Well we must be 4th or 5th cousins 4 or 4 times removed or some such. We have been in SC since 1970 and we have lived in Greenwood and now live out in the country with a Hodges address. I am the research Director for Park Seed Co. in Greenwood and My wife has just retired from the school system here. We have 2 children and 3 granddaughters.

We have been through the Alston House in Charleston and also Brookgreen Gardens, which is the plantation site of some of the early Alstons. I talked to the historian there but could not find a link to granddad.

I have a brother, Fred, in Lampasas and a brother, George, in Stephenville. Also Granddad had a brother in the Plainview area - I can't remember his name, but he had a son Roy and grandson Johnny that lived in the Plainview area. Roy was doing some genealogy work and was excited when I moved to SC from Plainview, but he died shortly after I got here.

Where do you currently live? I could not for sure read your e-mail address that was posted, thus the post here.

Are you working onb the genealogy? If you know of any of the ancesters to our great grandfather, John, I would be interested.

I have a book titled "The Allstons and Alstons of North and South Carolinas". It does pretty good up to the Civil War but does not mention the migration to Arkansas.

Thanks for the information,
Jim
