Wilford and Mary were both born in MD; came to KY with
the Catholics from MD; married in Frankford Co. and later migrated to Adams
Co, IL. We don't know who they came with etc. Elise Jourdan, who wrote the
books on MD, said she wrote on the Protestant Cecils in her first book and
gave her Catholic material to someone who was going to write on the
Catholics, but who has never done so.
There is a Wilfred who married a Clarke in the same areas, but they are two
diffierent men. We have wondered if he were possibly an older brother,
cousin or uncle of Wilford. We would appreciate any help you might have.
Wilford and Mary had 12 children that we can count.
Elise Jourdan feels that Benedict in Maryland may have been the father.
Thank you,
Olin & Elizabeth Earl
