I have been working on the Descendancy of James Cole Alderson, my great great grandfather, and came across an old goldmine today.
There is a book available on familysearch.org called Alderson: Alderson families living in North America thru 1920 by Cross, James Allison, 1928-.
Turns out there is also a webpage called Alderson Cousins that is dedicated to the three main Alderson lines that first immigrated to the United States. One of which I am descended from: Richard Alderson Richmond, VA mid-1600s.
There is also an old newsletter available on the website that was published for multiple years. I have only skimmed through the first four issues but found information relating to my family.
Volume 1, Number 4 includes marriage records from the early 19th century in Maury, TN, including some of my relatives.
There is also a website dedicated exclusively to the descendants of Richard Alderson. My great grandmother is even included!
I'm excited to go through and verify as much as the information I can and make sure it is included in my family tree. Seems like there is always more work to do!
