The Cayfords in North America

All Cayfords in North America before 1950 were descendants of John Cayford and Judith Everett, imm. ca. 1796, res. Skowhegan, ME; of James Cayford, imm. 1869 to Montreal, Que., and cousin Daniel Cayford, imm. 1913 to Fresno, CA; or of brothers George and Abel Cayford, imm. 1870s to Rochester, NY. (Subsequent research discovered that descendants of Revolutionary Loyalist Richard Cayford changed their name to Jones.) Descendants of male and female lines were traced to 1984. Also included: some descendants of John's sister Sarah Humphries; ancestors of some spouses of early Cayfords.
