Looking to trade information with descendents from John Wolford (b 1754 PA, d 1839 WV) who married Elizabeth Woolever. Their younges son, Martin, married Sally Harman and they moved to Tipton County, Indiana. I have information on John and Elizabeth's other children/grandchild for those interested... Regards, Diane Wolford

Looking for this man and his family in Indiana around the late 1840's to mid 1850's. I have no idea what county the family was in. Jefferson's son, Richard, who is my ggrandfather was born there in 1854. Would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if they see the name and location. I can follow up on him from there. Also trying to determine death date and location of Jefferson. I have papers showing he was in Steele County as late as 1872. Thank you all. Lorraine

Found some more today - will post the additional copies later this evening. Jim

I believe these Hampshire Wolfords of the 1830s belong to the family of John-from-Maryland Wolford. My John's family, by 1830, was in Radolph/Tucker county, WV. And Martin was in Indiana/Illinois at that time. I'm not sure where the Jay County Wolford fits in. Not my direct line...but it may be a cousin or nephew...or not a relation at all. Basically, my John served part time in NJ militia during the Rev war. Shortly afterwards, he moved to Hampshire county for 19 years, (which consisted of many current day counties back then) until 1800s when he bought land in Randolph County...which branched off to Tucker County. The "other" John Wolford's family stayed in Hampshire. Mine, however, did not return to Hampshire. Have a good weekend, Diane

Hi! To all of you who are researching the Wolfords of Western PA, particularly, Michael Wolford of Shade Twp., Somerset Co., I recently learned something interesting that may end up giving us the answer to the question, Was Michael born in PA or MD? I was recently sent the following information from the Rev. Pension Files by a professional genealogist. Michael Woolford (also shown as Wolford) Enlisted 15 May 1777 in Cpt. Griffith's Co. and Capt. Gray's Co., 3rd Maryland Regiment. Living in Somerset Co., PA in November 1815. His land warrant for 100 acres was delivered to the Honorable William Piper. He was also allowed land - 50 acres by Maryland and the land was t the west of Ft. Cumberland in Allegheny Co., MD. No family data. Affidavits were sworn by Andrew & Jcob Borenbile on Michael's behalf. Handwritten note says to see MD Archives, Book pages 35 and 490 - have no idea what that is about. Thomas was born January 10, 1755 in Dorchester Co., MD. Enrolled in Cpt. Edward Noll's Co. and William Richardson's Co., 5th MD Regiment. An iquiry to the file was made in 1925 by Mrs. Sarah E. Stuart, 204 N.Pierce St., Chestertown MD and another in 1925 by L. E. Hugnes of Mnneapolis, MN. Thomas died Oct. 8, 1841. Married to Elizabeth. Two children: Isabella Byns/Byus/Byers who died 9/12/1853 leaving a daughter, Eliabeth, issue. Son, Thomas is sole survivor in Novemer 1857 when he is petitioning for pension from his father. I posted the information on Thomas for contrast. Note that no birth information on Michael was included because none was available. Whereas for Thomas there was known birth information. Could this be because Michael wasn't born in MD? So then why would he enlist in the MD 3rd Regiment as stated above and also in his Rev. Pension file I received. I also received the following tidbit from another researcher from a different line of my family. "Some concerns Jake Sr's Rev War experience. However, there were 2 Jacob Moseses (sp?) in the Maryland 3rd regiment. It ties in with, I believe, the fact that there was a Jacob Moses in Chester Co." This researcher believes that though our common ancestor Jacob Moses was born in Chester Co. he ended up in the Maryland 3rd Regiments with bounty land in Somerset Co., PA. Then she went on to explain... "It's really interesting you mention another Pennsylvanian who was in the Maryland 3rd regiment. Once, a few years ago, I swear I saw a referrence in a Pennsylvania Archive that the Pennsylvania Rangers of the Frontier (I think-but definitely some Pa unit) were transferred to the Maryland 3rd regiment. Unfortunately, that was before I wrote down any referrences. I was strictly flying by the seat of my pants, but do remember a feeling of "oh, that's how he ended up in a Maryland regiment." Could it be that our Michael ended up in a MD Regiment by transfer? Could he too have been originally from Chester Co. just like Jacob Moses? So, what do you think? Leigh Ann

I'm looking for descendents of John Wolford, b 1754 PA, served in the NJ militia during the Revolutionary War, and later lived in West Virginia. He died 1839. One of his sons, Martin Wolford, moved to Tipton county, Indiana... Regards, Diane

Now, I know as list owner, there are a lot of new subscribers. Instead of lurking, how about posting who you are looking for? And for the folks that have been on this list since it's inception, now is the time to repost your queries. I am still seeking William George WOOLFORD, b. 7 March 1867 in Shaw, Lydiard Millicent to Ellen WOOLFORD. William was born out of wedlock. At some point, William George m. Blanche BECKETT Austin although I've had not success in locating a marriage license. Blanche was married to Henry Thomas Austin on 3 May 1881 at Old St. Pancras parish church, Middlesex, London. Henry died 30 November 1888 in London. I am unaware of any children that may have been born during this seven year marriage. If anyone is available to check that I would sure appreciate it! My grandmother, Lily Florence WOOLFORD was b. 17 September 1895 to William George and Blanche on 9 Bournemouth Street, Clapham, London. At the time William George was working as a porter for the L. B. & S. C. Railway. However, he was dismissed for some infraction. My grandmother Lily was raised by William's mother and stepfather. I also do not know if William G. & Blanche had any other children. They were living in Nottingham in 1910 when Blanche died. William died in Chelsea Hospital 24 December 1938, no known family members (his daughter had left for Canada in 1912). Any help in any of these areas greatly appreciated! Janice List Owner

I accidentally deleted the posting tonight from the person looking for info in Wolford. I will attach an earlier posting from James Avery who is the person you are looking for. He sent me a newsletter The Wolford Connection some time ago and it is chock full of info. I will try scanning it and getting it sent to the list. I have other stuff the scan and send and hope to get to it one of these days. Subject: Re: Maryland Woolford family Resent-Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 10:25:11 -0800 (PST) Resent-From: WOOLFORD-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 13:24:53 EST From: WolfordGen@aol.com To: WOOLFORD-L@rootsweb.com I am interested in the WOLFORD -WOOLFORD-WOHLFORD families however you want to spell them. I have a lot of information from records on Dorchester Co and appreciate you all putting them together. My burning question is about those WOOLFORDs or whatever who might have migrated west. I can';t believe all of them stayed in Dorchester Co. Where did they go to? There are WOLFORDs in western MD. Where did htey come from? Filter south out of Somerset and Bedford Co? from some of the eastern counties of PA? or even follow the National Road west from Baltiomore area? Did any of the Dorchester Co WOOLFORDs take advantage of the Bounty lands in the west? I am not really concerned with the spelling of the name - just relationships and where they came from. I also have a Wolford/Wohlford Resource Center web page. If interested, e-mail me and I will send Hyperlink. Jim in Vermont

Hi! I am new to the list. Can someone tell me where to find the Wolford Chat room? And I'd also like to connect with a James Avery Wolford, the owner of the chat room. Does anyone know his email address? Thanks! Leigh Ann

My Uncle Dave or Jim??moved to Cal. at turn of century. they were from Westmoreland Co., Pa. Max

I have come to a brickwall with this couple and my grand uncle William A. Wolford who moved to N. Hollywood, California. Thomas was born on the year 1828 in Randolph County,West Virginia. And William was born on the year 1888 in Poweshiek County, Iowa. Please help me, my e-mail address is (chamaroo@excite.com). Thank you, for taking your time. Josephine Wolford
