    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.

    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."
