AAFA NOTES: Henry H. Fallis/Follis died Dec. 5, 1942, in Fayette County, KY. Henry Fallis' death date was determined from the Kentucky Vital Statistics file found on the Internet at http://ukcc.uky.edu/~vitalrec/, however there he is listed as Henry H. FOLLIS and daughter Sara Fay is also listed as Sarah FOLLIS for both birth records of her daughters. Sara Fay (1895-May 12, 1976) married Leroy/Lee J. Alford (May, 1888-May 2, 1955), son of Joseph W. and Enola B. Foley Alford of Fayette Co. KY, about 1917. They had two daughters as listed above--Audrey Doris born July, 19, 1918, and Enola Lee born July 19, 1920. In 1920, they were living in Fayette County with Lee J.'s parents. Joseph W. was a descendant of Jacob Alford and Nancy Hunter, who came to what became Kentucky from Virginia about 1789.
