There is a "G.G." Winford, age 19, born in AR, in the household of J. S. Winford in the Crawford Co 1870 Census. I do not know if this could be same man but it seems likely. James S. Winford signed the proof for Elias Hays, that he had lived on his homestead property for the required five years, 5 Apr 1875.

Green Winford was indicted by the grand jury for stealing a horse from his father and selling it. Although living in the city, he was fighting shy. Sheriff Hawkins, learning that he was at Fayetteville, telegraphed his arrest and went up last Friday and brought him down and on Tuesday he was tried and found guilty and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. A man that would steal a horse from a poor, and almost blind father, deserved a longer time.
Note: The 1880 census did not indicate any disability for James S. Winford.


George is said to have died Eastern State Hospital, Vinita, Craig Co and was buried 20 Sep 1929, Fairview Cemetery, Vinita.
