William,
I have also been in contact with Wendy. By the way, Mattie married James Johnson. Apparently Moses M. Alford was Moses Miles Alford, named after his father, Miles Aaron Alford. Wendy aso mentioned that her grandfather had a story of 11 children of Job, and only 9 making the trip from NC to GA. I hope we can make this fit somehow. I would love to hear this story; maybe he knows of some info we do not have at all. By the way, I have concluded that Job's first child and daughter was Matilda and not Sarah. Job was bondsman at her mrriage to William Owens in 1814 in Wake Co., NC before the trip to GA. William and Matilda were members of the same church in Jones Co., GA in 1822 that Jobs's family belonged to. There was obviously a strong relationship between Job and Matilda. William H. Alford (1811), who we have presumed to be a son of Job, named a daughter Matilda Laura Alford, presumably after hew Aunt Matilda Alford Owens. At present, we know of only 8 children, Matilda, Fada, Clinton, John Turner, Elizabeth, Julius Charles, William H., and Henry Miles, that Job had before the move to GA in about 1815-1816. I wonder who the ninth child was? He/She would had to have been born after 1800. There was a Sarah Alford and Lucy Alford at New Hope Baptist Church in 1822. I have concluded that Lucy was the wife of Job's older brother, Goodrich (Could be wrong) and that Sarah was Job's wife, Sarah Turner Alford (theory).
