Re: Axford yDNA???

samumford — 2009-09-30 18:21:34Z

I would like to get in contact with DAVID MICHAEL AXFORD. Along with another family member, I have been trying for a long time to trace back to England John Axford who settled in Oxford, NJ c. 1735. My fellow researcher's husband, a male descendant of John Axford, has had his DNA tested. David Michael's name appears on the report as a possible member of the same line. We would like to get in touch to compare DNA information.

hi Sue,

My maternal Great Aunt Ethel Marjorie Isobel Irene Phillips married Charles William Axford in Little Cheverell, Wiltshire, in the second quarter of 1927.

I'll send you my home email address.

Best regards,

Hello RouX,
I have been in touch with my friend whose husband has had his DNA tested. If you would like to get in touch with her, please either put your email address on rootsweb or send it to me at samumford@verizon.net. She is not on rootsweb and would prefer to correspond by email. We are both very curious as to your Axford connection.

RouX_Renard — 2009-09-06 01:35:18Z

Hi Sue,

That's marvellous. I'll be happy to look at his results and do a Haplogroup prediction. DNA is probably the only way we will solve some genealogy mysteries.

If I get a few more responses we might be able to work out actually who came from who and from where.

Best regards,

RouX

Re: Axford yDNA???

samumford — 2009-09-05 19:31:12Z

Your message very intriguing. I, with the wife of a second cousin,(Axford-Male), have been trying for a long time to trace the Axford roots back to England. This cousin has had his DNA tested with no really clarifying results. At this time, this family is in the process of moving and I do not know how to get in touch with them. However, as soon as their new address and email address is established, I know that we will be in touch and I will pass on your request as I am sure they will be very interested.

The earliest we can trace our branch of Axfords is circa 1715 to the NJ-PA area. Later on our branch moved on to Canada.

Axford yDNA???

RouX_Renard — 2009-09-05 10:35:35Z

Hi

yDNA tests are pretty cheap now. Do any Axford males know their yDNA Haplogroup?

I suspect Axford will be VERY old English, probably R1B1c.

Anyone know their yDNA group?

If you have had a yDNA test, with as little as 12 or 16 markers, I can predict your Haplogroup. Any takers?

Happy to be of service. I will soon get my desktop back from the repair shop (has my genealogy files on it). I've got quite a bit of information on the Axford line and will be pleased to assist where I can. As far as Lovie is concerned, what I provided is about all I'll be able to do.

Additional surnames from whom you are descended include: Axford, Raimer, Dunlap, and a couple others that I can't remember right now.

Re: Lovie Axford, Wyoming, m. Julian Utter?

nickutter — 2009-07-20 22:24:07Z

Thank you very much for the information. My grandmother had recalled her name was Arlene, Arlena, (or something similar). I saw "Lovie" on very well compiled Utter family tree--which is where I got it. We know absolutely nothing about this line. Julian remarried and had other children. My grandfather left home early and I don't think ever had much contact with the Axford family after her death. I would be interested in details regarding both her and her parents. I can be reached at "lawyer@nickutterlaw.com" Thanks again for posting.

Re: Lovie Axford, Wyoming, m. Julian Utter?

dukeallen — 2009-07-20 21:27:19Z

Hi Nick, just thought that I'd respond to your search for your g-grandmother Lovie. Lovie was my g-Aunt, her sister being my grandmother. She was born in Nebraska in April, 1885. Now the info gets very very sketchy. She married Julian Utter (date unknown) and I believe was his first wife. It is my understanding (from my Mom in some notes) that Lovie died in a car wreck in the Chugwater, WY area at a very young age. A friend (who is an Utter) thinks that they had one child before she died (your grandfather????). Lovie was the daughter of Alfred and Catherine Axford who lived in the Chugwater/Wheatland area of Wyoming.

If you would like, you can provide me with some information, where this other researcher can connect with you, and I'll pass it on.

Good hunting,
Duke

Lovie Axford, Wyoming, m. Julian Utter?

nickutter — 2009-01-12 20:08:28Z

I am looking for any information on a Lovie Axford, believed to be from Wyoming and believed to have married a certain Julian Utter. She would be my great grandmother if the above is correct. Julian had two wives. No idea what ever became of Lovie (wife number one). Any information is appreciated.

Re: curious

samumford — 2009-01-06 15:34:40Z

Hi, Your story about the duel is most intriguing and a story I never heard before. Another family member and I have been searching for John Axford's (of Oxford Furnace] roots for more than five years without much luck. It is possible that there may be a Scottish connection. We seem to find no connection in Wiltshire, Hampshire, or Devon. What we do know of John is that he married Johanna Beakes from a Quaker family in Bucks Co., PA. He then rented farm acreage near Trenton, NJ. His occupation as listed on the lease papers is "milner". After a few years, he travelled north and settled in the area now known as Oxford. We know definitely that he had a brother Jonathan who married the daughter of Edward Clemenz and had a landing on the Cooper River near Haddonfield. The landing in later years was known as Axford's Landing. We believe he also had a brother Charles. Charles married Johanna's sister Rebecca. They made their home in Trenton. I have not been able to find out anything more about when they arrived in this country and from where. Always open to hints and suggestions. Good luck in your sluething.

My uncle Ross Axford always claimed that his grandfather claimed thsaat the Axfords originally came from lScotland. On my computer I find quite a few Axfords in LScotland.I have a theory. The Axfords are in thle doomsday records. TLhey are all in the same place. Could it be that thley were the remnants of soldiers that the kilng hired from LScotland and they recieved lanld in Devon for thier lyoalty? LTheir is also another stoyr that comes down thlroughl stories. My ancester who first came to U>S>A> in the 1600's left England after killilng an Earl in a duel. He must have had money because he picked up 800 acres of land around present day Oxford Furnace in New Jersey. Check that out.......

Hi Roux
No, I'm sorry I don't know any Axfords, but I am tracing the 'Clelfords'. My maiden name was Calford and was derived from Clelford, it changed in about 1845 - 1850. I have so far traced back to James(my gtx3 grandfather) and Charlotte Clelford, shoemaker and wife. Not quite sure where or if your branch of Clelfords fit in with mine!!

Irene Axford (nee Phillips) Wiltshire, UK

RouX_Renard — 2007-10-05 23:57:17Z

Hello,

I am researching Irene Axford, nee Phillips.

I believe she was born Ethel Marjorie I Irene Phillips in Little Cheverell, Wiltshire, in 1908.

She married a man called Axford...

She died in Warminster, Wiltshire, in 1987.

I have found her gravestone in St Peter's, Little Cheverell, buried with her Mother and Father, my Great Grandfather and great Grandmother. So I guess she was my Great Aunt. Yes?

I am hoping she had offspring... ie. I have some cousins!

There is another gravestone in another church in great Cheverell.

James Axford, d.15 October 1954. Aged 72.
(His wife) Annie, d. 5th Feb 1963. aged 80.
with their daughter -
Lucy Ann Reed d.28 March 2000. Aged 88.

Are any of these Axfords related to any of you?

Hope someone can help.

regards,

RouX (Trevor James Clelford-Phillips)

Daniel (1794-1881) and his wife Margaret (Morgan) had three daughters - Rachel, Margaret and Nancy. Nancy Axford (1835-1921) married Isaac Dill and they built the house I live in in Hackettstown, NJ. I'd be happy share what I have on the "younger" Axford generations.
