Hi Victoria, My Cranford line is from the Troy,NC - Montgomery County,NC area.They probably came from Maryland in the 1700's and entered NC.There are quiet a few in the Lorton-Woodbridge,VA area. Richard and Betty Cranford had a number of children,most of the Cranford sons were killed in the Civil War,one came back minus an arm.My g-grandfather,Joel Griffin Cranford and his wife,Elizabeth Candia Moore Cranford left NC and moved to Danville,VA around 1917 or so.
