William Allred, Jr. (c1740-1825) was a Regulator from a part of
Orange County which later became Randolph County. He was
born in Prince George’s County Maryland where his father,
William Allred, Sr., owned land along the Potomac River near
Antietam National Battlefield. The family moved to North
Carolina in the 1750’s. Land records prove they settled on land
located at the mouth of Bush Creek of Deep River in Randolph
County near the modern-day towns of Cedar Falls and
Franklinville. William Jr. and Sr. were both active Regulators;
both signed Regulator Petition No. 9 in May 1768. Later, during
the American Revolution, both received pay vouchers for
providing provisions to Patriots and were mentioned in Loyalist
Colonel David Fanning’s journal. William Jr.’s first wife is
unknown. His second wife was Elizabeth Diffee (died 1827) and
they are buried side by side in the Billy Trogdon Cemetery.

William Allred Sr. was a Regulator from part of Orange County
that later became Randolph County. He was born c. 1715 in
Chester County, Pennsylvania, son of Solomon Allred born in
1680 in Lancashire, England. William purchased 3 tracts of land
along the Potomac River in Prince George's County, Maryland in
1746, sold that land in 1752 and moved to Orange County, NC.
The land he lived on was "on Bush Creek of Deep River." He and
his son, William Jr., signed Regulator Petition No. 9. He also
appears in Orange County Court Records when he attempted to
help Job Self recover property taken by the Sheriff and pay Self's
taxes. Later, during the Revolutionary War, he received a Pay
Voucher for selling beef to Patriots on January 12, 1781. The date
of his death and burial place is unknown.

Thomas Allred (c1725-1810) was a Regulator from a part of Orange County which later became Randolph County. He was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He lived with his nephew, John Allred. Thomas and John (who was also a Regulator), were among the very first settlers to arrive in central North Carolina in the mid-1940’s. John’s land records show that he and Thomas lived on the mouth of the Mount Pleasant Creek of Sandy Creek and Deep River, near the modern-day town of Franklinville. Thomas and John were very tight-knit, living together (or at least on the same land) until their deaths. During the American Revolution, Thomas received a pay voucher for selling goods to Patriots. Thomas married twice and with his first wife had 9 children. Most of his children and grandchildren left North Carolina after the American Revolution.

John Allred was a Regulator from Orange County which later became Randolph County. He was born about 1725 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. His grandfather Solomon Allred was born in England and his father Samuel Finley was born in Ireland. He lived in Prince George’s County, Maryland and Frederick County, Virginia before arriving in North Carolina around 1745. Land records prove he lived on the mouth of Mount Pleasant Creek of Sandy Creek of Deep River near Herman Husband’s mill. John was one of 19 men who petitioned Orange County Court for the release of fellow Regulator Thomas Wellborn on August 25, 1771. John died in 1792 leaving behind nine children. His grave has not been found.

Nathan Aldridge was a Regulator from a part of Orange County which later became Randolph County. He was born about 1739 (birth place unknown) and died in 1826 in Knox County, Tennessee.

Pleasant Creek of Sandy Creek of Deep River, making him a neighbor of John and Thomas Allred, Semore York and Herman Husband. Nathan signed Regulator Petition No. 9 along with two of his brothers, Nicholas and James. Their sister, Sylvania, was married to Semore York. Nathan moved to Knox County, Tennessee in the late 1790's. Some of his descendants living in Alabama spell his surname Alldredge but it is not known why or when the name spelling changed.
