Back to Bible Index Back to William Standiford II's Lineage
From the resource notes of Grace N. Paris, 1952. Ms. Paris notes that she copied the records from the book Pages from Old Family Bibles found at the public library in Louisville, KY. She states that these records are in the possession of James Franklin Standiford of Ewing, KY in 1935. Beginning at ** below, is additional information found in the actual bible at Mr. J. F. Standiford's home by Ms. Paris. These records were generously submitted to this website by Mr. Herman Standiford.

More notes from Ms. Paris: "Mr. Jim Frank Standiford, was an old gentleman, living in 1935 at Ewing, KY in the Linking River Valley. His land is a part of the original land on which Aquilla and Sarah Standiford settled after coming from Maryland. Jim Frank is descended from William Standiford in two lines, while his wife, Sarah Hildreth, is also of Standiford descent. Jim Frank's father was George, son of James and Cassandra Standiford. Cassandra was the daughter of Aquilla, son of William of Maryland. James was son of Abraham, son of William of Maryl. Sarah (wife of Jim Frank) was daughter of Aquilla Hildreth, son of Sarah Standiford Hildreth, daughter of Aquilla, son of William."
