Miles Bedford, Randolph & Calhoun Cos., AL

I would like to know more about Miles Bedford, son of John W. and Nancy Bedford. This family is in Randolph Co., AL, in the 1880 Fed Census. Miles is 9 yrs old. He has a younger sister named Winney May (7). He is found again in 1910 (39 yrs old) in Calhoun Co., AL, and in 1930 (59 yrs old) in Oxford, Calhoun Co., AL. In the latter census, his wife is Mary V. and he has children John L, Edna I., Seward, Otis W. and Valiree plus some spouses of his children.

I am particularly interested in him because the names Miles and Winney May are also found in my Scarbrough family in the same general area and time.

From my grandmother Scarbrough's keepsakes, I have a portrait of Miles Bedford. He looks to be about 25 to 30 yrs old and is holding a tuba and wearing a straw hat. This would place the photo in the 1890s. It may have been taken in Clay Co. (derived from Randolph Co.) or perhaps in Marshall Co. where my grandmother grew up.

Any further info would be appreciated.

Chuck
