Notes
- The Holden Family genealogy tells us that this person's name is Alpha Azalee Briscoe.
Commenting on survivors mentioned in Isaac Jefferson Briscoe's obituary, the compiler comments:
"3. Mrs. W.J. Seay of Davidson OK - Alpha Azelee Briscoe (daughter of Isaac and Mary Kincaid) 4. Mrs. H.A. Wooley, Mineral Wells - Sarah Briscoe (daughter of Isaac and Hettie Price) 5. George and Henry Briscoe - George, (son of Isaac and Mary Kincaid), Henry, (son of Isaac and Hettie)"

The 1880 census lists this child as the lastborn, but the entry appears to be A E, instead of A A. Alpha Azelee's mother, Mary Jane, died after her birth at some time before the census. I have not found the death record (April 2010).
