    These other sources instead have him listed as a son of Baldy Alford and grandson of Isham Alford and Anne Ferrell. This website is maintained by Janice Smith, a descendant. She states that Isham and Sylvia Anne Alford moved their family from St. Clair County, Alabama to Texas in 1854. They went to Texas crossing the Sabine River near Milam. They traveled across the Old San Antonio Road to what was then Washington County and settle at a little village called Evergreem about 12 miles from Giddings, now in Lee County, Sometime before 1860, Isham and Sylvia sold their land and moved their family to Sabine County in the piney woods of East Texas.
