Bill I forgot — did you connect the Day’s in Gibson County, Indiana with those further east? I believe one name was Laban Day. One of those Day’s married one of my Wood’s, so that got me curious about that surname.
sorry for not commenting much lately — been working 7 days a week and might be doing that until mid/late January.
So I might be scarce for a while.
thanks

Sorry for the delay, Vance,
No. I did not connect your DAYs but I suspect it’s only because I couldn’t find the generation just before the ones you reference.

Thanks #9coal. I received that info already. Rumor had it that Mourning was Native American. What is your opinion on that? Also, it is interesting that the marriage record says Edward and everything else says Edmund.
The SS-5 I have for Will Day says that his father was Edward also. The stone that marks his grave says Edward.

Is there any info you need?
On the 1810 Burke County, North Carolina Census is an Elias Ledford with several other Ledfords. Burke County later became part of 16 other counties.
Is this our Aley?
Yes, this is the same set of Ledfords. I also have his name as William Alexander Ledford.
Have you or anyone else heard anything about any Farmers that come from Virginia settling in Greenup, Ky or Scioto Co/Lawrence Co, Ohio? There were coal miners in these areas as well and I believe some of the “teamsters” traveled between the Cumber- land area of Ky to Mason Co, Ky. Daniel Boone had a hotel or something like it in the late 1700’s in Maysville, Ky. I have hit a brick wall with these Farmers- particularly Adam Farmer b 1831 OH. Married to Eliza b1832 Ky. They lived in Lawrence Co, Ohio and Greenup, Ky. He was listed as a “teamster” for a few decadeds.
I checked and that came from an imported family tree. I also have William Elias Ledford as well. These people with all their similar names drives me crazy. I’m going to scream if I come across another John Farmer! Ha ha!
I have Aley’s parents as John Ledford, JR b1752 d1802 and Elizabeth Bryant. I also imported the following:
