Dear Margie,I will try to give you a look at my Dunford family.In the 1790 federal census for Edgecombe county, N.Carolina there are two Dunford heads of family.William Dunford and Phillip Dunford.For several years I thought they were brothers, but within the last year I have discovered they were father and son.William Dunford died in 1807.His will lists his children as:Phillip Dunford, John Dunford, Jesse Dunford, Daniel Dunford, Suzanna Dunford and Thomas Dunford.
Phillip Dunford died in 1821.His will shows his children to be:James (the executor) and John (my g-g grandfather)both of them inherited land.There was also a sister, Mary Sumrell who didn't inherit anything
John got married sometime around 1830.Soon after he married Mary they took off traveling.The first child, Absley Elizabeth was born in Ala. in1836.
