Katherine, if you're still there, I, too, am searching for decendants of Samuel Bluford who married Maggie Higgins. I'm from Williamsburg Cnty in lower part of SC. My dad was aslo Sam Bluford (died 1963), supposingly the son of Samuel before marriage. My dad was raised by Samuel's parents (Bill & Annie). Does these names ring a bell? I've been wishing for this day forever. My family is huge. I only wished my mother was still here to finally meet some in-laws/nieces/nephews, etc. She passed on in 2007. Pls. respond back ASAP.

Guy Bluford is also a cousin of mine. I met him once.

Re: Bluford/Bear question

nbluford — 2008-08-06 21:45:53Z

Before my grandfather passed away in 2006, he told me that his grandmother was Cherokee. Chances are, we are related-Bluford is not a common name. Unfortunately, all of his siblings have passed on except for one, and the remaining sibling is ill. My grandfather probably would have been able to answer this.

Bluford/Bear question

blair878 — 2008-07-11 05:51:53Z

My family is Native American and was given the Bluford surname when we were added to the roles. Does anyone know how/why this was given and are there any other family members from the Bear family that would have any information about the marriage between the Blufords and the Bears? Thanks!

Hi my name is Patricia Madison. My great grandparents were John (Johnny) Bluford and Nancy Canzater. Our origins is Blythewood, South Carolina. We were told that Guy Bluford was a cousin. We have been able to connect the dots yet. There are many Blufords, more than we thought they were also.

Take care
Patricia

Hugh Bluford - appears to be 6 or 7 years old.
Bessie Bluford - appears to be 9 or 10 years old.

Hi Robert!

My GG Grandmother's name was SALLY ANN BLUFORD from North Carolina, born November 27, 1834. I was told she came to Tennessee in a covered wagon with her folks. She and Houston McKelvey from(Franklin Co., GA) married in the home of John Skidmore, Ball Play, Monroe County, TN, August 01, 1852. She died July 11, 1922 in a town known as Ipe,TN, Monroe County, Tn. and is buried at Citico Baptist Church Cemetery beside Houston. He died March 31, 1915. They're daughter Margaret Saphrona McKelvey born January 16, 1864 (My Great Grandmother) married Pleasant Douglas Mayfield, McMinn County, TN. I have tried to find more information on the Blufords and seem to have very little success. There is a listing in the Tennessee Vital Statistics, Monroe County, TN, 1914-1925, a James A. Bluford, age 84, died 1922. #160, born Buncombe Co., NC, Father Daniel Bluford (Bun.Co.), Mother Annie Simpson(Bun. Co.). Hope this helps.

I sent you an e-mail on the e-mail address given. I couldn't sleep until I found the Bluford-Leopold folder with family roster and addresses, along with communication from Dr. H.L Bluford. I have planned a trip to the National Archives the first weekend in November. Perhaps, we will get a chance to talk in person.Genealogy research is so exciting. It's addicting. I went to South Carolina in February 2000--in search of more information on James Bluford, my ancestor.

Bluford-Lepold

2001-05-21 11:01:36Z

I may have been in contact with members of this family in Arkansas and Illinois when trying to determine if my family and theirs were related. They sent me a roster of family members which I have misplaced but will continue to look for. My contact was with a Dr. Lucious Bluford who was a supertindent of a school system, near Chicago. The family holds a family reunion each year. Dr. Bluford has since died. Unfortunately, I could not establish a relationship with this family although I believe we are related. This family has relatives in Arkansas in the county adjacent to where I have relatives. Their family roster also had current family members in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Illinois and Michigan. Good luck

Hello Trina. In my family there are both Bluford and Blueford's. There is a very large concentration of us on the west coast (California) as well as Arkansas. I'm quite sure there is some kind of connection because I went to a funeral of my Great Uncle, His name was Dale Bluford. If you have any questions email me at Onfire4Christ@compaq.net.

Dyer family

Jane Bluford

lexspence — 2002-06-21 22:32:46Z

I come from a JANE BLUFORD (1751-) who married JAMES SPENCE (1748-1793) in Augusta County VA. I often wondered if her husband was a James, too. They had 3 sons namely, William, Bluford Thorpe (my ancestor) and James and had married c1771. You might look also at Richmond County VA as I find BLUFORDs there and maybe my Jane is from them. Her name Jane maybe part of another first name.
Have you checked the census as to where your James was born? There is a BLUFORD family in Edgefield County SC. Have you written them?

Bluford connection with St. John

CarolannSShepard — 2002-07-07 15:00:57Z

My husband is a St. John and is the 6th generation to carry the middle name of Bluford. This name has been handed down generation by generation from Thomas Bluford St. John Born GA ABT 1832 married Martha Moss Hicks GA ABT 1836. Thoma's father is James C. St. John NC ABT 1790 and married Elizabeth ?? GA ABT 1799. (The theory has been that she may have been a Bluford, therefore the name being passed down.) Can anyone help, please contact me directly. bellaplant@aol.com

BLUFORD WEST GREEN

mccunegen — 2001-12-02 04:54:04Z

Hi

We are new to this board.

We are stuck on the WEST line. Our gr-grandfather was BLUFORD G. WEST. There were several other BLUFORD WESTs bouncing around in 1850.

It has occurred to me that perhaps BLUFORD is a surname in the WEST family tree. Another surname perhaps involved is GREEN.

Have any of you BLUFORD's ever come across a marriage to a WEST or GREEN in the 1600's or up to maybe 1750 or 1775? This probably would have been in PA, VA, MD, NC, SC. Our BLUFORD WEST was born in KY in 1825. Think the other BLUFORD WESTs were from around the same time frame.

There may have been some surnames in between the WEST and the BLUFORD.

Would appreciate any little hint you can provide on location or connections.

Thank you

Carolyn and Jim McCune (mccunegen@juno.com or mccunegen@charter-internet.com)
