It is not that I have no interest in the WOOLFORD chat room. I am at work when you do it is all. james wall

For the past couple of months I have been trying to get a Wolford Wolfort, Woolford Wohlford family chat off the ground at _www.genealogycommunity.com_ (http://www.genealogycommunity.com) . Lately I have combined this with a paranormal chat since only 3 people ever showed up for the Wolford chat. Tonight is the last of either of these chats as the site is closing. If you feel like stopping by to talk about our Wolford Woolford etc family please feel free. We will be in the Foyer or the Ancestral Digs chat room. Jim in Vermont

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Woolford Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YIXBAEB/36.1 Message Board Post: I was suprised and thrilled to see your message. My paternal grandmother Edna Woolford was born in Seaford,Delaware. She had a twin brother and 4 other siblings.William.Viola, Florence (Flossie),and Sarah. The Father ..Frederick was a methodist minister.,their mother Minnie J. Wilson was born in Maryland. Frederick's father Wiiliam was a veteran of the Navy in the Civil war....was a sailor out of Seaford....his wife Sarah Harrington was born in Ireland. I have traced this line back well into the 1780"s. It seems to be related to the Nanticokes(Indians ) who remained in Delaware ,also. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Michael was certainly an interesting character. I was one of the German sectarians who was associated with the Ephrata Cloisters and is supposed to be buried there although his grave has not been located. He was also known as one of the Hermits on the Cocalico. As a member of the Cloisters he was celibate.Michael was one of the first Germans in America to use the printing press to spread the religious beliefs of the Cloister, although he never published his own religious views. This caused Ben Franklin to mention him in his autobiography. He said of Michael that he is like a man walking down a road in a fog. People in the fields on either side are in the fog. Things right in front of his face are clear. Eventhough he is in as much of a fog as anyone. Other items of interest along with Michael include Conrad Beisell (Michael's mentor) and the Celestial Virgin Sophia One of the fascinating people in early PA Jim in Vermont

Wolford born 4/4/1854. Footnote says she was d/o Jacob and Elizabeth (Floyd) Wolford. Eliza from Dauphin Co. PA. David was s/o Noah Hertzler and Susanna Garman (6/18/1817-12/19/1900 from Dauphin Co to Juniata Co. PA) . David Hertzler can be traced back more generations if you want. BL1275 refers to Susanna Blough of Somerset Co born 8/7/1842 who married Noah Lohr. She was d/o Jonas Blough and Elizabeth Bowman (line can be traced further back). Noah, according to footnote, was a s/o Valentine and Hannah (Wolford Lohr. No dates given for Noah or his parents. BK2142 Peter Berkey married Sarah Wolford, born c.1805 in PA. Footnote says "Sallie." Children of Peter and Sarah Wolford Berkey, all born Somerset Co., are Barbara (m. Jacob Wessam); Samuel 1825-1852 (m. Mary Stutzman as h1); Hannah c1828 (m. Jacob Knavel); Rachel c1830 (m. Stephen Stutzman as w1); Susanna 6/2/1833-1918 (m. Lewis Cobaugh); Jacob P c1836 (m. Sarah Dickey); Sarah c1840; Peter c1851. Peter Berkey the father is s/o Jacob Berkey & Barbara Miller ML65. More info available on Peter Bekey line. WV554 Daniel A. Weaver m. Mary "Polly" Blough BL 1351. More on each's ancestry is available. All ch born Somerset Co. Their daughter Christina Weaver 11/5/1851 no DOD, married Robert Wolford (4-12-1857 to 1/20/1916, Somerset) as her 2d husband. First husband was Joseph A. Boyer 1853-1895. Principal source of information about Somerset PA Weavers was Anna Casebeer Weaver (1818-1893) , who married a nephew of Christina Weaver Boyer Wolford. Names of Christina's siblings available and spouses, but not the next generation except for the nephew who married Anna Casebeer. I don't know whether your Wolfords would be connected with Michael Wohlfahrt, a/k/a/ Michael Welfare. Brethren Encyclopedia says: "WOHLFAHRT (WELFARE) MICHAEL, 1687-1741, Ephrata Community leader. Wohlfahrt was born in Memel (since 1923 Klaipeda in Lithuania) on the Baltic Sea. He migrated to North America, visiting Conrad Beissel in 1722 in the course of an evangelistic journey to the Carolinas. Upon his return he lived as a hermit near Beissel. Wohlfahrt was baptized by Beissel in 1725 and became a vociferous supporter of Beissel when schism occurred in the Conestoga Brethren congregation. He became a trusted assistant of Beissel in the Ephrata Community, where he took the name Brother Angonius. When Alexander Mack Sr attempted to reconcile the parties in 1729, Wohlfahrt mocked him publicly. "Wohlfahrt was known in Philadelphia for prophetic messages which he delivered regularly at meetings of the Society of Friends and also in public. Benjamin Franklin included an anecdote about Wohlfahrt in his Autobiography, commending him for an explanation of the Ephrata Community's noncreedalism. Wohlfahrt translated or wrote several books, emphasizing sabbatarian observance, which he imbibed from the Seventh Day Baptists. The writers of the Cnronicon Ephratense (1786) described at length Wohlfahrt's activities, including his mistakes, but praised his loyalty and humility." BE also includes a reprint of an article about this fellow in the Sept. 24 1734 issue of Benjamin Franklin's newspaper, the The Pennsylvania Gaztte, taken from F> Reichmann and EE Doll, eds., Ephrata as Seen by Contemporaries 91953) 9. Since he was part of Ephrata as "Brother Angonius" I would guess he did not marry and have children, but some married folks also joined the cloistered order. I did not find a listing for Wolford family. I did find some Wolfords in the ministerial lists of Brethren Encyclopedia: A. Klein Wolford (CB) Santa Ana CA addr 1920-32; Eva Wolford (CB) Ligonier, PA addr 1926-28. Harley H. Wolford (BC) 8-3-1880-4-26-1936; Roann & Elkhart IN (pastor 1914, 1918, 1920); Lathrop, Ripon & Turlock CA (pastor 1930s); W. Independence & Gretna OH (pastor); Ashland College, OH. William Edward Wolford (CB) 9-14-1877 to 12-1-1950; eld 1920 at Ligonier Valley PA (1902-46); Waterford CA; Reedley CA. Gospel Messenger May 5 1951 p 27 might well carry obituary. Sorry, I don't think we're related to any Thompsons. But the Tompkinses apparently have been Brethren since the 1880s or so, when a Tompkins married a very Brethren Stump. Hope all this helps.

Our WOOLFORD line made it to Missouri very, very, early. Frederick appears to have been one who moved west in the Spanish Land grant phase of Missouri development. My WOOLFORDs started out in the St. Geneieve//Bollinger Co. section of Missouri and dispersed from there. So it could easily be that Ms. SOLOMON's WOOLFORD line and mine might connect somehow. I am not familiar with her or her material, unfortunately. No Mormons in our family however. james wall At 11:01 AM 3/26/2006, you wrote: >James, >If your Daniel made it to Mo. by 1857,I wonder if your line might be >connected to Jacquiline Solomom's line. >She lives in Show Low Az. >I've met her. >She's written a book on the Wolfords but no copies are available as far as I >know. >Her father was an MD in Show Low. >They're Mormons. >Max > > >============================== >Search the US Census Collection.

James, If your Daniel made it to Mo. by 1857,I wonder if your line might be connected to Jacquiline Solomom's line. She lives in Show Low Az. I've met her. She's written a book on the Wolfords but no copies are available as far as I know. Her father was an MD in Show Low. They're Mormons. Max

This was posted on the Franklin Co., Ohio Rootsweb list. Can anyone identify this Augusta WOOLFORD? I cannot answer any questions about this couple am merely acting as a conduit between lists, she is not of my personal WOOLFORD line. "I am still looking for info on the family of Augusta Wolford who married Allen Henson 14 FEB 1856 Franklin Co, Ohio." I cannot locate a name for the person who posted this as it is one of those gateway posts, but the person who posted this address was: dlking56@hotmail.com if any one on the WOOLFORD list can assist. james wall

Copy of a letter from Genl James Hamilton to the Secty of the Navy, relative to the purchase of the Steamer Zavala Sir: Previous to my leaving New York, I had the good fortune, from my sincere wish to benefit your Republic to induce my friend James Wolford [?] Esqr of London to advance $70,000, if so much money be necessary for the purchase, alteration, armament and equipment of the Steamer Charleston for your Republic; which boat was at that time in Philadelphia. But before this she must be in New York where she will be completely fitted out to assure the purposes both of a marine frigate, and mail and passage boat and sent out to Texas with all possible dispatch. In consequence of the failure of the company to which she belonged she was bought for about one third of her value say of 30,000 as she is worth as she lies $90,000, and when equipped will be worth in U States currency at Galveston, at least, $150,000 to your Govt. She is one of the most beautiful boats in the U. States; and with the alterations proposed making in her will be one of the strongest fastest and most efficient. She was examined by Brown, the first Ship-Carpenter in New York who pronounced her sound, staunch, and eminently sea-worthy. Indeed she could not well fail to be all this, as her first cost was $117,000, and was built by one of the first naval architects and ship- builders 1 | _2_ (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/exhibits/navy/jas_hamilton_nov3_1838 _2.html) | _3_ (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/exhibits/navy/jas_hamilton_nov3_1838_3.html) | _4_ (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/exhibits/navy/jas_hamilton_nov3_1838_4.html) | Back to _exhibit_ (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/exhibits/navy/secondnav.html) James Hamilton to the Secretary of the Navy, November 3, 1838.
