I am searching for an Alston who married my ancestor, Peter Wadsworth. They lived in possibly Moore County, NC. The Alston Family had a large home on the curve of a river in an adjoining county. I`m wondering if Peter could have been there before his descendents showed up in Moore Co, NC, in the 1790 census. Any help will be appreciated. TIA Polly Clarke
