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." | STR06 |

| 327 | I2117 | Alford | Jesse Powell | 20 Dec 1828 | 2 Aug 1890 | 0 | 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. |

| 329 | I2115 | Alford | Jesse Powell | 18 Dec 1870 | 13 Oct 1898 | 0 | 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." |

| 330 | I33600 | Alford | Joe Donald | 26 Mar 1949 | 26 May 2016 | 0 | 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. |

| 335 | I19440 | Alford | Julius | Between 1797 and 1799 | Abt 1880 | 0 | Julius Alford is the son of Jacob Alford and Frankie Seaborn. Jacob Alford is believed to be related to the Alford family of early North Carolina and Virginia. Going back in time, the parent of Jacob Alford is believed to be Lodwick Alford, John Alford, Sr, and then to William Alford born ca 1674. There is a Jacob Alford that received a land grant in Georgia for 450 acres in 1802. Sometime circa 1806 they moved to Louisiana and settled near Washington Parish in 1807.

| 355 | I2062 | Alford | Needham Judge | 12 Jul 1789 | 19 Sep 1869 | 0 | According to "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records" by Edna McDaniel White and Blanche Finley Toole, Needham Judge Alford was a pioneer Methodist Preacher and was preaching the gospel in East Texas as early as 1832, while living in Sabine Parish, Louisiana and was a member of Jackson Lodge at Milam, Texas. He was the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Alford. Kathy Casagranda's 1850 Sabine Parish census is more specific, citing his parents as Jacob Alford and Elizabeth Bryant Alford of Warren County, North Carolina, and notes the family can be traced back to the Alford's of New Kent County, Virginia. He was listed as being elected to the board of the first parish administrators of public schools in 1843. In the spring of 1832, Needham Alford and Sumner Bacon, a Cumberland Presbyterian, held a 2-day meeting in Sabine County, near the town of Milam; meetings had been forbidden by the Mexican officials and there was other opposition. Just before the meeting began, a person appeared on the grounds declaring he would horsewhip the first preacher who entered the stand. Alford arrived and someone repeated the threat to him. "Well," he said, "I am as able to take a whipping as any man on this ground." He was muscular, strongly built and a stranger to fear who had gone by the name of "Bulldog Preacher" in Louisiana. The antagonist looked for a moment at the brawny arm of Alford stretched out at full length over the buckboard and quietly retired. He was commended to the Texans by letter from the Presiding Elder of the San Augustine District Texas Conference as he travelled through Texas (Rep. TX, Sabine July 5, 1848).

He died of Typhoid fever, after an illness of thirty-one days. His body was brought to Georgia and interred in the family burying-ground, near the residence of his family, in Banks County. The burial service was performed by the Masonic Fraternity of Phi Delta, with the usual honors. Thus cut down in the prime of life, the Confederate Government has lost a firm and valiant officer ? the State of Georgia, one of the foremost to assert her rights in her Legislative Halls. As one of the first to volunteer in her army, his patriotism shines forth in living light. Banks County has been deprived of one of her best and most useful citizens ? the Masonic Lodge of a worthy and consistent member ? the community of a liberal and public-spirited member ? his family of a kind and affectionate husband, a tender and indulgent father. Well may they mourn their irreparable loss. Doubtless the change is his gain. His firm integrity and spotless character are evidences to us that he has passed to the abode of happy spirits, where wars and disease trouble not. C. S. W.

| 388 | I8218 | Allan | Thomps | Aft 1807 | Yes, date unknown | 0 | Sometimes also shown as Thomas K. Sharon Holland provided to me some interesting information recently re: Mary Strickland's two marriages: "5. Mary was born October 17, 1773, and married John Gilbert, brother to William, and settled in Franklin County Georgia where he died. She then married James Allen and moved to Habersham County Georgia where she died leaving 5 Gilbert children named: Bill, Jim, Betsy, John, and Nancy, and three Allen children namely Thomps, Bob, and Henry." If Mary was married around age 18 had 8 children, averaging one every two years, her children would have been born between 1791 and 1807 in Georgia. I noticed she had one son by James Allen named THOMPS ALLEN. Could this be the same THOMPSON ALLEN, born ca 22 December 1802 in Elbert County, Georgia, that married Elizabeth WOOLDRIDGE OF Abbeville District, South Carolina and later settled in Sabine County, Texas? Elbert County is near both Franklin County and Habersham County, Georgia. I do not have any information about Thompson Allen's parentage, but it appears that both his birth year and birth location could very easily make him a son of Mary Strickland by her second husband James Allen. Additionally, many of the early settlers of Sabine County, Texas were descendants of the Strickland family. In fact, Lily Ethur Carter estimated at least 60% of the early settlers were Stricklands. |

| 389 | I8227 | Allan | Thompson | 20 Sep 1820 | 17 Sep 1875 | 0 | In Memoriam Thompson Allan With a sad heart, a long time friend of this true and noble man, pens a few words as a tribute to him whose name appears above. He was an honest man, a gentleman, and a patriot of the highest type, adorning every station he filled, and was honored most by those who knew him best. He was born in Habersham County, Georgia Board in that part which is now Banks county, on the 20th day of September, 1820, and died on Friday last, the 17th instant, at his home, on the same place where he was born, lacking but two days of being 55 years old. He received a good high school education, studied law and was admitted to the bar in early manhood, and practiced his profession for several years. He afterwards went to Washington City, where he received the appointment of Chief of the Pre-emption Division of the General Land Office, early in 1856, and remained till the State of Georgia seceded from the Union, when he resigned and came home to cast in his lot with his own people. While at his post, by his fidelity, ability and integrity, he made his desk one of the most important branches of the Land office. It had been neglected and was an annoyance to the chiefs of the Bureau and the Interior Department, because for some time, no one who had been assigned to the duties, had been competent to the discharge thereof. It was but a few months before Thompson Allan brought order out of the chaos and caused the division to reflect much credit upon the Land Office and the Department. The writer hereof happens to know that the Secretary of the Interior was greatly delighted that he had found one so competent and effecient in a place of so much importance. After the Confederate government was organized, he was called to occupy a very important post in the treasury department; and when the bureau of taxation was established by the Confederate congress, he was selected as the most competent man that could be found to fill that position. He was appointed commissioner of taxation, and held the office till the close of the war. He discharged his duty with fidelity and with a high sense of justice-giving satisfaction to the government and the country. He was in a position where a man, by sacrificing honor, could have made thousands upon thousands, but he came home at the close of the war without a dollar, or a cent of assets saved while it was going on. When Hon. Madison Bell was elected by the republican legislature comptroller general, he tendered Mr. Allan the situation of his assistant in the office, which he accepted, discharging his duty with fidelity till the end of the term for which Maj. Bell was elected. He was a firm uncompromising democrat from his youth, to the day of his death. The situation was tendered him by Maj. Bell, because they had been old personal friends from boyhood, and Maj. B. knew his ability and worth as a business man. He took the situation with a distinct understanding that his political principles were not to be in the least compromised. His disease was an ulceration of the stomach, from which he has suffered much for several years. His few last days were comparatively free from pain, and he died, surrounded by his wife and children, in perfect peace. His funeral took place on Sunday last. He was buried with Masonic honors by the fraternity, attended by one of the largest concourses of people that ever assembled in Banks County, Georgia Board?u? ?/u?He was a true friend and a true man, of great ability, superior judgement and good sense; but he was modest and unobtrusive, and did not receive that distinction in life which he richly deserved. Peace to his ashes and honor to his memory. A Friend Source: http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.allan/162.2.2.1/mb.ashx Obituary postd by l. ramirez on 19 July 2005 |

| 395 | I30549 | Allen | Arva | Abt 1765 | Abt 1842 | 0 | Tuck Wilson, a descendant of Arva's eldest son, John Showell Allen, provided the following biography of Arva: "Arva Allen was born around 1765 in Mecklenburg County Virginia. The date is established by the following:Arva paid taxes on the Purchase of a horse in 1785 when " he is not yet 21 years of age" and he paid his first "head tax" levied on persons 21 years or older the next year , 1786. He married Polly Clarke in 1786, Bolling Clarke, surety. Arva and Polly lived in Mecklenburg Co. as evidenced by the head tax that he paid in 1787, 1788 and 1789 and then they moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina, a trip by wagon train of over 300 miles. Their first two children, John Showell Allen and Banister Allen were born in Virginia and their third child, Charlotte Allen was born in Elbert County Georgia in February 1791. They made their home here for a number of years, surrounded by large numbers of Allen relatives. The Allen family was not in the 1800 census of Abbeville District. In 1799, they moved to Elbert County, Georgia and were living on Beaver Dam Creek for two years before returning to Abbeville. Family tradition states that Arva was a millwright. This could have been the reason for their living there for two years. There was a water mill on Beaver Dam Creek until the 1930's, perhaps built by Arva. Arva also had property on Coldwater Creek in Elbert County in 1804 - Elbert County, Georgia Deed Books K-R, 1806-1819, Abstracted and Indexed by Michal Martin Farmer; Farmer Genealogy Company, Dallas, TX, 1997. Elbert Co., Ga. Deed Book R, 1818- 1819: p. 72. 2 Feb. 1804, Samuel Means, Sen., & Margret, his wife, to Joshua Jinkins, all of Elbert Co., for $300, on a branch of Cold Water Creek in sd. co., supposed to be 100 acres, adj. Hugh Means & Arva Allen, John Beard & others, in fee simple. (signed) Samuel Means, Margret (/) Means. Wit: Micajah Farrel, Jno. Cunningham, J/P., Hugh Means, W. Martin. Rec. 4 May 1818. I believe Allen family kept the property for many years as grandsonson George W. Allen used it as his address while he attended Franklin College and grandson Alex went there to visit father John Showell Allen and his second wife in 1843. The 1810 census has them in Abbeville again. It lists 2 males, 16 - 26 (John Showell Allen and Banister Bolling Allen), 2 males under 10 (Thompson and Leroy Allen), 1 male 45 and up (Arva Allen) , 3 females 10 - 16 (Charlotte, Polly and Nancy Allen) and 1 female 45 and up (Polly Clark Allen). The 1820 census has no mention of Arva or his family in Abbeville and no one knows for sure what happened to them. One conjecture is that Arva, Polly, and the four younger children moved to Alabama after 1810. There is an Arva Allen, living alone, in Pickens County Alabama in the 1830 census. It is possible that Arva went there to pursue his trade, the building of grain mills. Family tradition says Arva died and is buried in Huntsville, Madison County,Alabama but I can find no evidence of that. Some researchers feel he died in Covington County, Mississippi. The Allen family migration to Alabama & Mississippi included several family members, Charlotte Allen Porter and her husband James M. Porter, Thompson Allen, Leroy Allen, Banister Allen's son Byrd Oliver Allen, and John Showell Allen's son, Samuel Linton Allen (a few years later). Charlotte Allen Porter got Arva's bible after his death but tracking this family has been difficult. I have not found them in the 1830, 1840 or 1850 census but James M. Porter bought or sold property in Huntsville, Madison County Alabama in 1839 and 1840. Their son 2 Arva Allen Porter is in Holmes County Mississippi in in 1850 listing 5 children born there since 1839. Thompson and Leroy Allen are separate head of households found in Winston County Mississippi in 1840. Leroy Allen also buys (or sells) property in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama in 1840. Byrd Oliver Allen is found in Noxubee County MS in 1840. Samuel Linton Allen is in Sunflower County MS during the mid 1840's and 1850's from letters. Arva could be buried anywhere in Alabama or Mississippi from the evidence I can collect. James Porter and Leroy Allen had property in Huntsville at about the right time. As to when he died, Alexander Arva Allen (grandson) writes 16 March 1843: " News had arrived when I was over (at Uncle Banister's) that Grandpa Allen was dead obtained through Bird's (Bird is Arva's grandson and Banister's son) writing to Uncle Banister. Uncle LeRoy (Arva's son) had obtained the Power of Attorney from him before his death, gone to Virginia, received the legacy and pocketed it safe enough, a great piece of rascality indeed having enclosed in the Power of Attorney a deed of gift to the legacy." This says quite a bit. Most importantly, Arva had a legacy in Virginia and likely we can identify his father and family. Also, grandson Bird was living in Choctaw County Alabama at the time, suggesting Arva died in western Alabama. It also establishes Arva's death in about late 1842 as Bird's letter arrives while Alex is visiting in early 1843 and Uncle LeRoy had already gone to Virginia to obtain the legacy. The Allen plantation was located on a hill overlooking the Rocky River in Abbeville District. There is such a place shown on the 1820 Mills Atlas (conveniently next to a water mill) that may be the old homestead although it could also easily be Banister or John Showell Allen's place. Rembert Allen , in "The Arva Allen - Polly Clark Family of Virginia, South Carolina and other Southern States" says that the original plantation was three miles southeast of Lowndesville and it became the home of Bannister Allen. John Showell Allen had a place three miles southwest of Lowndesville, close to Samuel Linton's " Mt. Pleasant" home, near the Savannah River. Diane Click writes that Mecklenburg was cut out of Lunenburg VA in 1765. Christine Allen Bevans emailed, in August 2020 that:I believe that Arva Allen is Arvey Allen.

Doug Tucker wrote me in 2005 "Here's a couple of possible leads for your search for Arva's parents. You already know that Bolling Clark's daughter married a Lawson Allen in Halifax Co., VA in 1802. My research notes show that Lawson Allen's father may have been a Henry Allen and that his grandfather may have been named Richard Allen. I don't think that Henry and Richard came directly from my research, but rather from another Allen researcher who may have been swayed by Lawson naming his oldest son Richard Henry Allen. There is ample reason to look hard at this and I did but other than the connection of Lawson Allen back to Bolling Allen d. 1809 Dinwiddie, the records have not been much help. There is no Henry Allen in Halifax WB 0,1,and 2 1782-1792 (as far as I went). There is no Henry Allen in the 1782 Continental Census Halifax or "Records of State Enumerations 1782 Halifax.

I know his mother was Sarah/Sally "Adams". (And I think he may have had brothers Alfred and James). I cannot determine who his father was. His grandfather appears to be James Adams who fought in the Revolution. Sarah/Sally having a last name of "Adams" is weird. Due to the exact match between us, I am wondering whether Sarah/Sally actually had a husband named "Allen" who died or something. Maybe Sarah/Sally went to live with her "Adams" dad for this or some other reason and the kids were raised with an Adams last name. I sayy this because it seems weird to me that Sarah/Sally's husband would also be the same last name of "Adams". You show your earliest ancestor being 1820, but I do know that the "Adams" in Mecklenburg lived on "Allen's" creek. Also, one of them married an "Allen" (maybe it was William, I can't remember for sure.) I know there were "Allens" living in close proximity to the "Adams" in Mecklenburg, VA." |

Obituary from the Washington Post: Sylvia Allen, 95: Former Nutrionist at Madeira Friday, March 2,3 2007 Sylvia Spaulding Allen, 95, a former nutritionist and house director at the Madeira School, an all-girls private boarding school in McLean, died of congestive heart failure March 3 at a hospice in Naples, Fla. Mrs. Allen began working at the school in 1935, a few years after Madeira opened its campus amid a rolling rural landscape in Fairfax County. The students addressed Mrs. Allen, who was single during her first eight years at the school, as Miss Sylvia. Initially, her responsibilities dealt primarily with health and nutrition. Later, as assistant house director and then house director, she supervised the school's facilities and all events on campus. She also chaperoned students on shopping trips and theater outings in Washington. "She was young and energetic with a sense of joie de vivre," said her daughter, Joy Allen Thornton of Arlington, noting that her mother was not much older than some of the students when she joined the administrative staff at Madeira. Mrs. Allen, a Detroit native, attended Albion College in Michigan, where she was a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority, before graduating in 1933 with a bachelor's degree in home economics from Simmons College in Boston. In 1946, Mrs. Allen left the school, and with her husband, Rembert Gary Allen, raised a family with two children. They lived in the Windy Hill area of McLean, where her husband designed and built a modern redwood house. She took up organic farming and gardening and became an active member of the Great Falls Garden Club. In the early 1950s, Mrs. Allen accompanied her husband to Wiesbaden, Germany, where he worked as a civilian architect for the Air Force. A few years after returning to the Washington area in 1955, she went back to the Madeira School, where she worked part time in the treasurer's and business office until 1971. In 1973, Mrs. Allen and her husband moved to Marco Island, Fla., where she was active in a local historical society and helped found a chapter of the American Association of University Women. The association recently established a college scholarship in her name. She also cared for a granddaughter, Rebecca Ruth Gill, who lived with the Allens part of each year in the 1970s and the mid-1980s. Her husband died in 1987. Her son, Bannister Bolling Allen III, died in 2004. Survivors include her daughter and granddaughter. |
