    1. William Wofford
    2. William WOFFORD left a will proven July 5, 1858 in LCT. He names his wife Judith daughter Lucy and grandchildren (children of his dec. son Isaac WRIGHT aka Isaac WOFFORD) Mary Eliza, William Francis, Isaac Rufus, Robert Harvey, and Luther. Son Isaac WOFFORD "...deceased and who was begotten out of wedlock upon the body of my present wife Judith whose maiden name was Judith WRIGHT." Son Isaac WRIGHT was known in the state of TN and MIS as Isaac WOFFORD but in SC before they migrated to LCT as Isaac WRIGHT. From Bastardy Bonds in Spartanburg, SC State vs. William WOFFORD/Judah WRIGHT A bond was signed before Saml Lancaster, Justice of the Peace on March 22, 1804 by William WOFFORD, John WOFFORD Sr. and James WOFFORD in the matter of Judah WRIGHT who had given birth to an Illegitimate female. So it looks like the above named daughter Lucy could be this female. The grandchildren, children of Isaac WRIGHT aka Isaac WOFFORD are on the Mississippi 1850 census. I find no cemetery records for William and Judith but found this in the "LCT Pioneers" by Waller Vol 1 page 85. Mortality Schedules of LCT 1860 Judah WOFFORD 74 female, white, SC, Aug, Disease of bowels 8 days. Judith belonged to the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church per "LCT Pioneers Vol 22 pages 56-61 Does anyone have info on this family or is researching it? I believe Judith WRIGHT could have been related to Jacob WRIGHT of Boonshill LCT as Jacob also belonged to this church as well as Susanna Jones who also may be a sister to Jacob. Julia
