John,
Wish I had been of more help in solving your problem. Susan is still unattached but the only connection I can come up with is to Madison Co. Only the two children of John Alford born of his second marriage to Nancy Allembough figure in the estate settlement as far as I have been able to determine. The widow's dower wasn't laid off until 1815 although John was deceased by 1802. He had several children by his first wife Sarah which included a William and a Fielding.
I don't think I ever sent you a copy of the following:
Madison Co. Order Book, Vol. C, 1800-1813
Nov. 7, 1803, p. 207:
On the motion of John Goosey--Satisfactory proof was made to the Court that the said John is entitled to four hundred acres of land lying on Buffalo Creek of the South Fork and the Kentucky River by virture of his having improved the same agreeable to an act of the General Assembly for Settling and Improving the Vacant lands of this Commonwealth and locating as follows, to wit: Beginning at the mouth of Buffalo Creek on the bank of the River at an elm walnut and Sugar tree thence South forty five poles up the River to a white oak thence East three hundred and fifty-seven poles to a white oak, thence North a hundred and seventy-eight poles to a white oak thence West three hundred and fifty seven poles to a stake on the bank of the River thence up the River South a hundred and thirty three poles to the Beginning including his improvement and it is ordered that a certificate be issued accordingly.
John Alford's land was on Muddy Creek and I have no idea if the two pieces of land were even close to each other.
