I have certainly hit a brick wall with my ancestor John Alfont. All I know about him is that he married Mary Davey in Cecil County, MD in 1798. Their son William was born in 1799, later moved to Philadelphia and then Indiana. A woman who corresponded with a relative of mine some years ago said she thought the name Alfont was Walloon. That is absolutely all I have to go on. I know there are a few Alfonts who lived or are living in France, but I have no idea from which region the name originated or where I might begin looking for John Alfont. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Judy Winn j-winn2@tamu.edu
