My great-grandmother, Amelia Rayford, married James Daniel Gurganus on Feb. 15, 1875, in Mobile, AL.I don't recall anything about Rupert A. Rayford; however, he may have been related since the Peckinpaugh family lived just two blocks from my grandparents in north Mobile, and they were great friends.The Peckinpaugh house is still standing at the corner ofN. Joachim and (I can't recall the cross street, but can find out).And, it was still in fine condition last time I saw it. A cousin,Julian Rayford,was a famous character in Mobile, resurrecting the Joe Cain Mardi Gras parade.He also was a published author.He's buried in the Church Street Cemetery, I think.I have some info on him somewhere; but, I've just moved and my records are scattered.Hope this helps.Please contact me directly at my e-mail address.
