Isaac Morley Allred was born 22 January, 1835, in Monroe County, Missouri. A son of Isaac Allred, born 27 January 1788 in Pendelton County, South Carolina, and Mary Calvert, born 19 March 1793, in Elbert County, Georgia.
Isaac’s parents had lived in North Carolina, then moved to Tennessee where it seems that most of their children were born. There were four daughters and nine sons. The daughters’ names were Elizabeth, who died in infancy; Nancy Waaklyn, who married Asa Earl; Sarah Lovissa who married Allen Taylor, and Mary Caroline married Joseph Egbert.
The sons’ names are William Moore Allred, John Calvert Allred, Joseph Anderson Allred, Paulinus Harvey Allred, James Riley Allred, Reddick Newton and Reddin Alexander Allred, who were twins; Isaac Morley Allred Jr. and Sidney Rigdon Allred. Each son married and reared a family. The family moved from Tennessee to Monroe County, Missouri, a distance of 500 miles.
`
The family were among the first early converts baptized into the Church of Latter Day Saints, some of them being baptized in 1832. They faithfully sacrificed from the first, being driven from their homes by mobs, who were hostile to the members.
Besides living in Monroe County, they lived in Clay and Caldwell counties. From Caldwell they were driven into Adams County, Illinois, in 1839, and from there into Daviess. In the spring of 1840, they journeyed to Nauvoo, the Beautiful. Here at the age of eight years Grandfather Isaac Morley Allred was baptized in the Mississippi River by a prominent member of the Church, a bodyguard of the Prophet Joseph Smith, viz, Zebedee Coltrin. This faithful man was at one time scourged by mobs for his loyalty to the Prophet.
The Allred families were personally acquainted with Joseph Smith and other Church leaders.. Great grandfather Isaac played a violin and was privileged to play it in the home of the Prophet. This violin came into the possession of his son Isaac Jr. and from him to his son, Alvin Ern Allred.
The rest is on the site.
