Sorry, I only have Vol. II and III of the Cemetery volumes and there aren't these Wolfords in them - perhaps someone who has the other volumes could help you. There is in existence a typescript, Births and Baptisms of St. Paul's Lutheran and Reformed Church Near Clear Spring, 1788-1801, typed, 17 pages. But Russell's guide does not say where they reside. You might check the Historical Society Library and the Washington Free Library to see if it is in either of their collections. If you find where it resides, please let the list know because someone else needed to find those records within the last year. This typescript also tells you that it was a union church - Reformed and Lutherans shared a building and probably sometimes pastors covered for each other as was the custom. Most people will tell you to look at both records in a union church - in this case they appear to be together.
