  	Alfred Herron and Elizabeth Maloy appear in the 1840 census as a married couple with an older woman in the household. The older woman is likely Jane Maloy who is listed in their household in the 1850 census. Since there are no children in the 1840 census, they were likely married shortly before this census was taken.

• Notes

  Alfred appears to be the son of Joshua Herron. Alfred is listed immediately next door to Joshua in both the 1840 and 1850 Census of Pickens Co., SC. Alfred also named his first son Joshua. So far, I have been unable to locate Alfred in the 1860 census. On March 14, 1861, Alfred enlisted for service in the Civil War as a private in Company E of 1st SC Regiment, known as Orr's rifles. He died of disease in Belle View Hospital, Richmond, VA. At the time of his death, Orr's rifles had not yet been engaged in any fighting.
