Snowberi, in re your question about the origins of ELZIE W. WOLFORD who Married CELIA RAINES, I suggest you look among WOLFORDs who married into the English ELSEY Family. The Elseys had settled in present day Preston County, West Virginia, as early as 1770 and they intermarried with other families who settled throughout the Cheat River watershed, including the Dry Fork of the Cheat River that drains the northeast portion of Randolph County, WV. The ELZAs of Randolph County are descendants of the ELSEYs that settled in Preston County. That whole area is relatively close to Bedford Co, PA. The spelling of ELZIE WOLFORD's first name is consist with the dozens of aberrant spellings (spellings of the sounds "L-Z") of the English surname ELSEY. I am a descendant of the Randolph County ELZAs and am related to all the Whites and Elzas with roots in the Dry Fork District of that county. As I pursue my own studies of these families, I will keep an eye out for the origins of your Elzie W. Wolford and will let you know if any of our Elza maidens married into the Wolfords. Best wishes, Harvey at Washougal, WA
