Hello, I am new to this list and after browsing the archives it appears my family is not one previously considered on this list. I am a descendant of Daniel WOOLFORD 1805-1880 & Elizabeth BLOOM ca 1809- aft 1860 who resided early on in Bollinger Co. Missouri in 1857 for certain but appeared to have moved around a bit unless it was merely state boundaries moving around them. They had eleven children I know of: Children of Daniel & Elizabeth surname WOOLFORD: 1. Nancy Ann m. 1) James McPIKE 2) Thomas BLAKEWELL 2. Sarah Jane m. John MAHAN 3. Frederick m. Louisa Emeline ALLEN <my line> 4. Elizabeth m. William L. MILLS 5. Rachel m. John Cantrel ROBERTS 6. John L. m. Mollie FREEMAN 7. George W. m. 1) Matilda COLEMAN 2) Victoria Virginia COLEMAN 8. Eliza Catherine m. Eliza COUSINS 9. Peter Bloom m. Martha Marietta TOWNSEND 10. Emmanuel Pratt m. Narcissa PALMER 11. Jacob M. b. 1849 <no further info> My Aunt has been to the old WOOLFORD farm and it had the remains of a pottery kiln on it and Daniel was reportedly a watchmaker and later in life a Justice of the Peace in the old huge Washington Co. Mo. Elizabeth BLOOM appears to be the daughter of the Peter BLOOM referred to in GOODSPEEDs who was b. in Maryland married 1790 to Elizabeth MATHENY in Hardin Co. Ky and in 1797 came to "Upper Louisiana" where he and the BURTCHER brothers Michael, Bartholomy & Sebastain claimed land in 1802 from the Intendant of New Orleans in St. Genevieve Co. Mo. Interested in anyone who knows of or connects to this family, james wall
