Ailsey is found, by her own name, in the following US Federal Census records:
- 1850 for Overton Co., Tn., by her name (Alcey) with her husband, Adam, and her daughter, Margaret Hinds and her granddaughter, Almira (Valina) Hinds, age 3, and her other grandchildren by her daughter Almira Holford; Erasmus Lee Holford, age 14 and granddaughter, Almira Holford, age 12.

In the settlement of her father, E.L. Tippett's estate, dated June, 1823, her husband, A. Gardenhire signed a receipt for Alsey. This was his wife's portion of her father's estate, valued at 1,200.00. At this time a married women could not inherit, so the money went to her husband. Since the source of this is a transcribed document and another source lists the inheritance as $12.00 the real amount is yet to be determined.
