MEFFORD FAMILY OF OHIO

Updated January 13, 2003


I am researching the descendants of John Mefford (b.1764), the younger brother of George "Flatboat George" Mefford, both of whom originally settled in Limestone (now Maysville), KY. John and his wife Elizabeth (?) moved across the Ohio River to what is now Ripley, OH.

I am looking for information on my great-grandfather, William D. Mefford (b. 1862), the son of George W. Mefford (son of George Mefford and Polly Ellis) and Rachel Drake Burgett. William married Anna (?) and they had three children. Family tradition says that William was struck by lightening and killed around 1899. According to the 1900 census, Anna was then married to Jacob C. Kautz. They raised tobacco on a farm near Ripley. Any information on William D. Mefford, Anna (?) Mefford Kautz, or Jacob C. Kautz would be greatly appreciated.
