A cousin once removed of mine who just located me has had successes that have thus far eluded me and my Aunt Mary Lou. I think this is the proper WOOLFORD line we connect to in PA - Shenandoah Valley Virginia. The WOOLFORDs of Ste. Geneieve Co., Mo. and surrounding vicinity would be famaily as it moved west into Missouri to take advantage of the Spanish Land Grants. I have not yet had time to do more than read this so if anyone knows of the WOOLFORDs mentioned within please post on this list or contact me off-line as your prefer. james wall, current List Manager of the Woolford Rootweb list So thank you cousin Kathleen EDMISSION for this info: Berks Co.,Pennsylvania marriage records shows a marriage between Frederick Wolfarth and Anne Catherine Lieb, 12 November 1786. Deeds records of Shenandoah Co.,VA, show sales of land in 1790 and 1792 by Frederick Wolford and his wife, Anne Catharine. A sale of a lot in Woodstock in June, 1793, gives them as residents of Orange Co.,VA and Deeds books of Orange Co., mentions one boundary as 'the property of Frederick Woolford'. This is the latest record I find in Virginia but in the records of Ste. Genevieve Co, MO we find Frederick Woolford as a witness in a land claim that puts him there in 1798. He, himself, made claim to 640 A lying at the junction of St. Laurent and Mississippi Rivers in 1806. (This was the date the Board of Commissioners began taking testimony.) Presumably, Frederick had settled there some years earlier and had made improvements. Now: National Genealogical Society Quarterly includes a list of earliest Missouri marriages: 1804, June 23, Wolford, Frederick, son of Frederick Wolford and Eva Brown (sic) native of Pennsylvania, to Jane Stroud, daughter of John Stroud and Elizabeth Quick, native of Tennessee. Note: These marriages of non-catholics living in the District of Ste. Genevieve were conducted by the Catholic priest, not as a priest, but by his authority from the king. Names were written in French and in many instances spelled incorrectly. It is probable Eva (Brown) should be Eva Brunner.
