Looking for any Ledford relatives of Alford (Could be Alfred) Ledford born about 1813 in North Carolina. My Ledford relatives stem from my grandmother's parents on my father's side of the family. Alford (could be Alfred) Ledford b. abt 1813 in NC was married to Eleanor, b. NC. They had 9 children that I know of. and showed up in the 1850 census in Tippah County, Mississippi.

William Ledford, b. abt Feb. 1850 in MS Alford's occupation was listed as blacksmith in the census report. So far, I have not been able to find him on any other records before or after 1850. His daughter, Mary A. (Ann) Ledford was my great grandmother. She married William M. Fryar in 1851 in Alcorn Co. MS. He was the son of Thomas Fryar and Frances Grisham. Mary Ann and Thomas Fryar had the following children: 1. John T. Fryar, b. abt 1853 in MS 2. Elizabeth Fryar, b. 10/1853 in MS d.10/12/1927 in MS 3. Mary A. Fryar, b. abt 1859 4. Thomas H.

"Mattie" Fryar, b. abt 1872 in MS 7.Dorthula "Dollie" Fryar, b. 4/24/1874 in Tippah Co., MS, d. 8/5/1937 in Tippah Co., MS Sarah J. "Sallie" Fryar (my grandmother) married Hiram Louis Berryman, son of John M. Berryman and Ann, on August 5, 1888 in Pocahontas, Hardeman Co., TN. I have some indication that at least some of my Ledfords may have migrated to Missouri. I have a card from C. A. Pernot, Manufacturer of Picture Frames & Mats, 1229 Walnut Street, Kansas City, Missouri. The card is signed by Lloyd Ledford. On the back of the card are several small pictures that look to be made in the early 1900's. Written on the card is " Mrs. Grun ( could be Green) Ledford and children and Marmon Bass (lower right)". I have not had great success in connecting to other Ledfords, which seems strange because there are so many of them. I did not know there were som many until I got started on this. I will be happy to share any additional info I find and look forward to hearing from someone who may connect to my Ledfords. Jan Berryman Tallahassee, Florida [email protected]
