History of Posey County Indiana, The Goodspeed Publishing Co., Chicago, 1886. Reprinted by Unigraphic, Inc., Evansville, IN 1967 [Boone County] ALFRED RECORDS is a son of Alex and Elizabeth (Aldridge) Records, who were natives of Delaware. The father carried on farming on an extensive scale, and also operated a water-mill and a distillery after moving to Kentucky. His death occurred about 1822, and the mother's in 1855. Alfred was born in Boone County, Ky., in 1820. His schooling, all told, never amounted to more than three months, but he has since acquired a very good education. When fourteen years old he began working among the farmers in his neighborhood. About eight years later, he moved to Greene County, Ind., and purchased 160 acres of timber land which he afterward sold, and purchased 280 acres. This he also sold, and then in 1857 moved to this county (Posey), and purchased a farm of 160 acres, which he has since increased to 380 acres, 200 of which he has given to his children. In 1841 he married Rebecca Gibson (died in 1853). To them were born these children: Minerva E., Francis M., Irvin T., Missouri A. and Thomas. In 1854 Mr. Records married Eliza Grange, daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Sherbrook) Grange. He is a Democrat politically, but cast his first vote for Harrison.
