1812 - Aft 1860 (48 years)
Generation: 1
1. | John C. Partin was born on 30 Jan 1812 in Georgia; died after 1860 in Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Information about the John and Harriet Partin Family was supplied by Bettye Bragg Wagstaff of Bronson, Texas. Her research included the following sources:
1850 Sabine Co. TX census "1850 Sabine County, Texas Census with Corrections and Added Family Information" by Schluter and Toole 1860 Sabine Co. TX census Morris Bible Record (John C. Partin's second wife was Drucilla Cordelia Watkins White. Her sister married Jacob Dickon Morris. Their daughter, Cordelia Morris Dickerson lived next door to Bettye Bragg's family. "Aunt Cord" gave Bettye the family Bible records in the 1950's. It appears that when John C. Partin married Drucillia Cordelia, they entered his birthdate, his marriage date to Drucilla and the birthdate of his children by Harriet McGrew.)
A. P. Steele, Frances's first husband, was connected to the Morris family. They were both from the same area of Kentucky. They are living next door to each other in 1860 in Sabine Co, TX.
In letters to Ester McGrew Hardin, Blanche Toole and others recount a legand of two McGrew brothers returning from the California gold mines, and who stayed briefly with the Partin or Alford family (Harriet McGrew's son in law) on their way back to Mississippi. One was dying, but would let no one attend to him or touch his saddlebag, said to be full of gold. That night he was said to have slipped out to bury the gold. The next morning he was too delirious to tell anyone where he had hidden it, and to this day it has never been found.
John married Harriet McGrew on 17 Jan 1831 in Marion County, Mississippi. Harriet (daughter of Alexander McGrew and Elizabeth Blackburn) was born about 1813 in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana; died after 1851 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

13. | Ruth L. Alford (2.Frances2, 1.John1) was born about 1863 in Louisiana; and died. Notes:
Shown as Ruth Alford on the 1870 Census, but as Ruth Steele in 1880. It is possible she was instead born in Francis Partin during her first marriage to Alvin Steele.

Could he also have married Tabitha Eason? Kathy Casagranda shows that Tabitha EASON married a Jesse Powell ALFORD on 12 Mar 1891 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. However, based on his date of marriage to Emma Rice, and the subsequent children born to them, it appears unlikely.
His tombstone is inscribed "In Memory of-Only son of Rev. N. B. & Frances Alford-We have drained the bitter cup of grief and prayed to give thee up without one murmured word of pain. Father they will be done. Take back our darling one. We try to pray, in vain."

93. | Joe Donald Alford (69.Jesse5, 33.Jesse4, 15.Jesse3, 2.Frances2, 1.John1) was born on 26 Mar 1949 in Jefferson County, Texas; died on 26 May 2016 in Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas; was buried in Saint Marys Cemetery, Hearne, Robertston County, Texas. Notes:
Joe Alford, a small-town lawyer known for valuing people more than money, died May 26, 2016 at the age of 67.
His wife of 46 years, Charlotte, was with him at his death and as he went through months of cancer treatments.
In an age of lawyers advertising on billboards and television, Joe didn't even have a sign on his Orange office. People found him, often by referral. His law office for nearly 35 years was a small old building across the street from the Orange County Courthouse. In recent years he added a front porch with rocking chairs. Dozens of people tell stories of how he never sent them a bill for his work.
He considered working as legal counsel for public entities a donation to the community. At times he turned down offers of pay raises from the entities. He was the original attorney for the Orange County Appraisal District, dating back to 1979 and continued in the position until his death.
He was the City Attorney for the City of West Orange and previously was the Municipal Judge. In addition, he represented the Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD and the Mauriceville Municipal Utility District. He had once been counsel for the West Orange-Cove CISD and advised the Deweyville ISD for more than 20 years.
His legal work including representing criminals on trial for capital murder and elderly widows probating wills. He handled divorces, name changes and adoptions. Every client found a shoulder to cry on, sympathy and a lifelong friend.
Even though he represented the accused in the courtroom, law enforcement officers respected him because he showed them respect.
Joe was born in Port Arthur to J.D. and Joann Alford.
He grew up in West Orange and was a 1967 graduate of the old West Orange High School. He and Charlotte Duhon began dating when they were in high school and married in 1970.
He worked his way through Lamar University as an orderly at Orange Memorial Hospital in the days before hazmat medicine. If a patient came in bleeding, the orderlies went home with blood on their clothes. It didn't matter to him. Helping came first.
The experience made him want to go into hospital administration. But his grandfather in Hemphill, Judge Beauchamp, talked him into studying law. That influence affected generations of people in Orange County who turned to him for advice and help.
Joe is a graduate of the University of Houston's Bates School of Law. He and Charlotte worked to pay for his studies.
After graduating and passing the bar, he returned to Orange and became a prosecutor in the office of then-District Attorney Sharon Bearden. He later left for a private practice with Wayne Peveto, who at the time was also the state representative for the county. Joe later went into his own practice.
He loved books, music and baseball cards. State District Judge Dennis Powell said Joe always pursued knowledge and the meaning of life. Besides keeping up with the latest legal case law, Joe could polish off two or more books a week. He was always ahead of the musical trends and recommended artists before they became famous. His expertise on baseball cards, along with his collection, was legendary.
He also loved the game of baseball. He coached youth baseball for his son and in recent years coached his great-nephews and nieces in the sport. As a surprise to many, he even ventured into coaching youth soccer. One of his last joys in life was seeing his three-year-old grandson Ronan slug a baseball off a tee.
Joe and Charlotte followed the West Orange-Stark Mustangs and have been football season ticket-holders in the same seats for 40 years.
Funeral services will be at 1pm Monday, May 29, 2016 at First United Methodist Church, 502 North Sixth Street in downtown Orange.
A visitation will begin at 11am before the funeral.
Entombment will follow at Saint Mary's Cemetery on Meeks Drive.
Pallbearers will be Wade Smith, Ed Smith, Rex Peveto, Eric Peveto, Barry Jones and Brent Alford.
Honorary pallbearers are Sharon Bearden and retired State District Judge Pat Clark.
His survivors, besides his wife, are his mother, Joann Alford of West Orange, son Joseph of Los Angeles and daughter and son-in-law, Laura and Sam Watters of Orange, along with grandson Ronan Watters. Also surviving are sisters, Judy Sher of St. Louis and Kay Jones and husband Barry of Tyler, Texas, plus brother, Brent Alford and wife Michelle of Fort Worth. Also, sister-in-law Juanita Smith of Orange and numerous nieces and nephews, Jami Nemec, Kara and Scott James, Derek and Sarah Jones, Lindsey and Jonathan Bolton, Josh Alford, Holden Alford, Wade and Julie Smith and Ed and Kathy Smith.
