I done have much more than what you know, but Can confirm it. From
the
book "Tipton County 1844-1976, Her Land and People":
"Martin and Sally Harmon Wolford, Natives of Pendleton County, West
Virginia,
of German extraction, moved from Illinois to join other West Virginia
families in Jefferson twp. late in 1845. Martin wolford in 1848 purchased
government land which would later be the west half of the town of
Goldsmith.
The Wolfords had 10 children, six of whom grew to maturity. ...... Of
their
children who remained in the area, John Wolford became one of Goldsmith's
proprietors in 1876. John Wolford, his wife Sarah, and their children later
moved to Kanas. "
The story goes on to mention a Wolford Cemetery near Goldsmith. I currently
have misplaced my copies of the cemetery listing but I am sure others on
this
news group have them. If you would like a scanned copy of the Wolford
Family
listing in the book, please let me know what format (JPEG, BMP, etc.) and
the
e-mail address to send it.
Hi again, Randy,
I just noticed an error that I missed the first time. John did not move to
Kansas. He moved to Nebraska. He bought the Nebraska land while he and his
family still lived in Indiana, so it's not an issue of moving to Kansas then
to Nebraska. The book has either a transcriptional error or something.
