I do not know if the following data add anything to your records, but I thought I would send it to you and also to say thank you for your work.

My grandparents were George P (1874 – 1936) and Cornelia Venable Stanford. He was a tobacco farmer in North Carolina. One of George’s brothers was Leland, also a tobacco farmer. He was not the famous Leland of the University, but it seems strange that we had a Leland Stanford in our family at roughly the same time.

The Stanfords farmed in and about Siloam/Pilot Mountain where their three daughters and then two sons were born. The fourth child was my Dad, George Kermit Stanford born in 1910. The Stanford family moved to Arcadia, Florida, to become citrus farmers. I was born there in 1937 and, through my mother (Virginia Parker Watkins) was the fourth generation born in that city. Dad and his brother, my Uncle Alfred Woodrow Stanford, enlisted in the armed forces several months before Pearl Harbor. Uncle Woodie was a bombadier and ended World War II in Italy with more points than any other Floridian. (Points were comprised of missions flown, decorations, and days in the war theatre.)

My family, including sister Statia Jane Stanford born in 1940, moved to California during the war. I later graduated from Stanford University. An old family story is that there is a family tie to the Stanfords who founded the University. I wrote about that in my entrance essay. I think it assisted my being accepted to Stanford from which I graduated in 1959.

I would be glad to discuss these data with you should you wish to do so.

Dick Stanford

I have done extensive research. They moved to Barbour County from Duplin County NC. I will share whatever information that I have. Greenie or Green Stanford in particular stands out.

If so, she is my GG Grandmother and I have her photo.

Have you made your trip to Union Springs yet? Where in PA do you live?

Emily

My family too is from Barbour, Bullock Co. and Midway. Miles, Daniels, Hooks, Jordan,Lewis, and Ivery.

All around the same time, I would like advice for when I make my trip to Union Springs. I’ve done a lot of research over the net, and need to go to the ancestral home. I’m trying to get our “story” together also. I’m from Pa. had our last reunion in Detroit. Thanks for any advice, it looks like I’ll be following some of your tracks.
