Researching MAMMIE LEE (STRICKLAND)... LEE Family - of Johnston County, NC in 1900; Sampson County, NC 1880. Several members of this family later settled in Cumberland County, NC after 1900. Anyone out there know of this LEE family or have access to the NC1880 Sampson County NC Census for Westbrook Twp? I have reviewed all of the US Census and WW1 documentation images that are transcribed below, but have no access to the NC census info. I have pasted my research results below... Our family history is that MAMMIE LEE (listed living in household of Sallie A. Lee in US1900 - age 15,) was at LEAST 1/2 Cherokee. Descendants of JESSE LEE, Mammies brother, state that Jesse & Mammies grandparents (maternal???) came from the mountains / reservation. As with many Native American wives / mixed families at the time - they are all listed as "white" in the Census. MAMMIE LEE, listed below, was my Ggrandmother and died in 1903 at 18 yrs of age. I cannot locate her place of burial, and this is all of the research I have on her, after a decade of searching. Her brothers IRA WHITFIELD LEE and JAMES CLAUDE LEE are buried here in Cumberland County at the Old BAREFOOT private cemetary in Western Cumberland County. I located and visited it about a year ago. Her closest brother - JESSE LEE is buried here in West Cumberland County, in the family Cemetary across from the Church he built with his own hands. MAMMIE LEE married GEORGE WILLIAM STRICKLAND, and died after the birth of her only child - my grandfather, WILLIAM BRASCO STRICKLAND. There is also CHEROKEE and other Native blood in the STRICKLAND Line.

Ron, I haven't a clue about your Elizabeth Hartsfield, but I tracked a family once of Sims and kin from Johnston Co NC to Oglethorpe Co GA about the same time period as you are tracking. They migrated very early to GA. Best I can tell it was about the time of the Peace because some of them were fleeing their British Creditors after the Peace gave the British Merchants the chance to collect on old debts owed before the Revolution. Wiley Henry Sims, son of Charles and Esther Murray Sims [Sr.], married a Mary Hartsfield and they all went to Oglethorpe Co GA from Johnston Co NC. Mary Hartsfield was born about 1774 in Johnston Co NC. A sister of Wiley, married a Mackleroy/McElroy and another sister married a Bridges/Bridgers. In any event, the whole bunch of them: Sims (parents and children) and their in-laws, including the Hartsfields, all went to Oglethorpe GA. In addition, I am told, without proof, that a Martin Sims was born in Johnston Co NC as was an Elizabeth Hartsfield were married in Oglethorpe Co. GA around 1807 or so. However, this Elizabeth Hartsfield would have been younger by about 30 years than your Elizabeth Hartsfield. Makes only sense that your Elizabeth Hartsfield was related somehow to this bunch who went from Johnston Co NC to Oglethorpe Co GA.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wadford-Watford-Wolford-Walford-Woodford-Whitford-Hubbard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gVB.2ACI/2818 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 Johnston 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 Johnston 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.
