There's just too much of a cooincidence for our two lines NOT to be related. Why would two Wolford families settle in Tipton County? Martin and Sally Wolford left West Viginia and --according to the order of their children's birth--moved to Ohio, Illinois and finally Indiana. A newspaper article, in the early 1900s about the reunion of the Wolford-Wimer family (Martin's daughter, Julia, married William Wimer in Tipton), interviewed the granddaughter or great grand-daughter of Martin and said the family lived in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. Only flaw in this is one of Martin's sons said in his Civil War record he was born in Ohio. I haven't been able to prove or disprove this. Here's John's children and grandchildren from WV. 1.

Janine, As you can see, there are some similar names between your lines and mine...John, Asa, Elizabeth and Margaret (a marry-in). I am just wondering if your line is relation to Jacob...? I don't have proof when or where Jacob moved. I collected that tidbit from a county history book written in the 1970s/1980s, and I heard through the grapevine that one of the writers met an untimely death, so confirming her notes cannot be done.
