Good Day!
I'm researching the origins of an African-American family that was enumerated in Milledgeville, as early as the 1870s and a few decades later. The Rayford/Raiford line, near as I can figure, was not even recorded until the 1870 Census. Ned Rayford had been a slave, as likely had his wife, Kate, and most of his children. Records I have access to have not shed any further light on Ned, though, as he was listed born in SC, and the first "sighting" of his name is the 1870 Census, when he was already over 60 years of age. His wife was enumerated in the 1880 Census, but not Ned, so I would suspect he died between 1870 and 1880 in the Milledgeville area.
1870 Census for Milledgeville, Baldwin Co, GA (this, for now, is merely a solid possibility):
RAIFORD:
Ned, 62, m, B, carpenter, SC
Kate, 58, f, b, keeping house, GA
Alvin, 22, m, b, day laborer, GA
COOK, Albert, 22, m, b, day laborer, GA
COOK, Isabella, 21, f, b, GA (d/o Ned and Kate)
RAIFORD:
?Arn?, 18, m, b, GA (no idea on this name)
John, 9, m, b, GA
If anyone else is researching this family and wishing to share information, I do have a bit of info on the descendants, but not a clue on ancestries. Or, if someone might have an idea where I could find more information on this family, I'd be happy to listen to their advice.
Cheers,
Jared
