2. ↑ 428: Allen Alse & Irene Woodward/Woodard Hyatt; Allen Alse Hyatt was born Wake County NC 1794, son of Asa Hyatt and Mary Wood. His parents moved to land on Cribbs Creek, Anson County North Carolina when he was about eight years old. According to Irene's application for Alse's service in the war of 1812 they were married 7 April 1810/11, that her husband died 31 Oct 1831, and enlisted for 6 months 4 July 1813, all in Anson Co. Irene Woodward was born about 1795 in NC. She told at least two of her descendants that her father was Pleasant Woodward, but no legal prrof can be found. She named a son Pleasant Woodard Hyatt and that name is still being carried on in the family. Pleasant Woodward lived in Wake Co. NC on land in Holy Springs, very near Asa Hyatt's land on Buckhead Creek. Pleasant Woodward never did live in Anson Co. Irene died about 1871 at Gold Ridge, Randolph County, Alabama. I cooresponded with her great grandson, Jeff D Hyatt. He was the son of her grandson Pleasant Woodward Hyatt, son of her oldest son Elisha Hyatt. Jeff D. Lived with Irene from the time his father was killed in the Civil War and his mother re-married. She told him that his father was named for her father Plerasant Woodward. Jeff D. attended her funeral and knew she was buried in Goldridge, Alabama, bur a thorough search made in 1988, found no stone for her. Irene was widowed at an early age. Tradition says that Irene had eight children and was expecting the ninth child at that time. She later married Willis Wiggins. He moved her and her family to Newton County Ga. where he died before 1850. Desendants of most of her children have been contacted by me. Children: 1.
