Dear Clarence,
The Alter Family I am familiar with was from MD!

Came to Green Twp.,Hamilton Co., OH abt 1818.
Children:

Charles m. Miss Reddish
John
Charlotte married James Clark
(Gov of MS during Civil War, according to a source...have queries out on this now.)
Susan m. Smith Fawcett
Harriet m. David O. Brown. 1834 Ham. Co., OH.

Could this be the same family of Alters you are interested in. I am happy to share any information I have and am greatful for any new tidbits!
