ALFORD/GREENE - In The Greene Family of St. Albans, Vermont, together with the origin and history of The Greene Family in England and Rhode Island, by Walter and Ella Greene (1964), p. 40, the author has a question on the parentage of Susan ALFORD, who married Nathan GREENE: Susan ALFORD is the sister of Rebecca ALFORD who married Alfred HATHAWAY, according to Susan’s affidavit in the Revolutionary War pension application files. On March 17, 1840, Susan GREENE states that she is age 66, living in St. Albans, and a sister of Rebecca Hathaway, whose maiden name was Rebecca Alford. The letter is in the file of Rebecca Hathaway, widow of Alfred Hathaway, applying for pension benefits. Another file, that of George ALFORD, has a letter from Rebecca stating that she is his sister. Additionally, brothers Oliver and Benedict have letters in the George ALFORD file. They are all children of Benedict ALFORD, and Rebecca OWEN is the mother of all but Benedict. Other siblings (but not Susan) are listed in R. D. Owen, Descendents of John Owen of Windsor, Connecticut (1622-1699) (1941), p. 75. Regarding the name “Benedict,” I also had difficulty finding Rebecca Hathaway's father because in Hathtaways of America (1970 edition), p. 185, Rebecca is stated as being the dau. of Olaf ALFORD. Evidently he did not like the name Benedict.
For anyone else related La Alfred & Rebecca (ALFORD) HATHAWAY, I have further corrections to the volume above: Alfred & Rebecca moved to Porter, New York, ca. 1822, where Alfred died in 1829, not to St. Albans as the book states. Also, Rebecca made a pension affidavit in 1844 and was still living in 1850 inPorter, New York, age 88, per the 1850 census, where she is listed in the household of her sister, Pauline (HATHAWAY) Fisher.
