1828 - 1890  (61 years)

• Name	Jesse Powell Alford  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  Birth	20 Dec 1828	Louisiana   [3, 4, 5]
  Gender	Male
  Death	2 Aug 1890  [4]
  Notes	He married second Cornelia Horton Crawford, on 28 Aug 1886 in Coleman County, Texas. Kathy Casagranda shows that Tabitha EASON married Jesse Powell ALFORD on 12 Mar 1891 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. If his 1890 date of death is accurate, it must have been another Jesse Powell Alford she married, possibly his namesake son. Further investigation should be done, however, based on the significant gap in ages between Tabitha and either Jesse Powell Alford Sr or Jesse Powell Alford Jr. (Research): Census Listings: 1850 Census Texas, Kaufman County Enumerated 9 Oct 1850 227-228 George W.
