Father, James Alvey
Mother, Elizabeth "Betsy" Unknown
Grandfather, Jesse Alvey
Grandmother, Emerentiana Unknown

James married his first cousin Susannah Alvey on September 30, 1815 at Washington Co, KY. They were blessed with four daughters and two sons. James's left a Hardin Co, KY will which was proven on Aptil 21, 1845. His wife Susannah Alvey was lsited with his land on the 1846 tax lists but by 1848, the land was in the name of his sons. Susannah is thought to have died by 1848. James and Susannah's exact death dates and location of burials has not been found. They lived on a farm not far from St Clare Church and cemetery and may be buried there or on a their farm in the area.

James Alvey came to Kentucky with his mother, Elizabeth "Betsy", and three siblings about 1806, which is the first year that Betsy shows up on the KY Tax lists. She and her four children are later listed on the 1810 Washington Co, KY census. James' three siblings are Charles Alvey, Philip Alvey and Catherine Alvey (she married Christian Wiseman). Although not proven, I believe that James, Jr and Charles Alvey are sons of a James Alvey, Sr, who is a son of Jesse Alvey. Charles' half-siblings, Philip and Catherine are the children of a man who died in OH and left them $100 each. This man stated in his will that they were children he fathered while living with Elizabeth Alvey of St. Mary's Co, MD, who had moved he thought to Nelson Co, KY.
