Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1142 Surname: COFFMAN, STANFORD, DUNN ------------------------- Seeking information on parents of Ardelia Canzada Stanford. Ardelia Canzada Stanford(b. April 10, 1873) married Lovell Lee Coffman III. She died in Carter Co., Oklahoma in Jan. 28, 1925. Her daughter Lavera Coffman (who married Noah Dunn) was my great-grandmother. Through study of census records, I believe her parents were William Stanford (b. September 1853) of Red River Co., Texas and Nancy A. (b. May 1850). They lived in Franklin Co., Tx in 1880 and lived in Red River Co., Tx in 1900. According to census records their children were: Viola Stanford (b. abt 1871), Ardelia Stanford (b. 1873), Memphis Stanford (b. abt 1876), Owen C. Stanford (b. Sept. 1878), Martha L. Stanford (b. Aug. 1883), Minnie L. Stanford (b. Feb 1886), and Coleman Stanford (b. Sept. 1888). According to census records Memphis Stanford lived in Murray Co., Ok in 1920. My grandmother states that the Stanfords might have been part Native American. According to census records they may have originally come from Georgia or Alabama.
