Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Jesse Powell Alford  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    Birth 20 Dec 1828  Louisiana Find all individuals with events at this location  [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.
