John probably liked to write. He faithfully kept a diary during his trip from Marshall, TX to The Grove, TX in December 1872. He wrote a poem after the death of his second wife:
"I have lost my mate
My sorrows grate
I am once more left a lone
no tongue can tell the grief
i feel while on earth i rom
My race is run
My dayes dun
My sun is all most gone down
My hope is bright beyound
will shine brighter on the resurction morn

Jasper married Lydia ROGERS on 9 Jul 1851 in , Drew, Arkansas, USA. Lydia (daughter of John Peter ROGERS and Nellie ???) was born in 1831 in , , Alabama, USA; died after 1859. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Perhaps they both died in a short amount of time? Perhaps she remarried and I just can't find her. Mary was living with her aunt and uncle by 1870 and Ella was with same aunt in 1880. Perhaps she died when Ella was born.

Notes:

The county boundaries in southeast Arkansas changed quite a bit from the time the Burfords arrived until Philip died. Rather than moving around, the county lines changed around him.

Philip married Tabitha TANKERSLEY about 1822 in , Bedford, Tennessee, USA. Tabitha (daughter of Rowland TANKERSLEY and Clarissa WADE) was born about 1805; died about 1848 in , Drew, Arkansas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She may have been born in Tennessee.

Although I can't document this, I think your Tabitha was probably the daughter of Rowland Tankersley and Clarissa Wade, whose family had apparently moved from South Carolina to Tennessee between 1810 and 1820. Rowland and Clarissa are said to have had a daughter Tabitha who was born about 1793, and Rowland also had an older sister named Tabitha. (I also wonder whether the Ronald Burford in your lineage could actually have been Rowland Burford.)
Contrary to the widely accepted (but incorrect) version of the Tankersley lineage, which claims that Rowland was the son of an earlier Rowland Tankersley, Tabitha's father Rowland was the son of Richard Tankersley and his wife Winnifred. This is the same Richard Tankersley who is identified in the traditional lineage as the husband of Elizabeth Fountain. The original source (an 1893 genealogy by Charles W. Tankersley) claims that Richard died in 1748, but in fact I've been able to trace his journey through Virginia and into upper South Carolina, where he was still alive as late as 1797.
As I said, I can't prove it, but it might be worth further research.
