Sarah Elizabeth York is the tenth born child of the ten children born to Jeremiah York I and his wife Sarah Wilson. When she was eighteen it is an unproven scenario with no documentation to prove or disprove she married in 1751 to her neighbor Thomas Allred age twenty seven. The Allred families had been good friends and neighbors of the Jeremiah York family since the early days when they lived in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

No Documented Proof; Only Proposed Scenario for either Sarah Elizabeth YORK or Elizabeth TWIGGS as the wife of Thomas ALLRED. More research perhaps will prove or disprove the following regarding the marriage to Thomas ALLRED.

The eleven children of Sarah Elizabeth York and Thomas Allred are believed to be but not documented as follows:

1. Elizabeth York, b. 1752 VA; d. 1848 NC
2. Levi Allred, b. 1754 VA; d. 1856 GA
3. William Allred, b. 1756 NC; d. 1849 NC
4. Elias B "Eli" Allred, b. 1758 NC; d. 1840 GA
5. John Allred, b. 1760 NC; d. 1856 NC
6. Rachael Allred, b. 1762 NC; d. 1841 NC
7. Moses Allred, b. 1764 NC; d. 1877 GA
8. Catherine Elizabeth Allred, b. 1766 NC; d. 1877 NC
9. Eli Allred, b. 1770 NC; d. 1834 NC
10. Thomas Allred, Jr., b. 1771 NC; d. 1858 TN
11. Levi Allred, b. 1772 NC; d. 1858 AL

It is suggested that Sarah Elizabeth York and Thomas Allred were part of the 1755 wagon train migration into North Carolina traveling with her parents and perhaps other families like Allred, York, Julian. Diffee, Lane, Brown, etc.

Note: This above relationship is only a proposed scenario by genealogist Dennis York based on dates, geography and long time family friendships and intermarriages between the York and Allred families. No research has been found so far to support the evidence of an Elizabeth Twiggs alleged to have married Thomas Allred. The marriage of Thomas Allred to Elizabeth Twiggs is widely held by many genealogical internet sites but believed to be very questionable or in error after many decades of genealogical research since 1968. The Sarah Elizabeth York and Thomas Allred is far more believable and more logical especially from York and Allred intermarriages and the names of their children.

Note:
"No one has found documentation to prove who Thomas Allred's wife was or when or where they married. People see the 1809 will of Thomas ALLRED which names his wife Elizabeth, may assume Elizabeth was his only wife."

"No one knows who Thomas' first wife was or what her name was (because of the lack of documentation). Yes, there are lots of family histories that claim she was Elizabeth Twiggs but that has not been proven either. She may have been named Elizabeth Twiggs – I don't know. No one knows. No documentation has been found." No records in Randolph County have ever revealed the existence of a Elizabeth Twiggs family living there"...per Linda Allred Cooper.

Dennis York Genealogist since 1968 and Family Historian of the York and Allred families is of his opinion that Sarah 'Elizabeth' YORK married Thomas Allred (b.1725 PA- d. 1810 NC). It is believed they were most likely married in 1751 in the log cabin of the bride's parents at Terrapin Neck, Frederick County, Virginia (now Jefferson County, West Virginia), British Colonial America. They were the parents of 10 Children. "No one knows who Thomas' first wife was or what her name was (because of the lack of documentation). This a proposed scenario due to the very close friendships between the YORK and ALLRED families living in the same geographic locations per the US Census records. This proposed Scenario is recommended for your consideration.
