Rachel Wofford and James Trail, Sr.
I have been contacted by another Trail-West-Wofford descendant in SC who has done a lot of genealogy work on the above lines.
She has also joint-written a book that shows the many connections. If you are interested in her book you could contact Jackie [email protected].
On the Rachel Wofford-James Trail connection she quoted me fromAndrea's notes .
See pages of Trail Research by Morn M. Lindsay, 2 Dec 1987, page 2:
" Leonardo Andrea, in his notes on the Mosely family, had this to say about the Trail family:
" Capt. Benj. West of the American troops was killed by Tories in 1780/81and left a wife and four small children. His wife was Jane Trail and she was from Maryland. In some land transactions of Mrs. Jane Trail West she mentions lands entailed by John Wofford..... Jane's Trail West's mother was a Wofford. I have a few notes on the Trail family and often thought they connected with the Wofford family.... I found proof positive that Jane West was nee Jane Trail..... her mother was a Wofford."
(Leonardo Andrea, West/Trail binder)
(Jean must also have been called Jane.)
Thanks, Jackie!!
