NC area traces its origins to William Ledford (ca. 1724-1798), who immigrated to Virginia in 1738 on the ship Walpoole with his brothers Henry and John Ledford. William married Elizabeth McCurry (1728-1810). Both are buried at Abbotts Creek Primitive Baptist church in Davidson County. There are also descendants of this couple in Rutherford County NC. Henry Ledford died in Virginia in 1755, but three of his sons, Obadiah, Henry and Frederick, came to North Carolina, as did the third immigrant brother, John Ledford, whose land was in what is now Randolph County NC.<P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of William Ledford and Elizabeth McCurry<BR> Sarah Ledford (1747-1829) m. 1) Samuel Spurgeon, 2) Frederick Spoolman (1795); died in Washington Co.

McKaughan family information states that she was the daughter of Archibald McKaughan and Jane Mercer, a couple who don't appear on our <A HREF="mckaughan.html">McKaughan web page</A>. Can anyone supply documentation for either surname? <p> * We've been told that George Towry (sometimes spelled Towery) died in 1794, and that William Ledford's will, written in 1796, names daughter Lydia Robins. This suggests that either George's wife was a different Lydia Ledford, or that the order of the marriages is reversed, i.e. that Lydia married John Robbins after George Towry's death. Can anyone supply additional information on this? <p> <HR> <H4>Third Generation</H4> Children of John Ledford and Grisella <BR> Nancy Ledford (1781-?)<BR> Susannah Ledford (1784-1861) m. <A HREF="swaim.html">Moses Swaim</A> (1786-1849), s/o William Swaim and Anna Robbins<BR> Grisella Ledford (ca. 1787-1864) m. <A HREF="peddy1.html">Keehln Peddicord</A> (1783-1849)<BR> John Ledford (ca. 1790-?)<BR> William Ledford (ca. 1792-1825)<BR> Buis Ledford (ca. 1795-?)<BR> Phebe S.
