Gary Fletcher, Per your request for help finding Alfred E Fletcher in the 1860 census, I checked the Buncombe County and Henderson County census for 1860 for Alfred E Fletcher. I did not find an Alfred listed; however, I did find the following: 1860 US census of Henderson County NC, Davidsons River TWP, family #1257: Fletcher, J W 32 NC Matilda 30 NC Mathias 13 NC William 11 NC Taylor 09 NC Thomas 07 NC Colwell 05 NC Andrew 03 NC --- I suspect that Andrew may be Alfred There were no other Fletcher children in the census records who appeared even remotely close to the correct person!
