Notes

Alfred apparently lived in Taney County, Missouri in 1840, as there are papers filed for him to received Guardianship of his minor siblings. He is appointed guardian in 1840, of the children who are over 14 and under 21. In 1843, he requested the court for the removal of the guardianship and returned to Spencer County, Indiana.
Alfred E. struck out on his own, farming for the Phillips family, here he met and married Sarah Chamberlain in 1844. The original land that they lived on was known as Rattlesnakes Spring farm and built a log structure and a barn. On the death of Alfred the 40 acres, barn and log home was passed to William Jasper, his son.
On the death of William Jasper it passed to his son, Melvin. On the deathbed of Melvin, his brother, Manford begged him to sell him the property. On Manford's death, the son of Melvin, Byron, bought the property and the barn which was still standing.
While in the possesion of Byron, his daughter Bonnie's husband, Joe Garrity suggested that the barn ought to be donated to a park or made a historical site".
It was eventually done and is still standing today, at the Col. Willam Jones Hitorical Site in Gentryville, Indiana.
