Enslaver Notes:
In 1850, Albert H. Redford (31) was a Methodist minister enumerated in Henderson County, KY. Also enumerated were Mildred Redford (25), Joseph Redford (23), Benjamin Redford (10), and Albert Redford (8 mo). He enslaved six people. Only two were males: a 10 year old male and a 4-month old male. If David Simmons’ reported YOB of 1846 is correct, he would have been 4 years old in 1850.
