Welcome
To Tennessee! Your place to share and swap info about Tennessee Allreds! Many of the Allreds who left North Carolina in the late 1700's and early 1800's went to Tennessee. Some stayed, others just passed through on their way to other states and/or territories. We have information on three of these family groups, and are doing research on others. Jonathan and Theophilus Allred, grandsons of the "original" Solomon, moved their families from North Carolina in the early 1800's. Jonathan moved first, showing up in Kentucky land records in 1806. Theophilus arrived a few years later. Although the land they settled on was located in Kentucky, the state and county lines changed over the next several years and that same land is now located in Overton County, Tennessee. On the map, just east of Livingston near the Fentress County line you will see the two communities named after these men: Allred and Solomon's Hollow. Click here to visit the Allred page on the Overton County web site. William Allred, son of the "original" Thomas, took his family and left Randolph County, NC in 1787. They traveled through South Carolina and Georgia before settling in Bedford County, Tennessee. Again, the county lines changed, and the land William and his family lived on is now located in Marshall County, TN. In 1830, after William's death, his family left Tennessee and moved toward the West, eventually becoming some of the very first white settlers to enter the Utah Territory. Margaret Allred Wilson, grand daughter of the "original" John, moved with her family to Warren County, Tennessee. Land records dated 1848 show the family settled on land located near the Jacksboro community. Solomon Allred and his wife, Mary Aldridge Allred, settled in Anderson County, TN. Solomon is a "mystery" Allred. To our knowledge, no one has been able to document who his parents were. Four letters written to and some of his family members give us some very interesting clues about his family relationships. We invite you to read them over, study the clues, and let us know what you think. If you have any additional information on Solomon and his family, please contact us! Below are links to the information we have gathered on these families. No, we don't have it all and we welcome your input.
