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.

Notes:

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."

Jesse married Emma Elizabeth Rice on 18 Dec 1890 in Sabine County, Texas. Emma (daughter of Matthias J. Rice and Millbury Cook) was born on 9 Apr 1866 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 28 Oct 1907 in Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.
