Re: Gertrude Tilford, Canada

rdhanna1876 — 2012-05-06 20:41:05Z

It doesn't list her parents in the Bible but has this information

Hanna Hamilton born 4 Dec 1850
Gertrude Tilford born 15 Aug 1854

Children
Florence Hanna born 9th June 1874
John Tilford Hanna born 16th Sep 1877
Mary Emma Gertrude Hanna born 28th Apr 1883

Florence was the name of Hamilton's mother and
John was his father's name. Although John and Mary are common names, it's quite possible they refer to her parents.

The Bible also says she was from Cranford (not Crawford) and they were married Sep 11, 1872 in the presence of her friends(hmmm no parents...maybe they eloped). Hamilton was in NY apprenticing as a blacksmith.

Yes please email me the info you have r_d_hanna@sympatico.ca
I have more information on the Hannas as well if you are interested.

Thanks....Bob

I don't have an answer to your query re James and Mary Hart.

Does this book have a listing for Nancy Butler marrying ?
Tilford ? Nancy was born 1779 either in NC or Scott Co.,KY
Her father's name was James. She had 3 brothers,Thomas,James Jr and John.
I am not sure just when her family came to what is now Scott Co. They migrated around 1818 to Jennings Co.,IN.

JJ Tilford & Red Bill

rlm4040 — 2010-03-22 17:45:06Z

I came across this article in a newspaper I was looking through, and thought it might be of some use to someone. Plus, it's funny.

"'Red Bill' Breaks into Prison
"A man who styles himself 'Red Bill of Texas' is locked up in the city prison and refuses to disclose his right name. He is charged with assault and the complaining witness is JJ Tilford.
"Tilford says he went into a saloon and ordered a drink when a stranger came up and demanded that he buy a drink for him. 'I don't know you,' said Tilford. 'My name is Red Bill of Texas and if you value your life you had better buy,' was the reply.
"Tilford refused to be bulldozed and he asserts the man made an assault on him and threatened his life. The cause will be heard by Justice Brinkerhoff."

Rosina Youngs, daughter of Robert and Katherine TILFORD, b May 3 1861 d Mar 28 1889
Both buried in the Bayville Cemetery FHC # 017118

The book, "Times and Tides of Bayville" There is a quote about the TILFORD Brothers
"From time to time various persons have operated busses in and out of Bayville. At a very early stage in the development of the auto, the Tilford Brothers operated a bus in Bayville. The Hendrickson BusCompany became a well established firm and after changing hands many times is still in operation."

Hope some of this helps.

Robert TILFORD, Mary BARKLEY, George GORE, Cyrill Joseph CAMPBELL

GailCampbellSchulte — 2006-03-26 12:47:22Z

Looking for parents, siblings, and ancestors of Mary BARKLEY:
According to her death and burial records she was born December 15, 1854 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. The oldest record I’ve found for her is the 1870 U.S. Census, City of Detroit; the household includes Robert TILFORD, age 58, born Scotland; Elizabeth TILFORD, age 46, born New York; Mary BARKLEY, age 15, born Michigan; and John BARKLEY, age 13, born Michigan. I suspect that Elizabeth TILFORD is the mother of Mary and John BARKLEY. Mary BARKLEY married first George GORE, 3 July 1872 in Detroit, Wayne County Michigan; witnesses Robert and Elizabeth TILFORD. George GORE was born ca. 1834 in New York. I have no record of how this marriage ended. Mary BARKLEY married second Cyrill Joseph CAMPBELL, 10 July 1878. She died 27 June 1923 in Detroit.
Any help appreciated—will share what information I have.

George S. Tilford, 1790--1868, Cayuga Co., NY

gensearch127 — 2006-01-08 17:30:37Z

Additional information about the following Tilfords would be appreciated.

George S. Tilford (1790–1868) lived most, if not all, his life in Cayuga Co., NY. He was there in the 1850 and 1860 U.S. censuses and was probably the same George Tilford listed in the 1820–40 U.S. censuses in Sterling twp, Cayuga Co., NY. His first wife, Isabella (–1828) was the mother of James S. Tilford and (at least) two others. His second wife was Nancy P.

The son James S. Tilford (1811–1871) was listed in the 1850–70 U.S. censuses for Sterling twp, Cayuga Co., NY. He and wife, Nancy (–1880) parented 8 (apparently) children: Mary Patty (1840–1847), Martha A. (–1918), Sarah Jane (1844–), James S. (1846–), Nancy (1847–1847), Margaret Ann (1848–1922), George S. (1851–), and William C. (1854–).

Daughter Martha A. Tilford married Jacob Timerson ca. 1864. Daughter Margaret Ann Tilford married George Madison Farnham (1841–1922) in 1871 (his antecedents and some descendants are extensively documented in several published works).

John B. Tilford Louisville

SueMartinson — 2005-12-18 17:05:01Z

I believe that John B. Tilford was related to John W. Fleming, Jr., born 1894. John styled himself as "Tilford Fleming." The father of Tilford Fleming was John W. Fleming who was a bookeeper/auditor. John B. Tilford was a bookeeper. If you are related to John B. Tilford, please e-mail me and let's compare notes. suem600@earthlink.net

Re: Margaret Tilford

2005-12-06 18:33:31Z

Stan:

Take a look at www.Myindianahome.net
In the list of graves for Slippery Point Cemetery, Republican Twp, Jefferson County you will find:
Sanderson, Mary E., wife of Thomas, Sept. 5, 1814 - Sept. 2, 1880

Then see “Wills & Probates,” Mollie Sanderson is listed as an heir of Preston Tilford.

Then see “Marriages 1861-1864”: Thomas Sanderson married Mary E. Tilford.

The 1880 Census for Republican Township shows Dr. Thomas Sanderson, physician, and wife Mary E. living with a niece named McDonald.

I also show Dr. Thomas Sanderson, Jr. b. July 30, 1837, d. June 18, 1905 buried next to Martha J. Sanderson b. July 29, 1841, no death date given. My notes show this couple buried in Springdale Cemetery, Madison, Indiana. I don’t know who the Thomas was who is buried in the Monroe Presbyterian Cemetery.

I’m assuming Dr. Sanderson remarried after the death of Mary, who apparently wished ot be buried with the Tilfords.
I also note that the death date for Mary, in Slippery Point Cemetery, is an obvious error, probably on the part of the transcriber: 1814 should have read 1844, the year of Mary’s birth – attested by her age in the 1860 Republican Twp census

If you want, I can look at my Tilford document. I have information on Mary E. Tilford’s ancestry back as far as William Tilford, a Revolutionary War Soldier and patriarch of this whole line.

Hope this is helpful, but recognize that after 5 years, you may already have found answers to your questions. Bob

Re: Tilford/Haynes Ky.

2005-12-06 16:23:19Z

Rhonda: By this time, you may already know more than I do, but I have a record of two marriages in Ohio County between Tilfords and Haynes. These both came from:

MARRIAGES: 1795 - 1905, Ohio County, Kentucky,
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ky/ohio/vitals/marriage...:

TILFORD, LUCY
HAYNES, CHARLES 1-1-1836
ANCIL HALL WALKER DANIELS

Walker Daniels was apparently the bondsman, and Ancil Hall is listed in the column labeled “Married By.”

I found one Lucy Haines [sic] in the 1880 Census, born in Kentucky in 1815, widowed, living in her son’s
Household in Macoupin County, Illinois. She’s the only candidate I could find and I know that’s not much of a clue. I was unable to find any unambiguous trace of Charles Haynes.

TILFORD, JAMES Y.
HAYNES, SARAH 3-21-1843

In the 1880 Census, I found the family of James Y. and Sally Tilford living in Caneyville, Grayson County,
Kentucky, with 5 children and 3 adult males labeled “Other.”

I found a couple of LDS postings that give James’ middle name as Yandell. As is so often the case,
some of the information doesn’t jibe with other data, but they show him as b. 5 May 1820 d. 12 Feb 1899.
The census shows him born in TN, but LDS claims Alabama. Kentucky Death Records show no Tilford who died in 1889.

As for Sarah Haynes Tilford, LDS claims she was born in 1822, which jibes with the census.

I have a picture of a man with John and Bluford Goins taken in 1921 in MO. The third gentleman was either Tillman, Tilson
Tilford and may have lived next door, or at least close by.
Julian Ann Yandall Gowen married Nicolas Calvert Tilford, Jr.

Joseph M Tilford m Marietta Surface, Johnson Co Indiana

2005-09-27 16:05:16Z

Seeking information about Joseph M. Tilford b. abt 1844 who married Marietta Surface of Johnson County, Indiana. There are many references to him in the Index to the Christian Record, from which we know that he died in 1875, 4 years after his marriage. He is also listed as one of the ministers of Mt. Carmel Christian Church, organized in 1870 in Nineveh Township, Johnson County. Joseph and Marietta had two children, Eva May b. abt 1873, and Everett b. abt 1875. Could Joseph M. Tilford have been the son of Jefferson and Nancy Tilford of Clark Co, IN?

Samuel Tilford, Clark Co Indiana: Silver Creek Church

2005-09-27 16:03:37Z

Seeking information about Samuel Tilford of Clark County, Indiana. His name appears in a list of members of “old Silver Creek Church” along with that of Absalom Littell. Samuel apparently joined between 1816 and 1825. A history of the Littell family states that Samuel was the second husband of Absalom Littell’s daughter, Anna, whose name appears along with Samuel’s as Charter Members of the Sellersburg Church of Christ, established July 1832. I find no other trace of Samuel or Anna. (The Samuel Tilford of Jefferson Co listed in the Indiana Census for 1820 is a different person.)

James Hart m. Polly/Mary Telford/Tilford 1801

Seeking information about James and Mary/Polly Hart, whose marriage is listed in “Marriage licenses issued in Scott County, Kentucky 1793-1831” (Shane Collection) James Hart & Polly Telford May 21, 1801. According to a family informant, “Capt. Wm. Hart of New Albany, Indiana” was a descendant. I have been unable to find any traces of Harts in Floyd County.

Nabb Presbyterian Church & Tilfords

2005-09-27 15:59:26Z

Seeking information about Tilfords mentioned as charter members of Nabb Presbyterian Church in Scott/Clark Co IN in 1885: Anna Belle Tilford, John Tilford, Mary Tilford, William L. Tilford.
Others are mentioned elsewhere in the “History of Nabb Presbyterian Church” http://www.rootsweb.com/~inscott/NabbPres.html:
Emmett Tilford, Millie Hancock Tilford (from Pleasant Ridge Methodist Church), William D. Tilford, and one name that may be incorrectly transcribed: Pearl Watt Tilford Buxton. The 1880 Census for Fox Township, Jasper Co, IL shows John S. Tilford 32, wife Eliza J. 31, son William L. 8 mos., Emett [sic] 6, Neola B 4 and Bertha V. 3. In 1905, Emmett Tilford was elected both an elder and a trustee. Does anyone have any idea which John S. Tilford this might be?
