I went to http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/6598/raiford.htm and found Matthew RAIFORDs will written. From this I got the following children. Does anyone have anything further on this family? Has there been any developments on which Anne is his? As I understand it, he didn't die until 58 when, Ann (who married Joshua HODGES, Jr, would have been 20 years old.
