Photos		White → Agnes Allred
		Allred → Agnes I have seen a picture of Aunt Agnes when she was young. She was very beautiful in that picture and she is was wearing a dark green dress with long sleeves. I think Mother told me one time that the dress was made from drapery material. – Bernice Ellis, Jun 2008

Notes	Agnes was my favorite of the three (Bea, Sue & Agnes) that lived in the 'Old House' when I was growing up, before it fell down. I can vaguely remember discussions about whether I should visit because of her 'illnes'. But, if you ask me, she was the sanest of the whole bunch, and a lot nicer as well. Sue was bitter, Bea acted and looked like an old squaw. Agnes was pretty, and young (by comparison) and she laughed. I remember once I found Agnes in one of the unused rooms, smoking a Winston. So that's were she went and what she did when she "wasn't feeling well". Phyl tells me Sue & Bea smoked as well, which amazes me because they never smoked in front of me and I was there a lot, for hours at a time. Aunt Agnes spent seven years in Bryce-Partlow, the mental asylum in Alabama, in electroshock therapy. She wrote me a letter about it once, lost now in one of my many moves, where she said what she suffered was worse than the Jews in Nazi Germany. You see, Aunt Agnes got a job, as a nurse, and for this lewd and scandalous behavior her husband divorced her and got custody of their son. I was told she was sitting at the dinner table and went into a cataleptic depression, which lasted seven years I guess. I remember as a child at one of my many visits with Sue, Bea & Agnes in the 'old house', Aunt Sue had said they were women's libbers and when I asked what did they do, Bea said, well we got jobs. When they saw I wasn't very impressed they tried to explain to me that the only job a women could get at that time was as a nurse or a school teacher and Bea got a job as a school teacher since she went to school – Paw Allred sent one girl to school at a time and since Sue didn't want to go, Bea got to go. And Agnes got a job as a nurse. Agnes didn't say anything, but Sue finally said, "Well, times have changed and there's no point bringing up the evil that is gone. Not even worth remembering." And they all, Agnes and Bea particularly, visibly relaxed and kind of smiled in a secret way. They had done quite a bit after all, it seems. We grew up knowing about Agnes, and what she went through and why. And we knew her and loved her in her life time. She and her story were always with us – a silent presence always there for reference against our own actions and our lives. J. Craig Canada – 2006

Hello,

It sounds like your Canada ancestors are more illustrious than the Allred side.

Your ggrandfather, Charlie Patterson Allred, did appear to have either inherited or somehow accumulated some wealth, because he purchased 300+ acres at the old home place. So far I haven't been able to find where that wealth came from. I wish I had ask a lot more questions when daddy was here.

Your gggrandfather was Lewis Patterson Allred, and your ggggrandfather was John James Allred. After John James, I haven't been able to make the connection for the next generation, have you? According to the Allred genealogy site, the Allred's were influential in earlier times, especially centuries ago in England.

I have always been told there was a Native American grandmother,( in both the Hogue and the Allred families) but I don't know as of yet, which generation. That would have been scandalous then, as it was illegal for a Native American of a registered tribe to live in Georgia for many years after the "Trail of Tears". I think that those who were Indian, pretended to be white. There has got to be a good story here, wish I could find it!

I haven't found where the Patterson connection came in, I do remember seeing on some web site, several generations back, one of the Allred daughters married a Patterson.

This is so interesting, I never thought about the number of mules. I remember Paw Allred's barn and seeing the mules hitched up when the men were plowing. I can't remember how many, at the time there seemed like a lot. I loved the old home place, but the adults kept a tight rein on us, and I never got to explore the barns and stables. It was a large place back then, lots of barns and sheds, and (before my time) it even had its own commissary, where I assume he sold supplies to the people who worked for him.

The Holders, granny's family, did seem to be prominent in Rome, Ga. Her father was John Thomas Holder, his father Jesse S Holder. ( I hope I am getting these names right, don't have my book here at the moment)

I saw the same internet site you mentioned, where Sue, Bea & Agnes are listed. I also wondered why the others(Eula, Alpha, Marshall, Shelton and Daddy) were not shown.

I haven't worked much on the Allred line in the last few months, but I will get back to it soon. I am fascinated with the family history, so I want to find all there is to find. Do you spend much time researching the family?

I am surprised you like to garden, so do I. I get spring fever and have to dig in the dirt!

About the genealogy program, I probably wouldn't try to merge files, as the program I have has enough problems without my help. But we can share information, I can scan you copies of things, just let me know if you need what I have recorded,(the family and children with dates back to John James Allred). I can't take credit for all the work, a cousin sent a lot of it to me.

Take care and keep in touch. Phyl
