Notes for Andrew Jackson Alfrey
His death certificate, #19749, records A. J. Alfrey, died 22 July 1937 in Rowan Co., Ky, aged 78 yrs 7 mos 18 days, born 9 Dec 1857, occupation retired farmer, father Thomas Alfrey, mother blank, married, wife Jane Alfrey, informant Allen Alfrey, burial in Pine Hill Cemetery, Rowan County. The cause of death lists a whole menu of ills: “mytrial regurgetation, arterial schlorosis, chronic nephritis, extrinsic dropsical condition.”
Notes for Lucretia “Lou” Gregory
Her death certificate (#22286) lists Lou Alfrey died 12 June 1919 at Spurlington, Taylor Co., Ky, born 11 June 1857 in Rowan Co., Ky, occupation house keeper, father Jamison Gregory born Bath Co., mother Harriet Jones born Rowan Co., cause of death organic heart disease, informant A. J. Alfrey, husband, residence Spurlington, burial at Union Ridge Cemetery, Spurlington, Ky
The censuses are more consistent with a date of birth in 1855 or 1856 (she was listed as age 5 in 1860 and age 14 in 1870), so her year of birth may have been reported wrong on the death certificate. Morgan County birth records for 1855 and 1856 are available on microfilm; I should look for her name.
Notes for Andrew Jackson & Lucretia “Lou” (Family)
Another possible child is Rosa Alfrey born 1885 who married Arthur Staton in 1900.
