I response to a query on the Montgomery surname board on GenForum, I have been researching
the family of Melinda Montgomery born about 1827 TN married William Applegate in Shelby
County in 1848 and think she is your Allred's aunt not her mother. I believe
Melinda's parents were James and Jane Montgomery who were in 1850 in Addison Twp,
Shelby County both age 58.
Rosanah Montgomery married Thomas Allred in 1838 in Shelby County. In the 1856 State
Census of Iowa, Polk County James and Jane Montgomery both 62 born TN, with Nancy Ann age
23,also Lewis and Levey Ann ALLRED age 9. In the home of William L. Montgomery (a nephew
of Mary and Robert of Shelby County) is Anderson ALRED age 16.
In the 1850 census is the family of Thomas Allred age 41 TN in Addison Twp Shelby County
with Susannah 31 KY and many children including Anderson 9 and Lewis and Lydia A. age 3
(another child Sandford age 1 is listed between Lewis and Lydia, I don't conclude that
she is not part of this family) I don't have another marriage for Thomas so the
Susannah and Rosanah maybe the same person. There is no Allred names in the 1860 census
for Shelby County.
Anderson is found in the 1880 and 1900 census and gave TN as the birthplace of both his
parents.
In the home of Melinda Applegate in 1870 is Lewis "Olred" age 23.
