Surnames: Wadford-Watford-Wolford-Walford-Woodford-Whitford-Hubbard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SSB.2ACE/2217 Message Board Post: I am researching my maternal genealogy of my great grandfather, William Henry Whadford. His actual surname may be Wadford, Watford, Wolford, Walford, Woodford, or Whitford. My aunt recounts a story in the late 1960’s when she and my uncle drove from their Colorado home to Walter Reed Medical Center to visit a very ill relative and along their journey, she spotted from the roadway a statue-possible headstone with the name of WHADFORD on it and an old country store with the same name spelled exactly the same way. They were unable to stop and investigate and of course she now wished she had, especially since she doesn't recall the location or travel route they took. Since she doesn’t recall where this statue and store is located and I’ve often wondered if what she saw was actually spelled differently; having concentrated on the “H” beside a “W” and in her mind she saw Whadford. I believe anything is possible, since our Whadford surname spelling is unique and through all my years of research, I have never been able to find a listing of another person living or deceased with that exact same spe! lling that was not known to me. This is why I believe our acutal surname may be Wadford, Watford, Wolford, Walford, Woodford, Whitford, etc. I've researched these names without success also. I hope the mysterious statue and country store was/is in Catawba County and I can at last concentrate my research with possible concrete clues that will lead me down a definite road to answers. Here is what we know: Great-grandfather William Henry Whadford was supposedly born September 15, 1862(?) in Alabama(?) approximately during the Civil War years (different years on different censuses) and the tale told is that his family may have originally come from the Carolinas and/or Georgia to perhaps Newton, Dale County, Alabama, where he may have been born. He was orphaned at a young age when his family may have died in a "plague" possibly on a river(house)boat and the story has it he was discovered alone after a couple of days. At some point, he was sent to live with an “uncle” in Florida, but ran away with “cousins” when he was a young boy and they ended in Texas with another possible “uncle.” The family is able to trace him from his first marriage to Mary E. Havens on October 25, 1885 in Rains County, Texas where he had worked building Sulpher Springs Road. They had a son, William Henry Whadford Jr. born Oct. 15, 1886 in Sulpher Springs, Ho! pkins County, Texas and Mary soon died afterwards. My g-grandfather then married Sminthie Ellen Matlock (b. Sept. 4, 1874 Marlin, Falls County, Texas) on Jan. 14, 1889 at Cureo, Dewitt County, Texas. They had six children: Leona Josephine (f) b. Mar. 20, 1890 at Cuero, Dewitt County, Texas Bonnie Monroe (m) b. Jan. 15, 1892 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Jessie Winnie (f) b. Sept. 26, 1893 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Maude Belle (f) b. Jun. 26, 1895 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Lillie Mae (f) b. Mar. 5, 1898 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Charles Henry Claude (m) b. Jan. 9, 1902 at Paonia, Delta County, Colorado The found censuses of William Henry are: The 1900 census of Montgomery County, Texas lists: William Henry Whadford, w, m, born-Sept, year-1865 age last birthday is 30 or 39 and he is a logger (possibly in the San Jacinto Range) and his unknown parents were born in Alabama. The census date is June 4th, 1900. The 1910 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Whadford, m, w, age 47 (birthyear 1863?) and as a survivor (dependent?) of the Civil War and that his father was born in Alabama and his mother was born in Florida. The census date is April 18th, 1910. The 1920 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Whadford, m, w, age 56 (birthyear 1864?) and both his parents were born in North Carolina. The census date is Jan. 24th, 1920. The 1930 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Wadford, m, w, age 66 (birthyear 1864?) and his father was born in South Carolina and his mother was born in Alabama. The census date is April 10th, 1930. William Henry died September 23, 1939 and is buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Delta County, Colorado. Recently, I finally found an Alabama census listing a Willie Wadford approximately the same age as my g-grandfather may/would have been. I included this information as the Hubbard last name may be some type of clue or tie you may recognize to the WHADFORD name/statue/country store and Catawba County. It is the 1870 census of Shelby County, Hillsboro, P.O., Alabama, page 423. I cannot clearly make out Ms. Wadford's first name. The listing is: Hubbard, James D. age 24, M, W, Farmer b. Alabama. Mollie, age 20, F, W, Keeping house, b. Alabama. Walter R. or B., age 1 , M, W, At Home, b. Alabama. Wadford, ? (Annie, (N)Annie, Ammie short for Amelia?), age 25, F, W, At Home, b. Alabama. Wadford, Willie, age 4, M, W, At Home, b. Alabama. My thoughts are perhaps Ms. Wadford may have been a sister (some type of relative) to James D. or Mollie Hubbard, but she could have been only a boarder. I cannot locate any information on the Hubbards as well. It’s my hope someone may remember or recognize the statue/country store and point me in a search direction, offer any ideas or put me in contact with someone who may be able to offer more search possibilities. Thank you Nancy L. Compton NLCOMPTON@RMCI.NET

I am seeking to contact any of the descendants of Able Herman (1833-1864), probably son of George Herman and Barbara Hunsucker. His military record reads: HERMAN, ABEL, Private - 28th Regiment, Co C - Born in Catawba County where he resided prior to enlisting in Catawba County on August 13, 1861. Wounded at Chancellorsville, Virginia, May 2-3, 1863. Returned to duty prior to July 14, 1863, when he was captured at Falling Waters. Maryland Confined at Old Capitol Prison, Washington, D.C., until transferred to Point Lookout, Maryland, August 8, 1863. Transferred to Elmira, New York, August 16, 1864. Died at Elmira on September 12, 1864, of "chronic diarrhoea." [NCT-8:145] Twenty-one Catawba County soldiers died at Elmira, including Abel Herman. Nineteen of them have been marked with a grave stone but Able is not among them. A page has been created to remember the Catawba soldiers that died in that prison camp. http://www.catawbascv.org/Elmira.htm Able Herman was married to Phoebe Kent (13 Oct 1833 - 2 Sep 1876) on 13 Feb 1853 in Catawba. She was buried at St. Stephens Lutheran Church cemetery in Hickory. It would be appropriate to erect a memorial to stone to Abel Herman as close to the grave of his wife as possible. If anyone would care to participate in this memorial, or if you have any additional genealogical information, please write me. --Derick DerickH@charter.net

I checked the book "The Catawba Soldier of the Civil War", it pretty much lists everybody who was in the Civil War from Catawba County. I found no mention of Marcus Lowrance, that is not to say he didn't serve. It's perhaps likely his name was missed. The County Library just of the Square has a book that lists everybody who was in the war. Check it to make sure.

I am still searching for any lead on a John Hause/Haus not sure of the spelling, parents Henry Hause and Catherine Rinck born about 1790. It appears that Henry Hause/Haus was married to Rinck sisters, the first one could have died in child birth and then he married Catherine. Her sisters name was Caty. Since there are Two Henry Hause/Haus about the same age, first cousins the best I can tell, one married to Catherine Plonk and the other to Catherine Rinck it makes it More than difficult to trace who is who. The only known child to me is John. Henry his father died before the 1850 census. The other Henry Haus/Hause was still alive in the 1850 census. I am sure there are probably more children from this couple but I can not sort out the two Henry's at this point. If you have any info on a John born about 1826 would love to talk with you. Thanks
