North Carolina Wilfongs

My mother's maiden name is Wildfang which, if pronounced according to German phonetics, sounds
quite close, at least to English ears, as Wilfong. I have an excellent volume "The Wildfang Family of
North America" by Terence Kidd. (His address is [email protected]). I checked the various entries
for Henry Wilfong and discovered a whole page, most of which refer to Hickory, North Carolina.
For example, there is a Henry Bryan Wilfong,
b June 20, 1897, in Hickory, Catawba County, NC
d September 23, 1983, in Hickory Catawba County, NC
His wife's name is Laura Lee Baker.
No descendents are listed
His father was William Henry Wilfong,
b February 26, 1859 in Smith County, TX
d October 5, 1933, in Hickory, NC
burOakwood Cemetery, Hickory, NC
Is any of this relevent? Please let me know.
Best regards
John Strickland
