My PAFFORD line is from William who married Mourning MELTON, they had Henry PAFFORD who married Sarah REDDICK, dau. of Kenneth & Rebecca BREWER REDDICK. Henry & Sarah had Henry Chandler PAFFORD who married Kisiah DAVIDSON, dau. of Joseph & Mary Ann PARKER DAVIDSON. Henry & Sarah had Orville Joseph PAFFORD, my grandfather.

Trying to determine where my greatgrandfather came from. My family came from Crittenden County, KY and goes as far back as my great-grandfather William. The problem with William is he left TN or AL after a fight that ended in the other's death. He was born in 1858. There are many others that are in the same boat I am. We can't even prove we're related until this gets resolved. Any thing you have is better than I have now. Thanks!
