  Notes	Allen Weeks Methvin notes that "Jacob Alford was probably born in Bute County, North Carolina. After some reorganization of counties, he lived in Franklin County and later moved to Cumberland County, where he was enumerated in 1790. Before 1795 he moved to Montgomery County, Georgia, where tax and land records show he lived until about 1806. By 1807 he was in Louisiana where his twin sons were born. Louisiana land records prove that he had settled on land in what was to become Washington Parish by December 1807. He was given headrights on 641.32 acres in what was to become Sec. 54 with the north boundary on what was to become the state line and the eastern boundary on the Bogue Chitto River. His father willed to him "the land and plantation whereon I now live lying on both sides Tarr River together with six cows and calves, six sows and pigs and one Breading (sic) mare to him and his heirs forever."
