Hello

I am inquiring to see if you have any supporting information to Parthenia Wofford's lineage. I have seen her father listed as James Warford and Nancy LNU, and I have also seen what you have provided with Jesse and Mary Drummond as the parents.

Thanks

Re: Daniel Wofford of Texas

Thank you for the reply, I was able to find a wealth of information. The Daniel Wofford born 1774 in South Carolina and died 1859 in Polk County, TX was the son of John and Eleanor Wofford.

This Daniel married Elizabeth Webb and they had the following children;
1. John Wofford (as you mentioned)
2. Webb Wofford.

Re: Daniel Wofford of Texas

There are probably many Daniel Wofford's. In deWitt County
there was a Daniel Webster Wofford who married Nancy Cooper
in June 1850. He was the son of John Wofford who was born 1799 in NC. I do not have any info on an earlier Daniel Wofford in DeWitt County. Source-Fuel for a feud by Marjorie Lee Burnett.

Daniel Wofford of Texas

Savannah1863 — 2011-05-18 23:17:02Z

Can someone provide the exact date of death for Daniel Wofford the settled in DeWitt County, Texas? I’ve seen 1846 and 1859. Also I found interesting references regarding a Daniel Wofford of Polk County, Texas and I’m wondering if he is one in the same as the Daniel Wofford of DeWitt County since their approximate birth years are very close (1771 to 1774). Also does anyone have or know of a will or estate record for Daniel Wofford?

Point of Reference #1: Daniel Wafford listed as a slave owner on the 1850 Polk County, Texas Slave schedule page 3 on 11 November 1850 listing seven slaves (the gender column were not completely filled out) and the 30 year old female was listed as “M” for mulatto.

Point of Reference #2: Eighty-two-year-old Daniel Wofford states that he owns a female slave and her five children and as "they have been faithful servants to him in his old age he wishes to give them their freedom." He therefore "prays your Honorable body to Pass an act, Permitting them to be freed, and remain in the State, as your Petitioner will comply with the Law to Prevent their ever becoming a charge to the State." Wofford further cites that said slaves "have been raised to habits of industry, and are well Known as being Slaves of good Character & Correct habits."

Slaves Owned; Susan, Jim, George, Alzaid, Eliza, and Henry

[Citation; Petition 11585310, Polk County, Texas; salutation To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Legislature of Texas; Filing Date: 1853 December 1.
Repository: Texas State Library-Archives Division, Austin, Texas (Records of the Legislature, Memorial and Petitions; Record Group 100; Box 15; Folder 3]

Point of Reference #3: my wife is a descendant of James “Jim” Worford born 1843 in Mississippi; he had a daughter named Alzaid and a son named Henry; he also had a brother named Henry.

Thank you,
Lyle

I start with Mose and Fannie Wofford who had 10 children starting in the 1890s. It is likely that your son and I cousins of some type. I think you've emailed me directly. I look forward to talking with you about the Woffords.

Re: Woffords in GA

Have you any information on your Woffords in Dalton? Any first names or approximate dates? There's a good chance that we have a common relation.

African American Woffords

kds29 — 2011-02-21 14:50:47Z

The Woffords I have information on were primarily in Georgia. But, I lose trace of many of them in the 1930's-1940's. They very well could have migrated to Arkansas. The name William Wofford shows up in my family history quite a bit. I have an article about my Woffords that was published in the Official History of Whitfield County Georgia. I'll share it with you. Please email me at kds29@cox.net
