Father: Henry (Abshire)Aleshire
Mother: Mary Elizabeth Haugh(Hahn)

Maiden name also Spelled Aleshire

Suggested edit: Sophia's father was Henry Aleshire (with several variations of the last name), not Henry P. He is often confused with his brother, Rev. Peter Aleshire who married Margaret Coontz Koontz on 23 Aug 1789 in Page County, Virginia, and then moved to Meigs County, Ohio. Because of his ministry, Peter moved around in Ohio and Indiana, but he died in August 1846, in Bloomfield Township, Jackson County, Ohio.

Henry stayed in Virginia and married, Mary Elizabeth Hahn. They had a son named Henry Peter Aleshire, which is probably the source of the confusion. Henry died on 2 Jun 1845 in Page, Virginia.
