Jeremiah "Jerry" YORK III is the first child of ten children born to Semore YORK I and his wife Sylvania L ALDRIDGE, daughter of William ALDRIDGE I and his wife Elizabeth.
This is based on the research of Darnell Harton Griffin, Linda Allred Cooper and Dennis York.

Sarah ALLRED married Jeremiah YORK III about 1776 in Colonial Guilford (now Randolph) County, North Carolina.

Note:
1. Darnell Harton Griffin , "From England to America, Our Allred Family", (ISBN: 978-0-692-568862-6, Logan, Utah, Watkins Printing, 2005), 247-248
2. Darnell Harton Griffin has documented that Jeremiah YORK and his wife Sarah ALLRED were in Grainger County, Tennessee by 1799 per the early Tennessee Tax Lists Records, See Footnotes, 979, 980 and 981 within note 1 Book page 248. above.
3. Based on the birth of Jane “Jenny” YORK, b. 1800 NC; d. 1875 TX; her tombstone is inscribed "Born in Randolph County, North Carolina". This supports and suggests that Jeremiah YORK returned from Grainger County, Tennessee to his native Randolph County, North Carolina where two additional children were born. Perhaps Sarah ALLRED was not agreeable to live in Tennessee but pursued her husband Jeremiah YORK IIIa to return to their native Randolph County, North Carolina.
