The Runaway

The Enterprise
6 October 1898 • Page 3


Algie Foy Aldridge was the youngest son of Caleb Hampton Aldridge, the eldest son of Henry Garner Aldridge and Priscilla Murray Aldridge. When "Hamp", as he was better known, posted this ad in the Stanly County, North Carolina newspaper "The Enterprise", Algie Foy would have been 17 years old. He was born on August 4, 1881 and must have inherited that "mean streak" that ran through the Murray line and into the Aldridge line through his grandmother Priscilla. While some Murray descendants did not seem to inherit this unlucky trait, several in any given generation seem to have suffered from it.

Algie's discontent seemed to show at an early age.

I wondered about his name, "Algie Foy", where did that moniker come from. I think Algie might have been short for "Algernon" and Foy just a trend, as I've seen many "Roy's" and even "Hoy", "Loy", "Doy",and "Coy" being popular names and middle names, for males of his generation. But he was not named for any apparent ancestor. His mother was Elizabeth "Bettie" Floyd  McSwain Aldridge, who had first married John Calloway McSwain, who perished in the Civil War. Hamp Aldridge was her brother-in-law and when her sister Sophia Floyd Aldridge passed away after bearing Hamp only one child, George Gilliam Aldridge, Bettie and Hamp married. Bettie brought a child of her own, Martha Ella McSwain, who would have a daughter by her step-father at the age of 18, and the family would survive this atrocity and remain intact.

That is how powerful a man Hamp Aldridge was in the community. He had a tendency to do whatever he pleased and get by with it. Hamp carried the Murray mean streak. It may have been this trait that drove his son away from him at the age of 17, and Hamp wanted to make sure the boy had no support in his quest for freedom.

Algie must have returned home the prodigal son because he turns up in the 1900 census in his father's house, although the census taker made meatloaf with it.

Hamp "Auldredz" is Caleb Hampton Aldridge, followed by Elizabeth, his wife. Nannie was actually "Fannie", who never married and passed away in 1915. "Alpha" is actually Algie Foy, "Saly E" is younger sister Sarah Elizabeth. "Inese" is Inez "Nezzie" McSwain, Hamp's daughter with his step-daughter Ella, and "Lenoiro" and "Lena" were her daughters Lenora and Lina.

Algie did not remain in his father's home long, however. He removed to Cabarrus County, and probably began his lifelong career in the textile industry working in the Cannon mills or similar ones located throughout Concord and nearby Kannapolis. There he met his wife and future victim, Cora Murphy.

And I did not mean "victim" in any sense but literally.

Algie and Cora, his Irish bride, show up in the City Directory of Columbia, South Carolina in 1909. He is a Mill Operator.

Algie Foy's Draft Papers describe him  as being of Medium height and build with blue eyes and gray hair. 

Algie's wife Cora was the daughter of James A. and Margaret A. Porter Murphy. Her father was born in Ireland and her mother in North Carolina. Her father, James Alexander Murphy was one of those grand old patriarchs of the 19th century who outlived several wives and was fathering children well into his sunset years. Born in 1816, he died in 1906 in Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina. In the 1910 census, Algie and Cora are shown living in the household of her widowed mother and a number of her siblings, including youngest brother, Emmett.

The Columbia City Directory traces their movements and Algie's career changes through the next decade. Algie's name is seen variously as "Alpha", "Alva", "Alfie", "Ollie", and "Algie". It may have been a derivative of the proper name "Alva", which was used randomly in and around Stanly County where he was born.

In 1909, they had been living at 901 9th Street, which was her parents address.
By 1911, the couple had moved to 209 Assembly Street and Algie was a Motorman for the Railway.
1912 - "Alger F." and Cora Aldridge had moved to 890 Lower Street and he was still employed at the same occupation.
1913 - They had moved to 222 Sumter Street and Algie was back to being a Mill Operator.

1915 -  Another move to 638 6th Street and Algie still a Mill Operator.
1916 - This time they were living at 1313 Berkeley Avenue, Mill Operator
1918 - Back to Lower Street, but this time at 819 Lower Street and Algie was now an employee of "Swift and Co."
1920 - They were still at 819 Lower Street, after at least 6 moves in a decade, but Algie had changed jobs again and this time was working for the Union News Company.

The 1920 census enumerates the couples two children: Leo and Vermelle. Leo Anthony Aldridge should have been in the 1910 census, being born on Feb. 6, 1908. He was either missed, or living in another household.

The next decade would also show the train of instability.

By 1922, the family had moved to 308 Bull Street and Algie was a News Agent.
On 1923, Algie had again became Mill fodder and moved his family to 709 Green Street, which is now only an Oak tree guarding the end of a dead end road.
709 Greene Street.

Five years later, Algie was now employed as a Jitney Driver and had moved to an apartment building on Park Street, a few blocks over and one block off of the former home on Assembly Street.

The above article is from the May 19, 1938 edition of The Greensboro Record.  The story was reprinted in newspapers far and wide, giving pretty much the same information. North Carolina, South Carolina and even New York newspapers reported the story of the textile worker who openly admitted the murder of his wife after finding a photo of another man in her possession. The readers were shocked. He didn't deny it. He even blamed it on this unnamed other man whom he assumed his wife was interested in. He had been thinking about the murder for three weeks. It was premeditated. The bad Murray blood was running hot in Algie Foy Aldridge.

Thursday, May 19 1938 edition of  the State Times Advocate of  Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

So what happened next?

Cora did not die immediately, but passed soon after arriving to the hospital.




Her death certificate explains her horrific cause of death with the words "Hacked", "Axe" and "Homocide". In the end she bled to death?

But what of Algie? Did he get his day in court? Did the papers print anything of that?

The amazing answer is "No".

On December 6, 1939,  a year and a half after he murdered his wife Cora on May 18, 1938, Algie Foy Aldridge died of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was treated at the South Carolina State Hospital and the doctor notated that he had been under his care since June 8, 1938. Algie had spent about 2 weeks in jail before being declared insane and mentally incapable of standing trial. He spent the remaining year and a half of his life in psychiatric care. Was the cerebral hemorrhage a sign of a brain disorder that may have attributed to his lack of judgement and irrational behavior in the murder of his wife? Possibly. This cause of death shows up in many of the descendants of the Aldridge and Murray families. Is it hereditary? Probably.

There were many stories that began and/or ended in the rolling hills of the Tyson community of Stanly County. Algie Foy Aldridge's story was just one of them.

Wordless Wednesday: The Estate Sale Notice of H. H. Davis

This notice of the sale of the property of my Great-Great Grandfather, Horton Hampton Davis, appeared in the Stanly Enterprise, April 18, 1907 edition. Haut or Hawk, as he was called, was born on October 6, 1846, in Stanly County, North Carolina to Henry Davis, eldest son of Job and Sarah Winfield Davis and Henry's second wife, Martha Palmer Davis. He married Francis Julina Aldridge September 10, 1889. This ad refers to her as "Julia F. Davis". I love how first and middle names were interchangeable in those days. It makes research..interesting, to say the least. Two years later, Julina is having to sell off the property, for money to live on, as her "Year's allowance" would have ran out. 

Here's a question for those who might know. At what point in history did counties stop with alloting widows a year's allowance as a right of inheritance? 

This shows that H. H. Davis's property did reach to the Rocky River. It adjoined to the most part, relatives. C. H. Aldridge stood for Caleb Hampton "Hamp" Aldridge, his brother-in-law. J T Crump was John T. Crump, the man who married widow Rebecca Hathcock Davis, the widow of Edward Winfield Davis, Hawk's uncle and guardian after the death of Henry in 1862. J. P. Aldridge was Pink Aldridge, another Great Great-Grandfather of mine down another line, and a first cousin of Julina and Hamp's. 

The "Carron" mentioned as in "Carron's Corner", that one is an unknown. 

The ad even explains that Hawk owned two tracts of land, the 25 acres on the Rocky River, which was probably his share of the property after Henry died, as his Uncle, E. W. Davis had sold most of Henry's property for debts and his own expenses and other claims. Neddy was a good man, but some of his business dealings were questionable, at best. 

The other tract of land was originally a 37 acres tract that H. H. bought from E. W. (or Hawk from Ned, as they were called). Then, at a later date, Hawk had sold 17 acres of that tract to his wife's brother Hamp. 

Hawk and Julina raised 11 children together. Not all of them were Hawk's. At least two of them were Whitley's. 

The Bible of Caleb Hampton Aldridge

Caleb Hampton Aldridge was the oldest brother of my Great-Great Grandmother, Frances Julina Aldridge Davis. He was the son of Henry Garner Aldridge and Priscilla Murray Aldridge, otherwise known as Garner and Prussia, while Caleb Hampton was better known as "Hamp". He was named for Garner's father Caleb Aldridge, Jr., the progenitor of the Aldridge family in Stanly County, North Carolina.

Hamp was born in 1843 and died in 1912. He was married twice, to sisters. First, to Sophia Floyd and second to her sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Floyd McSwain Aldridge, a widow. They were daughters of Josiah Floyd, Jr. and Sarah "Sally" Easley Floyd.

This is the first page of Hamp's family Bible. It is very old and hard to read. On the left it says "C H Aldridge Cottonville, N C .  I am not sure what the CO means or of the intials on the left. It could be information that was recorded and faded away. I have copies in dark and light. Some of the images are readable in one light and not the other.

The left side starts with   George Smith was born Dec 4 1888.
Below that  it says "Lee Smith was born Jun 14 1891
Ida Smith was born Mar (can't make out the number 1892
Willie Smith was born Nov 4 1894

These are legible on the dark print, which does not copy well, but not on the lighter on. These were children of Martha Ella McSwain Smith, daughter of Hamp's second wife Bettie, by her first husband John C McSwain.

The next four listed names are the daughters of Ella McSwain Smith's daughter Inez C. McSwain, and are also the grandchildren of Hamp Aldridge, as he was the father of Inez C. McSwain.

Lenora McSwain was born Sep the 25 1891
Varina McSwain was born feb the 27 1892
Renie Hooks was  July 9 1894
Lina Sep 6 1896

The second page must have been older than the first, as it lists the children of Hamp Aldridge and the first page listed grandchildren.

The left side says:
C H Aldridge borned  feb the 18 1845
E P Aldridge borned June 19 1840   (this is referring to Elizabeth "Bettie" Aldridge, his second wife).
M E McSwain bornd Aug 18 1854  (this is Martha Ella McSwain, daughter of Bettie, mentioned above).
G G Aldridge bornd oct 27 1866 (this is George Gillaim Aldridge, Hamp's son by 1st wife Sophia)
W C Aldridge bornd Oct 25 1870 (this is William Crowell Aldridge oldest son of Hamp and Bettie together)
F J Aldridge bornd Feb the 19 1872 (this is daughter Francis J Aldridge, perhaps named for his sister)
H F Aldridge bornd Jan the 2 1874 (this is Henry F Aldridge who moved to Davidson County, NC)
I C McSwain bornd Mar 10 1878 (this is Inez C McSwain, daughter of M. E above and Hamp)

The right side continues naming the children of Hampton Aldridge:

R I Aldridge bornd Jan the 15 1876 or 1879 (this is Rebecca Isabell Aldridge and is a little hard to read. At first glance, the initials look like a B J and the year like 1876. But he is listing his children in order and the next one in line is Rebecca Isabell and other records have her birthdate as January 15 1876)
W S Aldridge bornd May the 25 1878 (this is daughter Wincy S. Aldridge who married Cornelius Harward)
A F Aldridge bornd  Aug the 4th 1881 (this is son Algie Foy Aldridge)
M H Aldridge bornd dec the 23 1886 (this is an unknown child who must have died before the 1900 census)
S L Aldridge borned  feb the 21 1888(this is daughter Sarah Elizabeth who married an Eury)

Across the bottom of the page he scrawled "Stanly County NC".

The Caleb Hampton Aldridge Bible gives an accurate listing of all of his children and some of his grandchildren. Without it we would not know there was an M. H. Aldridge.

Another Mystery Solved

Verina Isabelle McSwain Whitley

Page 194  1880 Tyson Census

P 195  1880 Tyson census

Page 196  1880 Tyson census

Inez C McSwain was a young woman who lived a brief life in the Tyson community of Stanly County around the turn of the Century. She was born in March of 1874 to a 14 year old mother, whose father had died during the Civil War and whose mother had remarried her uncle by marriage, Caleb Hampton Aldridge. Her step-father, Caleb Hampton Aldridge, was also the father of her daughter, the above mentioned Inez C McSwain.

Inezzie, as she was called, also became an unwed teenaged mother, having her two oldest daughters, Jennie Lenora McSwain and Verina Isabelle McSwain, prior to her marriage to William Thomas Hooks, with whom she would have 2 more daughters, Martha Irene and Lena. 

Inez was my cousin, her father being the brother of my great, great grandmother, Julina Aldridge Davis. Her oldest daughter Nora, would also marry a grandson of Job Davis, John Teeter Davis. Inez's husband, Tom Hooks, is also my cousin, being the half-brother of one of my paternal  great-grandmother's Lottie Hill. 

Until yesterday, the father, or fathers of Inezzie's oldest two daughters, born in 1891 and 1892, were unknown. Neither the girls marriage licenses or death certificates listed a father. 

Yesterday, I was perusing the microfilm on file at the public library heritage room. 

Thankful Thursday is an ongoing theme with Geneabloggers. In this instance, I am thankful to Mr. & Mrs. Gaskin for keeping these records on microfilm. On C. R .089.102.2, I found the Stanly County Bastardy Bonds from 1892-1923.

And in that collection the below document. 

State & Inez McSwain vs. Thomas D Green

"We the undersigned Thomas D Green and J. M Harward acknowledge ourselves indebited to the state of North Carolina in the sum of One Hundred dollars to be paid, however, on condition that the above named Thomas D Green shall in all respects perform an order made in the above entitled bastardy proceeding at this term of  the superior court of said county for the maintenance of the said child of Inez McSwain and shall indemnify the county from  all charges for the maintenance of said child, the order above referred to requiring the defendant to pay the said Inez McSwain twenty dollars in cash, fifteen dollars on the first day of June, 1892 and the remaining $15 on the 11th day of November 1892, and also a fine of Ten dollars and costs. This April 15, 1892. 

It is signed T. D. Green and Myrick Harward. There is also a receipt for $50 signed by Inez McSwain. 

This may have been a little confusing if not for the message from a descendant of Isabelle Aldridge, a half-sister/aunt of Inezzie who was one year her junior and who married the brother of Inez's future husband. 

Why were two men in court and signing the bond? They were not related. 

Myrick or Mike Harward had been in court the previous year for Inez's daughter, Nora, born in 1891. This was 1892, and the child was her second daughter, Verina. 

The story passed down from Isabelle's family was that a wealthy farmer, an older, married man, had been "sniffing around young Izzie", Hamp Aldridges legitimate daughter with his second wife Bettie, Nezzie's grandmother. Hamp was very angry about this, and threaten severe bodily harm or death to this Mr. Harward if he laid his hands on Izzie as he had already "ruined" or "rurnt" Nezzie. There was not a first name given for this Mr. Harward. 

The documents show that the Harward mentioned was J. M. Harward. On examing who the citizens of the community were, he turns up to be Joshua Myrick Harward, a member of my Hudson crew, son of Beverly Harward and Martha "Patsy" Hudson. He was also married, to Betty Carpenter. Mike Harward, as he was called was born May 15, 1848 and died October 4, 1939. He is buried at Silver Springs Baptist Church near Aquadale. 

Mike and Bettie Harward

The Hallowed document that solves the mystery

The Thomas D Greene mentioned in the document was Thomas Deberry Greene, a son of William Henry Deberry Greene and Caroline "Nancy" Treadaway. W. H. D Greene is buried at Rehobeth cemetery near Cottonville. Thomas D Greene is shown as 16 in the 1880 census of Tyson while Nezzie is 6. His estate records are listed in 1895, meaning he died young, just a few years after his daughter Verina was born.

Nancy Caroline Treadaway Greene, mother of Thomas Deberry Greene and  Verina's grandmother she never  knew about. 

Receipt from Inezzie that Tom paid her child support.

The research on this is long from over. Tom's estate records are on order. His father, WHD Greene, died the same year as Tom, so I am wondering if they died from an accident at the same time, or they both contracted a deadly disease, or if it was just coincidence. But as far as the who fathered Inezzies' daughters, the mystery is solved.

What I know about Nezzie

Inez C Mcswain was the niece of my great-great grandmother, Julina Aldridge Davis, but that is not the only time she shows up in my family tree. She also marries William Thomas Hooks, half brother of great-grandmother Lottie Hill. Her Aunt Julina was not the only member of her family to marry a Davis, either. Nezzie, as she was called, had a daughter, Jenny Lenora McSwain, who married John Teeter Davis, a first cousin to Hawk Davis, and anotber of Job's children.. This is what I know about Nezzie:


She was born in March of 1874 to Martha Ella McSwain, who, herself was only born in 1860. Martha Ella, known as Ella, was the daughter of John Calloway McSwain and Elizabeth "Betty" Floyd. John C. McSwain was a Civil War casualty and died in 1862, leaving Betty with the one child. Ella's aunt. C. Sophia Floyd, married a man named Caleb Hampton Aldridge, a great, great, great uncle of mine in 1866. Sophia died in 1868. On October 10 of 1869, Hamp Aldridge married his wife's widowed sister, Betty Floyd McSwain.

And this is where it gets ugly.


Both Betty and Hamp came into the marriage with a child apiece. Bettie had Ella and Hamp had a son, George Gilliam Aldridge. After the marriage, they had two more children together by 1874. But in 1874, Bettie was pregnant with son Henry F. Aldridge, and young Martha was also pregnant...with Inez, known as Nezzie.

This marriage license between W. T. Hooks and Inezzie McSwain lists her parents as Hampton Aldridge and Ella Smith. Martha Ella McSwain had
married J. Frank Smith by this time.

Nezzie would become the mother of 4 daughters.

Her first daughter, Jenny Lenora McSwain was born on September 25, 1891, when she was 17 years old. Her second daughter, Verina Isabelle McSwain, was born February 27, 1892. As these two girls were born so close together, it is logical that they probably had the same father, whose identity is yet unknown, and could forever be.

The next year, at the age of 18, Nezzie married another unfortunate child, William Thomas Hooks, son of my great, great grandfather, William Mathew "Matt" Hill, and Emmaline Hooks, who was Matt's sister-in-law, the younger sister of his wife Sarah Jane Hooks Hill.

The wedding was performed by a minister named Rev. L. A. Whitlock and took place on October 15, 1893, 'at the home of her father', meaning the Homeplace of Caleb Hampton Aldridge in Tyson community, near Aquadale, Stanly County. A Marshall Howell applied for the license, and usually, this was someone close to one member of the wedding party or the other.  Witnesses were Nezzie's half-brothers, G.G. (George Gilliam) Aldridge and W. C. (William Crowell) Aldridge and Willie H. Lee, a neighbor.

The first child born after the wedding was Martha Irene Hooks, just 9 months later on July 9 1894. She was obviously named for her grandmother, Martha Ella McSwain, never married, and died as a young woman.

The youngest daughter, Lina, was born two years later, on September 6, 1896.

And then, something went wrong.

The very next year, in 1897, Tom Hooks mother, Emmaline Hooks, who had had 5 illegitimate children, married a widowere, Henry Martin Munson, from Cabarrus County and moved there. Tom must have been taken with his daughter, Della Jane. Tom and Della Jane supposedly were married, but I am still searching for a license. What I do know is that their first child, a son named Adam Walter Hooks, was born on December 14, 1899.

The 1900 census shows Tom and Della living with Adam in the Rocky River community of Cabarrus County, living 2 houses away from his mother Emmaline and her new family.

Nezzie is shown in the 1900 census living back in the home of her father, Hamp Aldridge, with 2 of her daughters, 8 year old Lenora and 3 year old Lena. In fact, Nezzie only shows up in 2 censuses, as a 6 year old child, in the home of Hamp Aldridge, and then again in 1900.

It is not yet known where Inez C. McSwain Hooks was buried, or when she died. She passed away before her daughters married. Verina's marriage license to Eb Whitley in 1907, and Lenora's to John Teeter Davis in 1912, both list her as deceased.

If anyone knows the identity of the father of Inezzie's oldest two daughters, or where she was laid to rest, please contact me. Desecendants of Inezzie would like to know.
