Father of Alfred Messick?

Zerilda

Alfred Messick was born 8 June 1818 in Irondale Jefferson, Ohio. Per family lore he was raised by his Uncle Martin Adams. In Martin's will he left money to his friend Alfred Messick. I believe I have located his mother, but no solid proof. I believe his was born out of wedlock.
