Census
1840 census of Fleming Co., Ky, lists on p. 229, line 2:
Fielding Alphrey, 2 m < 5, 1 m 5-9, 1 m 20-29, 1 f < 5, 1 f 15-20, 1 f 20-29

1850 census of Fleming Co., Ky, division 2, lists as family #24:
Fielding Alfrey, 35, farmer; Patsy, 35; Isaac, 17; Samuel, 13; Franklin, 11; Amanda Jane, 6; Anderson, 4; Lydia, 3; Allen, 7/12; Barbara, 83, born Virginia. All others born Ky.

1860 census of Rowan Co., Ky, lists on p. 36, as family #279:
Fielding Alfrey, 45; Patsy, 45; Anderson, 14; Allen, 10; July A., 8; Scott, 3; James McClelane, 82, blacksmith; Eady McClelane, 70, housewife. (I do not know the relationship of James and Eady. Also I don't know whether to interpret "McClelane" as being equivalent to "McClain" or "McClelland", both names which were common in the area, and both of which are in my ancestry.)
Anderson and Allen Alfrey were among the band of young men who shot Isaac Hall Jr. in 1868.

1870 Census of Rowan Co., Kentucky, Pearce prec., taken 20 June, lists on p. 10/127, family #74:
Alfrey, Fielding, 55, farmer; Minerva, 45, blind; Anderson, 25; Allen, 20; Martha, 9, Ellen Reed, 21, domestic servant. All born in Kentucky.
Ellen Reed later married Anderson Alfrey. Martha may be a granddaughter or niece, since there is no daughter Martha mentioned in the newspaper profile of Fielding's family. Or she could be a daughter of Minerva's from a previous marriage. (Her birth is not recorded in the 1861 birth records for Rowan Co., so she was probably born in 1860.)

Fielding Alphey, 65; Manerva, 60, blind; Amanda Roberts, 35, dau., widowed; John Roberts, 10, grandson; Ada Roberts, 7, granddaughter.

Probably a sister of Greenberry Johnson who married Malvina Alfrey.
