 25,
1975 in Okaloosa County, and is buried in the new Holt Cemetery.

Co (current Okaloosa, Florida, buried: ABT. 1885, Unknown. (68) L.V. Sylvesta Alford, daughter of
Henry Miles Alford, was born in December 1859 in Coffee County, Alabama, where she grew up. In
1866, she moved in with her older half-brother, Richard Redden, when her parents moved to Florida. She
was obviously still living with an older sibling, as she is not with her parents in the 1870 census of
Florida. I would say she probably moved to current Okaloosa County, Florida (Crestview) with her older
brother, Moses, as she was no longer living with Richard Redden in 1870. In 1878 she married Levi
Fairon Griffin (1856-1931) in current Okaloosa County, Florida. Levi first appears in 1860 in the
household of George Palmer and Elizabeth Palmer at the age of four in Santa Rosa County. Elizabeth
could have been his mother by a previous marriage to a Mr. Griffin. In 1880, Sylvesta was living with
her half-brother, Moses Alford, in Crestview (current Okaloosa County, Florida) in the 1880 federal
census, along with her son, William Henry Griffin. In the meantime, her husband, Levi, was working at
Point Washington, Florida in Washington County at a sawmill. He was listed as a married boarder.
Sylvesta died in current Okaloosa County, probably around 1885, as she had only one known childwith
Levi: William Henry Griffin (7/17/1879-aft. 1930 / Walton Co., Fla -current Santa Rosa). On June 1,
1893, Levi married again to Catherine E. Weekley (12/1873-? / b. Mississippi) in Milton, Florida. By
1895 he had moved his family, including William Henry (Sylvesta's son), to the Alabama coast, and by
1898, he had settled in Gulfport, Mississippi (Harrison County), where he worked as a steamboat pilot and
lived in 1900. In about 1904, Levi Fairon Griffin, Sr. and family returned to Florida, settling in the East
Bay/Holley area of Santa Rosa County. His wife was no longer living with him, but I am not sure if it was
due to separation or death. Levi shows up in the 1910 census in East Bay, as a single head of household
with children born of his second marriage, Emily (5/1894-aft 1930 / m. Ervin Anderson), Levi Fairon, Jr.
(8/10/1896-8/1971 / d. Pass Christian, Mississipppi / m. Ellen Nichols), Lemon (1/1899-aft 1920), and
Lazerus (1903-aft 1920). He was living in Pensacola in 1918, according to his son's (Lemon) draft card
from Pascagoula, Mississippi. At sometime, he returned shortly to Mississippi, where he died in 1931.
His body was returned to Florida, where he was buried at Rocky Cemetery in Niceville, Florida. Levi and
Sylvesta's son, William Henry "Griffen" was living in Pensacola in 1910. He was a carpenter by trade, as
was Levi, his father. He had married Louise ? (1876-aft 1930 - b. Mississippi - her father was from
England) around 1902. They had children: Silvesta "Vesta" Griffin (1903-aft 1930), apparently named
after her grandmother, Silvesta Alford, and John Griffin (1905-unknown). Around 1915, William Henry
moved his family back to Mississippi, where in 1918, he lived in Pass Christian and worked as a ship
carpenter in Pascagoula at the International Ship Company. On September 9, 1918 he registered for the
draft at Gulfport. By 1900, he had moved just outside Moss Point, Mississippi (Jackson County) along
with his children, Vesta and John, and wife, Louise. In 1920, Levi Fairon Griffin, Jr. was living in
Pensacola with his sister, Emily Griffin Anderson. By 1930, he had moved to Niceville, Florida in
Okaloosa County. In 1930, William Henry and Louise were in Pass Christian, Mississippi (Harrison
County), living alone, as their children had moved out. His son, John I.Griffin was living in nearby Long
Beach, Mississippi, with his wife Lenora. Sylvesta married Charlie Faggeret (?) (?-?) and had children:
Lydia, Norma, Annie, Betty, David, Wallis, Cooper, and 5 others.
Levi: 1860 - living in Santa Rosa County, Florida with apparently mother, Elizabeth, and step-father,

Whitmire Cemetery in Ferry Pass, Florida. George Andrew "Sug"Alford, youngest son of Henry Miles
Alford, was born January 2, 1872 in East Bay, Florida (Santa Rosa County). He grew up around the
shipbuilding and timber industry in South Santa Rosa County. The family moved to Baghdad, Florida in
the late 1870s, where George met and married Martha "Mattie" Colley (10/1875-1/12/1936), daughter of
Raymond and Rebecca Anderson Colley, on August 14, 1895. The 1885 Florida state census shows
"Shug" living with his bother Tom, mother, and sister, Jane. His father, Henry Miles Alford, apparently
died between 1880 and 1885. After marriage, George moved his family to Escambia County, Florida
(Brent Precinct), in Pensacola, where he showed on the 1900 federal census as George (Alfred). In 1897,
George got involved in a crime with his older brother, James Brink Alford. On October 7, 1897, he was
arrested in Santa Rosa County and sent to prison for "breaking and entering" and was released on August
2, 1898. George and his brothers were also involved in moonshining from time to time. In 1900, his
brother-in-law, Louis Colley, was living with them. George shows up on the 1908 Escambia County
Voters List as "George Halford." In 1910 he was still living in the Brent precinct, listed as George
(Alaford), where he was a commercial fisherman. In October 1911 George was arrested for Assault &
Battery in Escambia County, for which he was sentenced to 45 days. In 1926, Geroge had an ongoing
feud with a man named Charles Carroll. On March 24, 1926, Mr. Carroll supposedly was caught by
George Alford trespassing on Geroge's property in Ferry Pass, Florida. Both gentlemen were in the
moonshining business. A shootout incurred between Charles Carroll, along with his brother, Richard, and
George Alford, along eith his oldest son, Ned. George's younger son, Robert Reuben supplied them with
ammunition. George was found guilty of Assault with Intent to Murder, for which he was sentenced to 2
years hard labor. He became involved in moonshining in the 1920s and 1930s. The 1930 census shows
George living in Pensacola with his wife and two minor children at 419 Garden Street in District 15 of the
City of Pensacola. According to the Pensacola City Directory in 1934, George and Martha were living at
414 East Main Street. George's wife, Martha, died in 1936 at their home at 508 West Government Street
in Pensacola and is buried at Whitmire Cemetery in Pensacola. On August 5, 1945, George died at his
home at 436 East Main Street in Pensacola. He was buried at Whitmire Cemetery.

World War I draft. In July 1926 in Escambia County, Ned was convicted of Assualt & Intent
to murder, along with his father, George Alford. He was sentenced to 18 months. Ned
married Annie Bell Hutchings (1909-aft 1948) in 1941 in Washington County, Florida. Ned
was the owner of the Alford Fishing Camp near Milton and also did some moonshining on the
side. In 1945, Ned made his home at 1818 North "R" Street in Pensacola. On September 24,

"Steely" "Drew"Alford, son of Richard Redden Alford, was born in December 1869 in Coffee County,
Alabama. For some reason, after the death of his mother, Rebecca Phillips Alford, he went to live with
her brother, his Uncle Hezekiah Phillips. Presumably, this was because of the fact there was a woman in
the house to take care of the infant. In 1880 he was still listed with his uncle's family in Geneva County.
His father remarried later, but not in time to take care of an infant. As a young man, he was married to an
unknown spouse (?-abt 1891) in about 1889. According to a family legend, told by John Richard Alford
II, sons Reuben and James Ervin had different mothers, meaning "Steely's" first wife must have died after
the birth of John Richard, his first child. "Steely" married Ella F. Sasser (1876-3/21/1920) in about 1891.
In 1900 he was listed as "Drusilla" Alford in Geneva County. They soon moved to Green Bay, Alabama
(south of Opp on Hwy 331) in Covington County in 1901, where he died a year later in 1902. His wife
soon remarried to Joseph Wise in Covington County (Green Bay).

buried: 1951, Whitmire Cemetery in Escambia, Florida. (150) Thomas Miles Alford, son of Richard
Redden Alford and Nancy Sarah Duncan, was born on October 2, 1873 in Coffee County, Alabama.
Thomas was named after his Uncle Thomas Miles Alford, youngest son of Henry Miles Alford. On April
14, 1891 he married Sarah Angeline Elizabeth Atkinson (8/29/1875-1/24/1935) of Geneva County,
Alabama. The couple homesteaded originally an area one mile west of Samson during the 1890s.
Thomas had bought land (Range 20E, Township 2N, Section 28) on August 4, 1893. They cut the trees
down and built their own log house. Life was very rough there as evidenced by the fact they had a pig
eaten by an alligator from a local creek. Around 1903 they moved to town. Thomas Miles became the
first police chief in Samson, Alabama in 1904. The 1910 census shows Thomas and family living on
"Ditch" Street in Samson. Once Thomas was walking two men who he had in custody to jail, when they
overpowered him and hit him on the head with his gun. He fell down face first on to a railroad
embankment. They shot at his head, but missed. It took several weeks for him to recover from the head
injury. It is thought by relatives and descendents that his head injury led to behavior that led to the
couple's divorce, in 1913. Sarah was living as a single parent on Bay Street (nicknamed Ditch Street
because of a huge ditch that ran beside it) in Samson, Alabama in 1920, according to the federal census.
After the divorce life was very difficult financially for Mrs. Alford. She took odd jobs to make ends meet,
including working for a butcher. Sarah died in 1935 in Columbus, Georgia and is buried there in the
Riverdale Cemetery. Thomas Miles moved to Escambia County, Florida, near Warrington, in 1915. On
May 27, 1916 he married his second wife, Radford (6/16/1898-11/1/1939 / b. De Funiak Springs, Fla.) in
Baldwin County, Alabama. In 1917 he registered for the draft in Escambia County. While he lived in
Warrington he was the Chief of Police (1915-1929). In 1930, Thomas shows on the Baldwin County,
Alabama census, living in Robertsdale. Around 1939 he moved to Mobile, Alabama shortly after his
second wife, Annie, died. Thomas Miles spent many years as a U.S. Marshal. He died February 2, 1952
in Escambia County, Florida, and is buried at Whitmire Cemetery near Warrington, Florida next to his
wife.

Gopher Point on the south side of East Bay. As a young boy, he would cleanup around the yard as his
father, Tom, and Jesse Rogers built the ships. In March 1911, Lee was arrested in Escambia County for
Vagrancy and sentenced to 60 days. In 1917 Lee registered for the military draft in Santa Rosa County,
while living in Holley (Santa Rosa County), Florida. At that time he was self-employed as an engineer on
a motor boat. On April 27, 1918 he was inducted into the Army at Milton, Florida. He served overseas

(Holley), Florida (Santa Rosa County). During his teen years he remained employed in the lumber and
shipyards around East Bay. On May 24, 1924, Lee bought land in East Bay from Maggie White, next to

(171) James Brink "J.B."Alford, son of Henry Miles Alford, Jr., was born in August 12, 1883 in Coffee
County, Alabama. James Brink was named after his Uncle James Brink Alford, son of Henry Miles
Alford, Sr. In around 1907, he moved with his parents to Holt, Florida in Santa Rosa (current Okaloosa)
County. At the time the family was in Santa Rosa County, however, in 1915, Holt was cut into the newly
created Okaloosa County. On August 27, 1914 "Brink" married Annie Hicks (4/30/1891-before 1935),
daughter of John Calvin and Sarah Ann Martin Hicks, in then Santa Rosa County. In 1917 he registered
for the military draft in Okaloosa County. He had reported for boot camp, but was soon discharged
because of having only one eye; he had lost the other when he was young. They settled into a house, in
28
the "old Alford slough" off the "Old Spanish Trail", presently US Highway 90, near Holt. In 1920, Henry
and Annie were still living there according to the census, just three houses from Brink's father, Henry
Miles Alford, Jr. Next door, lived John Hicks, Brink's brother-in-law. At this stage of his life, "Brink"
worked as a sawmill worker. In 1935, James Brink had moved in with his father and two brothers, Daniel
and Edward. This 1935 state census also shows that "Brink" had never attended any school. Annie had
died prior to 1935 and James soon married Mary Etta Williams (6/1/1913-11/18/1985) on October 12,
1935. Between 1939-1942, Brink worked for the WPA. James and Mary Etta remained in Holt, until they
died. James Brink died on July 4, 1954 and his wife, Mary Etta died in 1985. They are both buried at the
New Holt Cemetery in unmarked graves.

"Ed" registered for the military draft of 1917 in Okaloosa County. On June 25, 1918 he was inducted into
the Army at Crestview, Florida. He was discharged on February 27, 1919. In 1920, employed as a

Oneal (1894-aft 1930). The couple settled in Holt, where they had one stillborn child together on
September 16, 1927. The 1930 federal census showed that Henry and Isabelle were still in Holt. Isabelle
either died or there was a divorce around 1932, as the 1935 Florida State census showed him living, as a
single man, with his father and two brothers, Daniel and James Brink. He was unmarried at this time, but
29

Unknown. William died AFT. 1930, Unknown, buried: AFT. 1930, Unknown. William Henry Griffin
(7/17/1879-aft. 1930 / Walton Co., Fla -current Santa Rosa). On June 1, 1893, Levi married again to
Catherine E. Weekley (12/1873-? / b. Mississippi) in Milton, Florida. By 1895 he had moved his family,
including William Henry (Sylvesta's son), to the Alabama coast, and by 1898, he had settled in Gulfport,
Mississippi (Harrison County), where he worked as a steamboat pilot and lived in 1900. In about 1904,
Levi Fairon Griffin, Sr. and family returned to Florida, settling in the East Bay/Holley area of Santa Rosa
County. His wife was no longer living with him, but I am not sure if it was due to separation or death.
Levi shows up in the 1910 census in East Bay, as a single head of household with children born of his
second marriage, Emily (5/1894-aft 1930 / m. Ervin Anderson), Levi Fairon, Jr. (8/10/1896-8/1971 / d.
Pass Christian, Mississipppi / m. Ellen Nichols), Lemon (1/1899-aft 1920), and Lazerus (1903-aft 1920).
He was living in Pensacola in 1918, according to his son's (Lemon) draft card from Pascagoula,
Mississippi. At sometime, he returned shortly to Mississippi, where he died in 1931. His body was
returned to Florida, where he was buried at Rocky Cemetery in Niceville, Florida. Levi and Sylvesta's
son, William Henry "Griffen" was living in Pensacola in 1910. He was a carpenter by trade, as was Levi,
his father. He had married Louise ? (1876-aft 1930 - b. Mississippi - her father was from England) around
1902. They had children: Silvesta "Vesta" Griffin (1903-aft 1930), apparently named after her
grandmother, Silvesta Alford, and John Griffin (1905-unknown). Around 1915, William Henry moved his
family back to Mississippi, where in 1918, he lived in Pass Christian and worked as a ship carpenter in
Pascagoula at the International Ship Company. On September 9, 1918 he registered for the draft at
Gulfport. By 1900, he had moved just outside Moss Point, Mississippi (Jackson County) along with his
children, Vesta and John, and wife, Louise. In 1920, Levi Fairon Griffin, Jr. was living in Pensacola with
his sister, Emily Griffin Anderson. By 1930, he had moved to Niceville, Florida in Okaloosa County. In

Alford, daughter of Thomas Miles Alford, was born on November 3, 1906 in Geneva County, Alabama,
near Samson. She grew up there and found work in the textile factories of southeast Alabama at the age of
10. At this time, the Geneva County Schools required each parent to pay a small fee for each child who
attended school. By the 5th grade her mother could no longer afford to pay for her education, pushing
Myrtle to find work with her sisters in the textile mills. She met her first husband, George Thomas, while
working in a cotton mill in Macon, Georgia. He was a service technician to the machines and worked out
of Adrian, Michigan, where his company was located. They were married in Macon, Georgia on February
18, 1923 and moved to Adrian, Michigan. They were divorced a short time later, in 1925. In early 1926
Myrtle married a salesman named Charles Henry Marr (10/4/1883-7/10/1968 / b. Onsted, Michigan) in
Michigan. They settled in Lenawee County, Michigan (Cambridge township). Charles was a likable man,
but was given to drink and partying. Soon after the birth of her second child by Charles, she divorced him
in 1930 due to lack of support. After the divorce, Myrtle moved to Toledo, Ohio, virtually penniless and
without any support. She worked at several jobs to support her children, but had it pretty rough, until
about 1931, when she met her third husband, Sava Mihailoff (11/14/1891-9/19/1986), at a small restaurant
she was working at. Sava worked at a nearby railroad station and ate at the reataurant daily. He also
played the violin in the Toledo Police Department Symphony. They were soon married in Bowling Green,
Ohio on March 13, 1931 and made their home in Toledo, Ohio. In the 1950s Myrtle worked at the US
Army Rossford Ordinance Depot in the data processing division, working with primitive computers.

About 1960 the couple moved to 30 miles north of Iron Mountain, Michigan on the upper peninsula of
Michigan. Myrtle died in Iron Mountain, Michigan (Dickenson County) on December 25, 1978, at Iron
Mountain Hospital, and is buried at Toledo Memorial Park Cemetery in Sylvania, Ohio. Myrtle and
