I am looking for information on Tennessee Basfords.

My great grand father was Thomas Jefferson Basford and lived in Cheatham and Montgomery counties, Tennessee.

I have tons of information on his wife, Fredonia Elizabeth (Big Mammy) Weakley, but can not trace the Basford line back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my website address:

Camp Douglas, Chicago, IL
May the 11th 1865
Dear father & mother,
I Avail myself of the present opportunity of writing you a few lines to inform you of the present state of our helth as for myself I am in tolible good health except a sornes in my side. David is about the same I think he will get his discharge in a few days the talk is that our Rigment will go to St. Louis in a few days to be mustered out some ses in side of five days we will start and I sorter think so myself as the order is to muster out all of the one year men amediatly and if that be the case I guess I won’t come home on furlow[sic] for it would only be spending money for nothing altho I would like to see you all very much and spend a few days with you and get something fit to eat as our grub is very pore which we have here

[Page 2]
I will try and give you a detale of the grub on which we live here in a plentiful cuntry where the pore soldier ought to have plenty for I bleve they see the hardest time of any body Well now I will proseed to give you the history of our living. First meat is very pore and looks as tho the brute had been faten on brouse.* I think that a good desent dog would hate his master if he was to give it to him to eat. 2 Bred which is so sour it wouldn’t make good swill for hogs for I don’t think it would be helthey for them to eat it and I think it would be kinder doutful whether they wuld eat it dry so or not. 3 Coffee it is very pore made in old camp cittles [kettles] a nigro that wouldent grumble at it, I wouldent consider him a desent one some times we have a little sugar and some times none we have to drink the black stuff clere so and the man that wouldent grumble at this wouldent grumble to be hung.

[Page 3]
and the way they treat us in rigard to our liberty is ruff they keep us pened up here like so many shep they never let us out except a halter round our necks in the shape of a [pace?] which extends from 9 until 4 onley and we have to drill 4 hours each day and on gard as oftain as ever third day and then if we do aney thing out of the way they slap us in the gard house the dam old lousy sell and keep us till the gray backs git on us so thick that if we ly down on one side they will role us over on the other and have the sport at it and very often have bitallion drill on the brod of our backs Well as I have give you a small history of our life I will bring my letter to a close by saying I hope when these few lines to hand that it may find you all well I think we will be at home soon thank the lord and you must take good cere of the children until I return so no more at present but remain your affectionate son until deth.

Hi

I replyed a few weeks ago about the Basford Family.

I have had confirmation that my great grandmothers father was Benjamin Basford.
I have looked on westmidlandsbmd for a marriage for Benjamin Basford at about the time that my great grandmother was born and there are two possibilities.

1. Benjamin Basford m Harriet Hartshorn at Tipton St Martin in 1895.

2. Benjamin Basford m Mercy Poole at Tipton St Martin in 1894.

I realise this second entry is part of your family tree but at the moment i am not sure which Benjamin I have descended from.

Did your Benjamin have a daughter named Sarah born 1898?

Sarah Lilian Married my great grandfather William Joseph Cooper at Dudley register office in 1921.

I would really like to confirm which Benjamin it is , any help you may be able to provide i would be very grateful .

Regards

Caroline

obit fyi - Allys Joy BASFORD Brownfield Magness, 1917 KS. - 2007 CA.

LorraineGilmer02 — 2007-10-30 18:15:21Z

not related - for your info only

Magness, Allys Joy

MAGNESS-Allys Joy Magness died Thursday morning in the house she lived in for 57 years after a brief battle with cancer. She was 89 years old. Allys Joy was born in Caldwell, Kansas, on Dec. 1, 1917. She and her younger sister Juanita moved with their parents, Allys Joy and Thomas Jefferson BASFORD, first to Las Vegas and then to California when the girls were very young. Following their parents' divorce, the girls were raised by their mother. Allys Joy attended Chapman College (now Chapman University) where her love of children led her to become a school teacher. Her first job was in the small town of Holtville, teaching the children of migrant farm workers in a one room schoolhouse on the edge of a dusty field. The students, ages five to eighteen, worked with their parents in the fields on sunny days; when it rained they studied with "Miss Joy." While teaching third grade in El Monte, California, Allys Joy was touched by the blind children who were attempting to mainstream into the education system, and so went back to school to get her certificate to teach Braille. For many years, first as a teacher, and then as a volunteer at Lake Marie in South Whittier, Allys Joy worked to serve the blind community. During World War II, Allys Joy married Carl Brownfield. Just three months later, Carl- a combat pilot- was killed in Europe, leaving Allys Joy a young war widow. After the war , Allys Joy met Chester Magness, recently home from his Army service in Europe, whose mother and sisters had relocated from Olathe, Kansas to Whittier during the war. Chester and Allys Joy were married at the First Christian Church of Whittier in June of 1946. In 1950, the couple moved from Long Beach into a brand new tract home on Loch Lomond Dr. in Whittier where they lived for 57 years. Allys Joy passed away in her bed in that home on Thursday morning October 25, 2007. She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Chester, her three children, Mark, Marilyn and Paul, daughter-in-law Linda and son-in-law Steve, her four grandhildren, Jason, Andy, Brian and Molly, one great-grandson Chester Keegan, several nieces, nephews and their families, and dozens of dear friends. A memorial service will be held at the First Christian Church of Whittier on the corner of Greenleaf and Hadley on Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 3:30 pm. Friends and family are invited to the service and a reception in her honor immediately following the service at the family home.

George W Basford bio sketch from History of Allen Co, Ohio

MargeDavis71 — 2007-02-04 18:04:09Z

History of Allen Co, Ohio:

"George W Basford, baker, Lima, was born October 29, 1856, in the village of Jeromesville, Ashland Co, Ohio; son of George W Basford and a grandson of George W Basford, Sr, a native of Ireland, and who came to Ohio in a very early day, beoming one of the largest landholders of the State, and who at his death left his children and grandchildren well provided for. The father of our subject has a family of five children: Napoleon O, Mary E, George W, John F and Harry E (Basford). Our subject was educated in Ashland County, Ohio. He was united in marriage, December 28, 1879, with Philira, daughter of James Leoffer, of that county. To this union were born two children: Ethel and James Carlos. Mr Basford came to Lima in Octomber 1884, and opened out in the bakery business."

Looking for more info on the family Basford aka Bashford, Bassford. Trying to verify if the Jane Bashford who married Israel Homan, 1832 in Wayne Co, Oh is the daughter of George W Basford (Sr) who came here from Ireland. That would make Jane the aunt of the George who is the subject of this bio. Jane may have lived in Maryland or Massachusetts before going to Ohio according to census records. Ashland County, Ohio was part of Wayne County, OH at one time.

Hello Basford researchers,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I recently spent some time updating many of the files on the Basford website with data we have collected over the last year or two since the last update. In particular, I updated the family tree register reports for the various Basford lines, as well as the census and VR data. I encourage you to stop by the website if you haven't visited recently (or if you have never been there)!

http://www.basford.org/genealogy/index.html

Please let us know if you have any corrections/additions to the data we've posted. Also, if you are aware of any other sites with Basford data, let me know and we can add a link to it.

Re: Australian Basford Branch

My research shows that my step grandfather was John George Basford/Bashford who had a son (George Augustus)with Mary Ford (b: Mary Walker) in 1880 in Carlton, Melbourne. My grandfather (John Edward b: 20 Oct 1870 Melbourne) was Mary's child by her first marriage (John Gray Ford) and he took the name Basford or Bashford. George Augustus died in Maryborough Qld in 1899. I have come up against a brick wall as to how either John Ford or John Basford came to be in Australia. Do you have any more information?

ALFORD, Martha Louise Basford

CooooCayemberg — 2007-01-02 03:35:27Z

The Leaf Chronicle, Clarksville, TN, January 1, 2007
Martha Louise Basford Alford, 94, Springfield, died Saturday, Dec. 30, 2006.

The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Adams United Methodist Church with the Revs. Anthony Perry, Ken Gillespie and John Halliburton officiating.

Burial will be in Bellwood Cemetery in Adams.

She was born July 19, 1912, in Montgomery County, Tenn., to the late John Henry and Ima Louise Jett Basford.

Mrs. Alford was a homemaker.

She married Ben Carmack Alford of Adams, Tenn., in 1936. Their marriage lasted 58 years until Mr. Alford's death on Dec. 27, 1994.

Mrs. Alford had been a member of Adams United Methodist Church for 70 years.

Preceded in death by sisters Nannie and Evangeline Basford, Minerva Yarbrough and Nell McAuliffe; brothers Robert Benson, Duncan, James and Hill Basford and great-grandchild Eric Alford.

She is survived by a sister, Ruth Brown of Springfield; sons, the Rev. Ben R. Alford and wife, Sheri, of Adams; Charles C. Alford and wife, Patricia, of Lebanon, and a daughter, Mary Nell Alford Lindsey and husband, James, of Adams; six grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.

Denied her dream of becoming a mathematics teacher by the effects of the Great Depression, Mrs. Alford devoted herself fully to the role of homemaker. She was a faithful wife and loving mother whose skills included gardening, cooking, sewing, community services, church work and serving as a teacher of ceramics.

Grandsons and grandsons-in-law will serve as pallbearers.

Honorary pallbearers will be members of the Adams UMC Willing Workers/Fellowship Sunday School Class, Rev. W. Garie Taylor, the Rev. and Mrs. Robert H. Lewis.

Re: Ship Speedwell

d0cb0b — 2005-08-28 02:34:29Z

Hi-

I would appreciate any information/resources you can give me regarding the Speedwell, especially any passenger lists, ports of departure and arrival around 1650.

I am trying to trace my GGGGGGGFJohn Partridge (m Magdalene Bullard) back to England. He apparently sailed from British Isles to New England, US ABT 1650 on perhaps the Speedwell.

He, his Brother William and Sister Margaret (Margery) Partridge could have arrived in ports of Boston, Salisbury or Lynn, Mass, US; Hartford, Conn, US, etc.

“Though their exact arrival date and port cannot be found, there is in the archives of Conneticut (sic US) a will of Adam Beebe who died aboard an unnamed ship (sic possibly the Speedwell) to America. This will, evidently written while sailing, has the signatures of William and John Partridge as witnesses. These signatures match those found in the record's of Medfield, Mass, US.“ -- Partridgenest.com

The exact port from which they sailed or arrived is unknown.
Prior to the sailing. however, history had them as residing in:
1) Bethnal Greene, Middlesex, Eng (Partridgenest.com) as well as possibly :
2) Northhamptonshire and/or
3) Navistock Eng

Thank you so much,

I've seen conflicting reports on her birth year - anywhere from 1815-1821.

She was burined in Western Cemetery in Baltimore City on 15 April 1901 and was found in several census with her husband. Census records indicate she was born in Maryland.

She died in Washington, DC. I'm trying to locate her death certificate to locate parentage.

She was the mother of at least three children - Edward M., Emma A., and Francis Wesley Orrell.

Any information on her parents and family would be appreciate.
