Notes:

Melba Allen writes that "John was of medium height and stout; he was of a serious mind, shrinking from public notice and filled with an intense religious zeal. From early life he was a faithful member of Wells Chapel Baptist Church; he lived quietly on his farm and was recognized as an outstanding wheel-wright and cabinet-maker. He read a great deal, especially the Bible and religious books. The end of life came to him suddenly while reading his Bible in his eightieth year. His wife, Mary Cashwell, was a native of Duplin County, North Carolina."

John married Mary Cashwell about 1770. Mary was born before 1750 in Duplin County, North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Melba Allen, on her DANIEL ALDERMAN website, writes that "Daniel was the son of Thomas Alderman and wife Mary Seagrave. He was born 1711 in MA. Daniel the proven son by his father's will. At the time of Thomas's death in 1715, in Cohansey, N. J., he owned an estate in Simsbury, Conn. By his will he gave that New England property to his youngest son, Daniel, who continued to reside at Cohansey. This Daniel was born in 1711 and it is through him that the name and blood came down to the southern branch of the family.

In 1745 Daniel Alderman was called in to assist in the settlement of the estate of Isaac Harris of Cohansey (Book Q, page 594, Trenton). The deceased, Isaac, was a first cousin of Daniel's wife.

Daniel and Abigail moved from Deerfields, New Jersey, Cohansey Precinct of Salem County, in the year 1755 to the state of North Carolina with their seven children. They came by water to Wilmington where they remained a short time. Along with many others who came about the same time they made their way forty miles inland to the newly established Duplin County. They selected a small tract of land on the west side of Doctor's Creek where they made their home."

Daniel married Abigail Harris about 1740 in Cohansey, Salem County, New Jersey. Abigail was born on 26 Mar 1720 in New Jersey; died about 1785 in Duplin County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Melba Allen, on her DANIEL ALDERMAN website, writes that "About 1740 Daniel Alderman married Abigail, third child of Nathaniel Harris, and his first wife, Miriam Brooks. Abigail was born 26 March, 1720."
