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. He is found in the 1812 in St. Tammany Parish on the tax list. Kathy Casagranda writes that he is a half brother to Needham Judge Alford. Also living in his household in 1850 is 22 year old Jasper Norris, a laborer born in Georgia. (1850 Census, page 27).
