Son of Nathaniel Almond 1731 – 1789 and Alsey Comaday Cannady 1731 – 1790
Served 3 times in the military during the Revolutionary War (verified per his Pension document w/name of Edward Allman)
Married Jennie Dutton in 1784 in Orange Co, NC. 8 known children were listed in his Will of 1839.
NOTE: 13 Sep 2015-Thanks to a cousin for questioning the 'Hinson' as his first name. No verification can be made so I deleted Hinson from his first name and from my ancestry.com tree. I just found his last Will, signed & dated 8 Jan 1839, with the name of Edward Almond.
