There is no proof as to Alfred's parentage. There was a Green Williford who married Lucy Alley
in Sumner Co. on 12 Sep. 1808. I believe they are the parents of Alfred because he named his
oldest son Green Willerford, but there is no documentation to support this. Green Williford was
born about 1785, and died 1811 in Sumner Co. TN.
