It seems that the Pediford's are all over the place, I've seen the list of them in texas, and in illionois. From what the elders in my family explained to me is that my family is in North Carolina, Wake County. My Grandfathers name was LeeRoyal Pediford, He married Doshia Maynard. Here's something for thought. In my family of Pediford's there is one distinct feature that we have, if you can tell me what that is, we maybe related. Ok family get back to me.
