David Alderman, Sr.

Notes:

Melba Allen, on her Daniel Alderman website, writes that: "He was lean and tall, somewhat negative in manner, honorable in all respects, but not demonstrative. He loved his people, his home and his farm life. He did not unite with any church until advanced in years. In 1815 he moved with some of his children to Bulloch County, Ga.; there he joined a Baptist church. He died in 1831; he and his wife, Jemima, were buried in the Brannen cemetery near Statesboro, Georgia"

David married Jemima Hall about 1773 in North Carolina. Jemima was born before 1753 in Duplin County, North Carolina; died on 21 Mar 1832 in Duplin County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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]
