Family Pages by Surname
 

Don't rely strictly on the surname as many people list multiple surnames. Generally they list the first surname as the one that has the most content on their page, or the one that has the closest connection to them. Many Sites have a descriptive name for their site with no reference to surnames.

Bryant - McDaniel Family of Franklin and Jefferson County, MS -The Bryant - McDaniel family was a well known and respected African American family living in Jefferson and Franklin Counties around the Union Church - Meadville area from at least the 1830s. Other surnames associated with this family are: Beal, Buie, Caraway, Coleman, Cox, Crump, Etter, Goff, McCormick, Pritchard, etc.

Buford/Bueford Family -  Buford/Bueford and Johnson family who have Mississippi origins. Henry Clay Johnson and Zada Johnson along with children William Henry and Claudie are listed in the 1870 census for Corinth, Alcorn co. MS. They are again listed in the 1880 census minus Zada. I believe she died but can not find out when and where. David Buford is listed with his extended family in the 1870 census for Alcorn county, MS. He again is listed in the 1880 census. Claudie (or Claudia) Johnson and David L. Buford married sometime around 1883 in Alcorn co. MS. They had four sons who -it has been said - were killed by a train. They had a daughter Myordyeen Buford in 1892 then moved to Redland, Cleveland County, Arkansas where they are seen in the 1900 census by 1910 they are in Walnut township, Nobel county Okla. Around 1920 they settle in Des Moines Iowa.
